How To Tighten Loose Weaves

Omani Omani women fashion

It took me a long time before laying this message ...
Because I wanted pictures representative, and here, the people who resent being photographed. And also because I had lost much of my data, and I just get them back after trephination of my ex-laptop.
Today, talking about men's fashion, it will be time to delve into the feminine styles ...

Daily, the Omanis wearing a long robe, the dishdashah , often white, but whose color varies according to personal taste: this is where we discover the infinite variety of white ( green, vanilla, ocher, blue, sand, purple ...)

Here in Nizwa souk animals:



A Barka in fighting bulls (on a Friday, 2 the western exit of Barka in Arenas, 16 hours, until sunset prayers). For more details, and beautiful pictures, elp speaks

They wear a loincloth underneath cotton, mostly white, trimmed with lace fringe tracking colored white, sometimes Spain is a plaid in shades of blue. When it is discovered sit on a dirty or foul (the souk of fish, for example!): didache 'in the air, butt down. Why raise the bottom of the dress? Because dischdacha must be clean and well ironed. There, right, the young Omani just doing his laundry in a fallaj (irrigation channel). We are far from cities where his clothes are entrusted to a "laundry" that makes dishdasha clean and ironed, for a kiss (the cents here). (No nasty comments on porting baby baba-cool, thank you ;-))))

The head is covered. Always. (Well, almost ... young people ... in the country ... we will talk again!)

The turban is reserved for holidays, important people, and guys who drive 4x4 towers -operators, it's more "local", it pleases the tourists. Here, carried by the Sultan, with the ceremonial coat , and khandjar (curved knife Oman) is the class. (Mosaic at the entrance to the CCC)
The coumarin is the alternative to the turban, the beret of everyday life, that hides the lock of hair in front, cut either horizontally (we tested for our boys, barbers do not know what else to do ...). Women who have the courage to embroider the coumarin themselves for their children. Others make do with the tailor, or buy everything at a souk, such as tourists. (We are, ouiiiiiiiiii!) So? Who will win? Turban? Couma?
The essential accessory that completes the bookkeeping: the phone. For the feet, tatane leather. The must: ostrich leather, white pearl.

Youth who are kicking the anthill adopt social conventions a kind of long shirt Scottish rest days, s'affublent but the most rebellious of U.S. style clothing or warm suburb ... not even scared! The clash of generations (posture and style ...) Note the cane the old Baba. Bye bye!
