Somali traditional attire

Can someone post pictures of what somali's traditional wear is? all i ever see are bati for women and macawiis for men. is that it? didnt somalis borrow that from indians when they used to trade with them back in the day?

There's something called guntiino. I usually wear it instead of diraac. It's beautiful.

Guntiino doesn't look nice with a top.

I don't wear it with the top. I have my bare arms.

@juls Thats beautiful! i thought thats what a diraac was. Is guntiino specifically somali?

@shirib is that what the male traditional cloth is? do you have more modern photo? i can't see this one clearly.

@cherine My qabil knowledge is worse then my knowledge of af-somali...my anti isaaq posts are for trolling purposes only. i think of all somalis equally.

I don't mind well-known Somali sisters pictures being posted, and even they shouldn't be randomly plastered here and there.

However, I abhor, poor sisters who otherwise aren't projecting themselves for everyone to see being posted about on social media (inc forums). Laakin, if so you wish to post their picture for educational purpose CUT their faces off. Ditto for brothers too.

And this..

That's all there is to it, what changed?

Well somali men ceased to grow their out and slab it with butter, they were doing it for the last 1,000+ years but changed when modernity came along.
