JORDAN TRADETIONAL

CLOTHES
 Traditional Jordanian Men’s Clothing

Most Jordanian clothes for men wear a long-sleeved one

piece robe that covers the whole body called
a (dishdashah) or thoub. In summertime, the (dishdashah) is
of white cotton to reflect sunlight. In the winter, darker,
heavier fabrics keep the wearer warmer.
Along with the (dishdashah) men also wear a head cover
consisting three pieces. The bottom piece of this head
covering – the thagiyah – is a white cap. Sometimes it has
holes to hold the hair in place. On top of the thagiyah is a
scarf-like headcover that comes in two types. It’s either a
light, white headcover – the gutrah – which people wear in
summer. During winter, Jordanians switch to a heavy red
and white checkered head covering –
the shumag or keffiyeh.
Jordanian Women’s Clothing
 Traditional women’s clothing in Jordan is quite
unique. The most traditional clothing has along
rectangular opening slit or decorative panel on the
front of the dresses. Women wear handmade
embroidered dresses sometimes with a hijab in
colors of black and red, as well as incorporation
of gold at times. However, as we mentioned
before, this varies throughout the regions of
Jordan.

 Costumes in northern Jordan are called shirsh .

They are usually the same length all around with
long, tight sleeves and a low, embroidered
neckline. The hem and the sides of the costume
usually contain intricate embroideries with
beautiful designs.
