Somali men tradtional clothing vs Beja traditional clothing

[Khaem]

Nice man! I’m going to try to get my hands on one too next time I’m in Djibouti or Dir Dhabe. The Qolxad makes the Djibouti emblem the coldest outta all Somali emblems imo

Yeah it's cool asf

We should get rid of the star and use the emblem instead like Eritrea

If Djibouti did that it would probably be my favourite flag design in Africa ong Ethiopia should also revert to their Lion of Juda flag. We gotta get all the cushites to have fire flags

This is real Somali culture. Not the ugly T shirts and fancy khamiis those royal people wore.

Btw: I don’t get the hate for macawiis on here. It’s just a coloured variant of the same skirts your ancestors wore.

The current Somali men attire is not ugly

Yes it is. The most basic thing ever. The only claim it has to being traditional is that it has a white macawiis. It is not at all the two sheets wrapped around the body.

But it looks like an offbrand poor man's version of the Arab khamiis.

كان الصوماليون يرتدون هذا الزي منذ القرن التاسع. وهذا ما سجله الصينيون خلال تلك الفترة.
