More info on Middle East clothing

Clothing and Fashion, Middle East
By: Karaminas, Vicki.
- Mixed influences have enriched and modernized the diverse cultures and produced a custom of dress that bis both progressive and yet still represents its traditional designs. 
- Fashion is adapted and chaged by new social orders, local climates and activites. 
-Men's attire generally differs within the gender more than women's whose modes of dress have been traditionally dictated by taste and political reform. 
- Structure and meaning of clothing caries across regions in design, fabric, shape and ornament.  
- They dress modestly due to old traditional views and to cover up from the hot sun, and dust.
-Male populations are normally seen in mid-calf length tunics that were belted at the waist.
-Turban headdresses were made up of a contunuous strip of narrow fabric. Turban sizes varied from small to large depending on social class. Some made the cloth ends as decoration using the silk fabric in weaves.
