Business_Man Posted August 14, 2003 Why do some young somali women only wear diraac for weddings and western clothes on other ocassions?. Why not wear Diraac on outings such as going to the shopping mall. I find diraac sexy and I think our fellow somali sisters should wear it on other ocassions apart from weddings. :cool: Would love to hear your comments regarding this topic. Sorry if it is to vapid but thats all I can add right now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Continental,you voiced similar thoughts I had on Diraac.I also find it extremely SEXY but I think it should be worn at home or among Somalis only.

Ladiif Posted August 14, 2003 I think it should be outlawed(is this a word) to wear outside at all. At home, I'm all for it, Dirac and uunsi, waaba jano 1/2keed!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miles-militis Posted August 14, 2003 I do agree that Dirac (Diric or Diraac) depending your locale is sexy, should be confined to the home, and not even worn to the occasional drop-ins to the neighbouring houses as it is in my opinion in the same category as the Macawis/Hoos Gunti (the Somali kilt). I would not want to see blokes wearing Macawis on the train/bus in the winter or summer. However, if the ladies are quite fond of the garment in itself, or its traditional value and sense of cultural and nationalist fervour, then I reckon it would be nice to be worn with a nice Googarad (the Jibouti style), or Xamaalad (the Hargeysa style), Shalamad/Malkhamad/Fastaleeti (the Bosaso style), leather sandals – not dusty flip flops- (the Mogadishu style), and with traditional Somali queen’s walk and style – the sling of the hand and swivel of the joints in all places (the 60s style). The “Uunsi” I must admit is one of the unique aphrodisiacs in our culture though young ladies of the 21st century as I have learnt do not quite see the fascination with it by men of old. Where do the young generation (men) stand on that I wonder? A question I have been meaning to ask the Somali queens has to do with colour co-ordination, religious sisters in particular, well, perhaps I would table that questions another day. Nice topic. Keep it up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nefertiti Posted August 14, 2003 I tell you why Dirac shouldn't be worn outside the house BECAUSE IT IS TOO DAMN COLD!!!!! You try to wear it here in the UK where the temperature in the winter goes way below 0 degrees at times. Also it is extremely impractical. Ever tried to run for a bus wearing that piece of garment AND when its raining? Impossible. Don't get me wrong, I am all up for dirac dressing, as long as it is worn on the appropriate occassion, i.e. @ home or in a wedding. To all the brothers who find Dirac sexy, why don't you wear MACAWEES? I find that SUCH a MAYOR turn-on!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valenteenah. Posted August 14, 2003 I luv diruucda. Beautiful, colourful and they make you feel 100% elegant. They are great for weddings but outside on normal errands? Not very practical as nefertiti said. Lucky, Ur right, they do cause too much unwanted attention in public. Especially since diracu looks incomplete without dahab to go with it, and you definitely can't wear that outside (unless you would like to be mugged). Gediid, Don't worry, macawiistu is sexy, especially if you combine it with a cimaamad. Ooooh! *eyes glaze over* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
