Somali Cultural Clothing are the new fashion 'Trend' for African women.

[𐒁𐒚𐒒𐒂𐒘𐒂𐒗 𐒎𐒚𐒗𐒗𐒒]

Let's just accept it.

We've been robbed.

I saw West African Muslim girls in one video having a 'baati party' in New York. And Habesha girls, hosting a "baati" party. They're getting smarter with it and just calling it a "Baati party" now to avoid our comments flooding them. But it seems to be, that Somali clothes, are going to be appropriated under 'modest' clothing etc.

As long as they give credit, call it the correct name, I give up. I don't even feel angry anymore. It just goes to show how influential Somalis are, and that a lot of groups want to be Somali women/take the swagger, essence of a Somali woman.

Do you have the source for these two? I've deleted tiktok and I haven't seen many things like these lately. It's a blessing really. I don't see why west africans are wearing baatis though. They have quite nice looking Kaftans (I think it's called Kaftan).

i don't think it would be that hard you would just need to use colorful Somali fabrics like we use in a formal dirac.

NONE of them ever had 'baati parties' or wore it at home like that. Except for the ones who more recently adopted our clothes in East Africa. But even they didn't post about "baati parties" or wore it outside of their homes in the Western hemisphere.

The global impact of Somali women is truly underrated.

They’re gonna act dumb in the comments when called out like Baati isn’t a Somali word lmfao

I actually prefer them using the "Baati word" as it doesn't even sound like any other language.



The Swahilis cling onto the bastardised 'Dera' word for dear life and act like the Arabs gave it to them. They really enjoy pedastalising Arabs and giving them ownership of Somali cultural attire.

If I could travel back in time, I would save the Alindi from East Africa and also, NOT sell Somali clothes to dadkaan kale.

Because it's not being appreciated, it's being appropriated and Somalis are also being disrespected at the same time.

So, it's a small win, to see them using a Somali name for it.

While other African women are cosplaying as somali girls, other Africans/black people are mocking Somali men. I guess that’s the difference between representing your culture’s beauty with pride and being a clown at the expense of your people.

If other African women don’t credit us, it’s out of jealousy

They came for the food and afterwards the dress. Mark my words they will claim our language and history because they will state it "african language and history". We need to stop the pan africans among us who's trying to make business from our item. All business is not good business.

All those flags at the bottom is making me laugh.

I agree sis, we need our own islamic dress. I know for a fact the copycats will be on our heels, oo dharka isku dhajin doona

Ideally I'd like the cut/shape to be different as well though. An open dirac sort of style. Thanks for your suggestion. <3

The food? I haven't heard of that one. Most cuisines seem pretty different to ours besides some Kenyans dishes.

Alindi originated in Somalia right? I've seen similar fabrics in Eygpt, yemen and oman.

Their baatis are nice. I nees to know where they're buying them at least. I own only a few.

It's a little odd to me. The concept of baati parties is nice but I really like the west african versions of baati. They're beautiful. I don't see why they'd do this.

This is what bothers me. We're the first to be thrown under the bus but now it's "Yay we're all africans ♡".
