Is there any significance to the headscarves that Romani people sometimes wear? I saw a webtoon called The Witch and The Bull (the witch characters look like stereotypical Romani people) and I realized that it is in some depictions like in Mystic Arcana but not always.

Yes, actually, and I'm glad you asked! We see these specific types of headscarves all the time in depictions of Romani people, but we don't see much of the cultural context. The image of a Romani woman with her hair tied or covered by a scarf is so ubiquitous that the scarf itself has become something of a visual shorthand for Romani womanhood, and all of the stereotypes that are unfortunately attached. That's why they're so pervasive with witches and fortunetellers in media.

So, what's the real deal?

The scarves worn in traditional Romani dress are usually called dikhlo, but the spelling may vary depending on your region or community. Dikhlo can be worn in a variety of styles, and they aren't just limited to head coverings. In Calé culture (that's me 👋🏼) similar garments are worn around the shoulders like a shawl, and in some communities, men wear them around their necks like kerchiefs or, well, like scarves. Dikhlo are often made out of printed or patterned textiles-- floral motifs, particularly, roses, are especially common. Like many elements of Romani culture, these aesthetic motifs and clothing styles can be traced back to the diaspora's origins in South Asia.

When used as a head covering, dikhlo primarily serve as modesty wear. In some cases, there is also a sanitary element to covering or binding the hair, as cleanliness and practicality are factors in many elements of Romani culture.

Different communities have different customs and expectations about this sort of thing, so there is no one set of rules for who has to cover their hair, or when, but it is primarily reserved for women. In many communities, married women were traditionally expected to cover their hair outside of the home, and the dikhlo itself was worn in particular styles to reflect marital status.

These traditions are still in practice, but as I understand it, modern generations are a lot more relaxed with these customs. Nowadays, many people choose to wear dikhlo simply as an expression of their cultural identity. Romani cultural dress is frequently appropriated, and Romani cultural expression is often heavily policed, so, in that context, yes, there is quite a bit of significance to this garment. I do wish more people understood this context, because if they did, the dikhlo probably wouldn't be used in such a stereotypical, appropriative fashion by gadjekane artists.

20 Cultures & Nations That Continue to Wear Traditional Clothing Everyday

The world has drastically evolved in many different ways during the past 100 years.

Previously, for a number of reasons, each nation, each region, and almost every town or tribe wore its own distinctive traditional attire. Some were made due to the weather, some for the class, and some because those were the only colors and materials available.

Today, only a small percentage of communities worldwide continue to dress traditionally on a daily basis.

Pakistan

Sari and the shalwar kameez, two types of traditional dress, are worn in Pakistan.

The shalwar kameez is more popular throughout the nation, even among Punjabis.

Saris are typically worn by Muslim and Hindu devotees, and are more frequent in cities than anywhere else. These traditional outfits are made of cotton and are loosely draped around the body, keeping the wearer warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Indonesia

Indonesia is a group of islands with many varied civilizations, each of which has its own traditional and "westernized" clothing.

Let's focus on the kebaya. Today, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Myanmar, some regions of Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines all wear the kebaya.

It's almost always floral and typically paired with a silk, cotton, or polyester sarong. It’s the traditional dress of Indonesia but is predominantly worn by the Javanese, Balinese, and Sundanese.

The kebaya blouse, the brooch (since the original and traditional kebaya has no buttons), and the sarong or skirt make up the traditional clothing ensemble that is typically worn. Many different styles are used today to make it modern, and it's common to see among the people

Maasai of Kenya

They still wear clothing with a variety of colors and patterns nowadays. Both men and women wear flowery patterns. The most prevalent traditional clothing costume is a kanga, a one piece worn over the body.

It's also customary to wear beaded jewelry, and each hue has a unique meaning. For instance, the colors white and red denote peace and bravery, respectively.

The beads were made out of a variety of materials before European contact, including clay, seeds, bone, etc.

The majority of beads created today are composed of glass. Head shaving is also a right of passage for both genders. The Maasai's traditional clothing seems to be enduring despite their use of contemporary materials.

Sami of Sapmi

The Sami people are found in northern Russia, Sweden, Finland, and Norway. You may have seen Kristof in Frozen wearing all black, but Sami's traditional attire is the complete opposite!

They dress in vibrant hues, elaborate designs, and a variety of styles. It is known as a gakti and is worn during ceremonies, work, and reindeer herding.

Nowadays, the gakti is typically made of cotton, wool, or silk instead of the reindeer leather used in traditional versions.

Wearing certain colors, patterns, or jewelry might reveal a person's origins, marital status, and even the identity of their family.

Bhutan

Both men and women still dress traditionally in the little nation to China's south.

A gho is the term used for guys. Women refer to it as kira. The men's attire consists of a knee-length robe with a waist tie. A kabney, a silk scarf that hangs from the left shoulder down to the right hip, may be worn occasionally (like at celebrations).

In fact, if a man works for the government or a school in Bhutan, he must wear the traditional garb, called gho.

The female kira is an ankle-length dress that is typically tied at the waist and clipped with brooches at the shoulders.

Vietnam

Although the ao dai may not be as popular as it once was, it does seem to be making a comeback.

Although it is gender neutral, today most women wear it.

This is the attire you will find in settings where uniforms are common (e.g., schools, banks, restaurants, flight attendants, etc.). Typically, when we think of traditional attire, we picture conservative looks that cover everything.

The ao dai does cover everything, but if you want it to be more promiscuous, you may make the cloth as thin and translucent as you like. Additionally, it can be tailored to fit tightly and form-fittingly to highlight the body's inherent curves.

Japan

We've all heard of the kimono, which in Japanese literally translates to "thing to wear," but did you realize there are other types of it?

The kimono is available for both men and women.

The most complicated ones have 12 separate parts, including the women's. There are several obi styles and ways to tie them for formal and casual situations in addition to various kimono styles for various occasions.

The kimono for males is more simple, typically consisting of 5 pieces. Today, they are typically darker in tone (blues, blacks, and greens), however occasionally brighter hues are used for more laid-back occasions.

Conclusion

i love palestinian and arab culture so much.

my grandma wearing thobes around the house and making us tamriyeh. my cousins wedding when we all wore thobes and keffiyehs and took photos downtown and we danced with someone playing the guitar on the street and this lady stopping us to tell us we all looked so beautiful. walking the graduation stage in a thobe. the girl who liked to guess arab peoples ethnicities telling me "you're wearing tatreez... do you want me to write 'palestinian' on your forehead?" the keffiyeh my brother keeps on the drivers seat of his car.

my dad sending me off to my last semester of college with 2 pomegranates and a jar of palestinian olive oil. my cousins wife coming up with new ways to make zaatar and cheese pastries. me and my grandma sitting on the floor and making waraq 3neb- my job was to separate the leaves so she could roll them easier. my mom sending me and my brother to school with eid cookies for my teachers and tasking us with delivering some to the neighbors. my aunt glaring at me and piling more food on my plate and then asking if i was still hungry (i wasnt). my mom always telling me to invite my friends and cousins over for dinner and asking me what they like to eat. my family getting my dad knafeh instead of cake for his birthday. the man who told me i made the "best fetteh in the western hemisphere".

the man in the shawarma shop who gave me my fries for free and baklava i didnt order because we spoke about being palestinian while he took my order. the person on tumblr who i bonded with because we are from the same palestinian city. the girl i met on campus who exclaimed "youre palestinian? me too!" because i was wearing my keffiyeh. the girl in my class that showed me the artwork about palestine her dad made and donated for fundraising. the couple in the grocery store who noticed my palestinian shirt and talked with me for 20 minutes and ended up being a family friend. the silly palestinian kids i tutored sighing in disappointment when i told them i was born in america because they were hoping that id have been born "somewhere cooler". my friends family who bought me dinner despite me being there by chance and having met me for the first time the day before.

the boys starting uncoordinated dabke lines in my high school's hallways. the songs about the longing and love for our land. the festivals and parties and gatherings where everything smells like shisha and oud. memories of waiting in the car for an hour as my parents talked at the doorway of their friends homes. my cousins and i showing up at each others homes with cake or fruit or games as if it was the first time we ever visited even though we always say "you dont have to".

kids stubbornly helping to clean and make tea after a meal while being told to go sit down because they are guests. the necklaces in the shape of our home countries. people hugging and laughing and acting as if theyve known each other for years because they come from the same city or know people with the same last name. the day i finally got to bully my friends into letting me pay the bill because i had a job and they were still students. my moms friend who calls us every time she's at the grocery store to see if we need something

palestinian people are so resilient and hardworking and charitable. they love their culture and their community and are so quick to share and welcome anyone in. everyday i am so thankful and proud to be part of such a warm and lovely culture

#my love letter to palestine and its culture #free palestine #for those who dont know: #thobe: traditional embroidered dress. theres a lot of meaning behind the designs and different styles are indicative of the region #tatreez: the embroidery style #waraq 3neb: stuffed grapeleaves #dabke: traditional dance. look up videos theyre quite fun #shisha: the stuff smoked in hookah #oud: popular perfume/cologne scent #tamriyeh: fried dough dessert #keffiyeh: traditional scarf #zaatar: spice mix of mostly thyme #fetteh: dish made with bread yogurt chickpeas and nuts #knafeh: dessert made of cheese and shredded filo dough #there is so much more i can add. i really could go on forever #mine #plomegrantalk

Historical and modern examples of the Intifada thobe. Israel banned the Palestinian flag during the first Intifada, so women would sew it into their dresses.

im sure its been said already but as the election draws near more and more liberals will come out of the woodwork to shame people with a conscience to give away their vote to the democrats for free. i'm already seeing posts saying "why aren't people more concerned about a trump presidency?" you want to know why? it's because people already know he's bad. everyone already knows what he is and what he's done and what he'll do. there's nothing to discuss. he's a racist despotic worm of a man. there's nothing else to say.

biden is currently president. the genocide is happening under his watch. he's the one funding isra*l and arming them; he's sidestepped congress more than once to give them weapons. by oct. 27, the biden administration already knew that "Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were legitimate military targets." the state department/biden have engaged in atrocity propaganda, cast doubt on the legitimacy of the death toll recorded by the gaza health ministry, and so on. the united states is currently in the process of trying to pin the "war in gaza" on netanyahu (see sen. schumer's speech) after months of backing blatant genocide as a means to act as if they're "doing something" about the genocide (Instead of, say, threatening to cut off all aid to israel with the condition that all hostilities in gaza, the west bank, and occupied jerusalem are halted immediately and permanently, allowing palestinians freedom to travel, allowing aid into gaza, etc etc etc.)

the long and short of it is that liberals view their own lives as being worth more than palestinians'. that's it. they'll vote for another 4 years of the guy ushering in genocide and supporting apartheid + settler colonialism because he isn't outright attacking them (despite various laws and rulings happening both at the supreme court level and at the local level all over the country that will endanger people). they'll settle for the illusion of safety and security and shame anyone with a conscience and accuse them of "supporting the republicans" when in an actual democracy you would be able to use your vote as leverage to extract concessions from those who want to be elected. that's how it's supposed to fucking work.

democrats are not owed people's vote. if biden loses, it will be biden's fault; it will be his campaign's fault; it will be the democrats' fault. trump is bad; the republicans are bad. we already know this. this is not an endorsement of either. but if democrats are too cowardly and feckless and servile to the motivations of the american empire and never do anything for their constituents then why the fuck should anyone vote for them. you want to get mad at someone, why don't you do something useful and stop worrying about team-sports with a purely selfish basis and start hounding the people in power who are supposed to serve you, the voter.

#i think i already said this and frankly idc #uspol #📁.zip #to me personally it's abhorrent and vile to tell palestinians 'biden is facilitating the murder of your people culture and history but you #still have to vote for him!!1' like how is that not unbelievably callous and ghoulish #frankly speaking. a lot of this 'you should be concerned about trump' is going to turn into #blaming palestinians and arabs and muslims and anyone remotely with a conscience for biden's loss #instead of doing something productive like pushing for people in power to do something they'll nitpick and belittle #and tell palestinians + arabs and muslims + everyone who understands that genocide is bad that they SHOULD #settle for a decrepit genocidal monstrous freak who is CURRENTLY facilitating genocide because #it makes THEM feel better and they aren't personally threatened (yet) by the guy currently in power #any and all 'you're not taking trump seriously' comments should be met with extreme skepticism #because i promise i PROMISE that the vast majority of people unhappy with biden are not going to turn around and vote for trump #and if they do? well guess what THAT'S BIDEN'S FAULT! nevermind the vote uncommitted campaign that was very successful and #will be replicated in the near future. but liberals only care about asthetics and superficial and not #about real material change which is why they'll dress up their callousness and racism in a 'you hate gay people if you dont vote for biden' #like this country is already going to shit we are rapidly descending into fascism and i dont see biden doing anything to even remotely #challenge it do you???? once agian. NOT an endorsement of the republican party but my GOD when the 'lesser evil' #is DOING the evil or normalizing the evil then you cannot settle for 'the lesser'! end of story.

There’s something so viscerally sad about Thistle devoting his whole life body and soul to the family who bought him and put him in a clown costume

#Every time you sit at the dinner table further down from the REAL family you push down the self-doubts. You belong. You belong.You earned it #You are worthy #and like he does! Or does he really… They love him but just how do they see him? #Does he have to play the luth in the corner of the room to be able to spend time with his baby nephew? Entertainer or advisor or brother? #Ehem #dungeon meshi #thistle #spoilers #dungeon meshi manga spoilers #I have a theory though that the jester costume is a false perception of how tallmen thought elves dressed. #So then bc a bunch of courts want an elf it became a ‘dress the elf up in their cultural attire!’ thing tm and jester outfits became a thin #A touch of elven inspiration and just a load of bs and bad tailoring decisions
