Somali men; bring back traditional Somali clothing

[Finesse]

Sadly at Somali weddings; we will see a Somali bride wearing traditional outfits (3 or 4 types) meanwhile the groom is either wearing a suit or clothes imported from Asia aka the "macawiis" or the square Omani hat;

This is the original Somali dress for male nomads;

NOT

THE OMANI HAT:

OR THE SAUDI HEAD WRAP

OR THE MALAYSIAN/INDONESIAN SKIRT aka "Macawiis"-- it's called a LUNGI and it's from Asia

 

[Finesse]

Meanwhile Tutsi men have retained their cultural dress and look how regal the groom looks.
That's how a Somali groom should look, without the pattern. Cushitic elegance.

 

[Finesse]

Even this is tolerable and a modern adjustment;

 

[Finesse]

Even Somalis in Harar dress like Indian/Omani hybrids;

If it's so easy for you to change your clothes in your homeland, you will lose everything else easily also.

What is this?

the typical low iq lamagoodle considers actual somali clothing to be haram since it doesnt match the saudi attire

Even Somali women have been forced into triangular multi-coloured "jilbaabs".

What is wrong with adjusting your ethnic clothing to be more modern or modest?

We are a lost nation who hate our own clothing and land.

Even when young Somalis show off traditional clothing in the west, they wear that Asian lungi!

Shameful.

Are you Bangladeshi???

smart lamagoodles right here

 

[Finesse]

We need to bring back the core values, clothing and language of Somalis. You cannot have pride without showing pride in who you are.

We can have fusion food but not fusion cultural clothing, what are we?

What will we wear in the future?? Geisha outfits?

modern dress shirt , if macawis isn't good than tutsi should wear this.

Abaayo.
The saudis have used Petro dollars and fake clerics to destroy our beautiful Somali culture.....we need to promote our beautiful culture amongst the youth to counter the saudi attack and influence on our people... You're doing a wonderful job with this thread

The Tutsis, like every other group, has regular clothing and ceremonial dress.
You can wear the lungi but it's not our tradition.

 

[Finesse]

You can wear the lungi (macawiis) to sleep but remember, you are not a bengali fisherman, you are a nomad. It's not our traditional clothing so don't claim it as such.

There is going to be a point when other ethnic groups notice that we are wearing their clothing and they will ask; WERE YOU NAKED BEFORE??

Same goes for those Somali girls who dare to wear Hindi Saris at weddings and Bindis, cringeworthy.

macawis is compatible to nomadic culture , highly doubt nomads were wearing alindi fabric as well but thats the main representation of somali culture.
