I come to understand Somali fashion, specially the men, I was going through the market and I notice that every Somali man is wearing a long sleeved shirt with stripes or patterns, and a big hand taylored pants, more like dark or gray color and they don't tuck in their shirts, even though this long sleeved shirts are made to be tucked in. Almost 80% of men are wearing this, the other 20% are wearing a combinations of Khamis, Macawis, koofiya or jeans.

Somalis hardly wear one color solid short sleeved shirts, less 1% wear solid color T-shirts.

Yea I noticed that too... Or wear pants with dacas. Waa caadi, when the general pop goes right we go left.

" I notice that every Somali man is wearing a long sleeved shirt with stripes or patterns, and a big hand taylored pants" LMFAO

50 years from now, someone is going to pretend like this fashion we have now everywhere in the Somali community is some new, edgy fashion.

they are proberly going to dub it something 'retro' and sell the pants for couple of thousand each. (with some some sign next to it that goes: comes with dacas)

Horta I know them as parachute trousers kinda like mcHammer - "can't touch this"
This is a prime example (especially the guy on the left - ahmed yusuf for those of you who don't know him):

Horta why somalis dont stick to one colour, and why do they wear screaming colours like green and yellow....ta labaad maxa oo diidey iney cagahan jidhfaha waaweyn iney kariim marsadan.Seriously if you gonna wear sandals take care of ur feet first..ish

Somali fashion is better here in the UK than the US/canada.
