Instead of Macawis which they have for thousands of years all I see in Minneapolis is these Arab wannabes wearing this everywhere even a Palestinian here was shocked and asked me do men wear it back home in Somalia I said no they don't.
Why are Somali men wearing thawbs?

West makes you more religious and majority of Somali’s want to identify with being muslim. So wearing thobe I guess comes in clutch.

Wearing Macawis outside is ghetto wow
Macawis are hideous. Don't get me wrong they are quite comfortable but wearing them outside the home is akin to putting on a kilt on your day to day activity.
Macwiis is not traditional it was borrowed, by that logic thawbs is no problem to wear either since it is also borrowing

As a seasoned macaawis wearer it shouldn't be worn outside of a 10m radius of your home . Same goes with baati's & bonnets
A cadaan girl once saw her Somali neighbor wearing the "macawis", and then asked, "hey Moe, why are you wearing a skirt?". Folks, others see macawis same as skirt.
Cadaans also call the khamiis as "bamboo dress".
I wouldn't wear either of them in public.

I live next door to Arabs they wear it all the time
Well that's a bare faced lie because they do
