I cringe every time I see it lmao, it’s literally just a white t-shirt, a white macawis (which isn’t even unique to Somalis).None of this is ever gonna really change unless somalis bring back our formal attire or make new or modern versions.
Your alternative is too archaic and tacky. People wear it back home but not that much at all in the west. I have only ever seen it online in random cultural events.
Where would one buy the belt in the west or do you get it shipped in?
I think instead we should rebrand and make new stuff or develop on the old stuff we used to wear in formal settings. This outfit realistically is just badiyo culture.
Somali women who dominate the whole clothing side of things have developed different things over the years but there has been no advancement on the somali guy side of things we just adopted a western style shirt and stuck to maawis. That's dead in my opinion and most guys ain't gonna wear that it's pj's
What I don't get is this one sided complaint tho suits are basically in the same category yet I don't hear any complaints made is this just hate for anything arab?
