The Somali Khamiis styles, as you can see from the image below, there is a strong sense of INDIVIDUALISM. No clone outfits, different colours, different styles of wrapping the head dress. One of them isn't even wearing a head dress. You get the gist.

These fits look colour coordinated and classy. Our odayaal wear clashing colours. They look sloppy to be frank. :(

Yes, yet those are for, and by the middle class and higher echelons of society whereas our odayaal are languishing at the bottom of the social hierarchy post 30 years of wars, but you get the gist of it, when done right.
By the way, in pre-war .So, middle class men used to wear macawis, with kofiyad, shaal, and nice pair of sandals mostly in the evening, after a day at work, to network and socialise. Some of the family photos are lovely. Again, social strata, status, and peg.

In Cadan, this is more common. So is wearing, macawis, jacket, boots, jambiya, and a rifle to match (more recent)!

How did Somali men go from rocking traditional cotton outfits (regular men), and Black robes etc (merchants, leaders), to wearing Hindi fishermen macawiis in public. Something serious has happened to the Somali psyche, and an amnesia of sorts.

Sorry walal, just seen this now. Somali shops sell that headwrap, it's a cimaamad style. You can also get it in Dubai and everywhere really. You can also get your own material, and get that sewn into a cloth style.

You can find tutorial styles on youtube such as this for example;

So fascinating how from 1900 to 1970 all the odeys were skinny. Hardly a pot belly in sight. My grandfather May Allah have mercy on his soul would be around 98 today if he were alive. He as skinny and muscular at 70 when he died. Men of my fathers Gen who are now in their 60s have bloating bodies and weak muscles.

There is deffo a huge change in diet. The diet my parents had in Somalia in the 60s and 70s is vastly different To the crap people eat now and it was probably even better when my grandfather was a lad in the 40s.
