What do you think about the jilbaabs and abayas importation after the 2006 icu rise in somalia? I prefer Siad barre’s era and before when Somali women dressed modest and not like wahabi Saudi women

I would prefer Somalised Islamic clothing that meet Hijab criteria. Don't call Jilbaabs and Abayas "garbage"
Gabarsaar and guntiino are perfectly acceptable jilbaab isnt part of our culture and people it’s was imported to our country by wahabis from the gulf due to our civil war and lack of government and the rise of the icu in 2006 before 1991 and from 1991-2006 our women didnt wear these foreign clothing

Preferences won't matter. I believe all women will be wearing burkas soon. Give it a decade. Let them do as they wish

I've seen plenty of ladies in Somalia who wear modest clothing that are not Jilbaabs and they colour coordinate it as they see fit. I believe that once the country stabilises more, people will have more money and interest in self-expression but I hope they stick to hijab criteria.
I like how they wear that light garbasaar or a shash in Djibouti, no big ass tents.

Like this?

it‘s disgusting and an insult to our culture.

Jilbaabs and Abayas aren't disgusting as they follow hijab criteria so don't be offensive.
They can also look cool when styled properly.

Personally I don't like the tent style jilbaab as I think it's impractical and also not aesthetically pleasing, but to each their own I guess.

This Jilbaab style below looks better and is more practical and modest, as you can see the material has 'arms' and so the wearer can run their errands without having their arms restricted.

Somali.
I don’t Mind Somali women wearing the Hijab or dressing modest.

but what I don’t understand is; why does it have to look junky or inappropriate.

Look at this Indonesian women: she wears the Hijab and also dress modest...

I loathe the tent style, but we have to consider that Somalia went through extreme trauma. Nobody had time for fashion, people either fled the country and those that stayed behind are mostly not city dwellers, but came from the countrysides and just adopted the only islamic clothing that was being imported by traders.


Even nowadays you'll see Somali mothers in Europe who use the more modern jilbaab styles with arms and not the tent style.

@Pwyneth Galtrow The hijab used back home is hideous, not even used that much outside Somalia.

I couldn't find what I was looking for but this is close.

Those things on their head the two women on the left side, isn't that a shash? All of them have modest clothes on.

2 are wearing diracs with scarves backwards, 2 are wearing a headscarf but the head covering for ALL of them doesn't cover their chests.

If they wore bigger scarves I guess that would meet hijab criteria.

notice how almost all of the women are obese even though they're most likely poor living back home

I don't like the traditional somali clothing for women which has been the most common outfit since 1960s (dirac, guntiino/goorgorad and shalmad)

I like the old traditional outfit that women used to wear
