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.

Macawis do not look good. They are overly flamboyant without the style. While thawbs are simple, white and elegant.
One looks like a bride going to a wedding and the other looks like you are hitting up a 70s disco night club.
Abdis choose your pick!

It can slip off real fast and many wear nothing underneath

Or in special cases, it makes things much easier for some men who faces challenges of communicating with women (not that I condone it though).

For instance, a Somali Bantu brother was brought from the refugee camps to Maine, US. In the apartment complex where they were staying at, there was this cadaan family with a beautiful young lady. The brother faced a language barrier, but he assured adored that girl and wanted to do everything in his power to get that girl.

What did he do next? He carefully charted a plan: He would wear a macawis without underwear, keep an eye on that family's balcony, and as soon as that girl was out and looking at him, he would pretend he was tightening his macawis but would actually drop the front half purposely. The goal was to communicate to the girl and show her what he was fielding.

The young lady threw a laugh every time that Somali fella dropped the macawis. Well, it didn't go as he hoped so. The girl's mother got suspicious on what her mother was smiling at every time she was out in the balcony by herself. She started looking at things from the window while also hiding behind a curtain. Well, she eventually saw what was happening nearby and what her daughter was laughing at every time that Abdi dropped the macawis.

What did the mother did next was not expected at all. She went to the local newspaper and exactly explained what she witnessed. She complained that refugees and new immigrants need to be taught that nudity isn't acceptable in the US, and men should not be showing their genitals to young girls in a public setting.

Somalis have been wearing the Thobe for centuries But the problem was that they were wearing the Harari Thobe But because of our failure, we now wear the Saudi and Emirati dress. We should only return the traditional Thobe
 
You posted this on a Friday. Did you expect men going to the masjid wearing sweatpants or macawis? Friday is an Eid and you're suppose to look good.
 
macawis isnt even somali. the word itself is arabic. even then, macawiis is equivelant to a baati. its casual clothes. somali men should have our own clothes like the dirac. something we can wear formally
