Went to 3 somali weddings this year and all the grooms were wearing Khaleeji clothes

[Sedderr1234]

I said Somali men should wear this, but a lot of them scoffed at this


Simple with a modern twist and the traditional hangool stick. Why is this not good enough for a wedding but Arab cosplaying, is?

this looks super similar to Yemeni attire

Somalis wore the exact same clothes as Tutsis, the only difference is that Tutsis still wear their clothes, with a slight modern twist, to their weddings. Meanwhile Somali diasporan men insist on acting as if their male ancestors were naked.

This is basically pilgrimage clothing, nothing special

It's the diasporan males who shame us, the ones back home, even if they don't have much, know what to do when it's time to show 'culture'

this isn’t cultural or anything, the dancers just got what a guy doing umrah would wear to hold the ihram cloth together
