In Saudi Arabia, we wear something called the Thob. It’s a full-length, loose garment with long sleeves. The traditional color is white, but nowadays, new colors have been introduced, such as; brown, navy blue, black, grey and so on.
Now, for a more formal look, wee put on the Shumagh. It’s a square shaped cotton fabric folded into a triangular shape and placed on the top of the head. The, a double black rope like called Al Igal is placed on top of the Shumagh in order to hold it in place.
In my city, we dress a bit different. Everything is the same except we have another style for the headdress. It’s called Umma, it’s a long or large cotton fabric folded many times around the head.
