LOL. This is mad, but then again, if there is a demand in the market for it and the people want to wear it, then who are we to stop them?
Where did you find that picture? Wow. Those are pretty horrible. Still, if an individual wants to dress badly, let em. I dress badly every day, it’s my inalienable right.
Also, if the Government really wants to help prevent corruption to the Native Omani Dress maybe they sould turn thier attention to the modern black slim-cut abayah, with or without Svardovsky crystals and plastic flowers. Not a common site here before the 80’s. Bring back the wiiiiild colors and craaaaazy patterns!
Omanymous,
That’s exactly what I’m saying, and I couldn’t agree more with you. Like if they want to be the fashion police then they should start with the Abayah. And there’s noone who would love a ban on Abayah more than me, but it’s not for the govrnment to regulate.
Nice photo! The ones with the zipper bring to mind Elvis in his later days, or something Gene simmons from kiss would wear. Hideous, but there’s no acounting for taste.
I stil think the government should stay out of it and apply themselves to solving the squillions of other societal ills first.
🙂
Nah, I say wear what you like.
I Abayah during Ramadhan, sometimes, and always for entery and exit to weddings to cover up whatever ghastly strapless ballgown I’m rocking.
It’s a handy garment if I need to go from a meeting with H.E. minister X directly to the baby swimming group or to the gym.
la 7awla wela 8uwwata illaa billaaaaahhhh
first, the whole ‘so tight, I can bearly breathe’ thing…seems like these guys give tailors their SISTERS’ size, not their own. S3oody guys have actually started wearin’ the ‘zipper ones’ – I saw ’em durin’ the trip in Rama’9an. Another style called ‘Racer’ – a rip-off from Adidas track pants, I believe – only difference bein’ the dishdasha – is becomin’ increasingly common, too.
Competin’ against women, guys? Leave the embroidery styles for ’em y’all..oh, I forgot – they’ve resorted to the ‘clothes there, but I’m still bare’ look now. Jalabiyas have become a thing of the past..& 3bas are headin’ down the very same lane, lil2asaf eshadeeed.
theese are very nice, this isent it i saw people with stones on theres soo this isent the most crazy thing ever. 🙂
[…] still give Q-Jumpers a really hard time while the 3mani Kuwaiti dishdasha is not longer illegal … I also have not been back to subway since I blogged about the sandwich […]
I am an Omani Male living in Oman. I currently work in Oman and have studied in Oman!
I decided to start this blog after I was introduced to Oman’s blogging society thru google web alerts. I set up alerts for Oman and Muscat and the most interesting alerts I got were from the bloggers of Oman. So after reading and following these blogs for a year or so I started to post comments as anonymous and people started to call me anon. I am not claiming that I am the only anon out there, but I decided to own the name and so Omanymous was born …
I don’t know what this blog is going to be about yet … but the idea is that I am just going to share my thoughts ..
