There is evidence of face veils also being popular among the middle and upper classes in medieval Europe. There are some truly amazing artwork from the 11th and 12th centuries depicting this. It is an accepted hypothesis that face veils were usually worn only when venturing out side the home, but was not a mandatory addition. Covering the head and hair was mandatory for all classes, but how much was covered went back and forth through the years. Covering the neck was often more about fashion than modesty, but doing so was considered admirably pious.
Excellent video, I am curious on if clothing varied in any way between different religions in the arab world. As someone who is Lebanese, I am loving your channel, thank you for sharing these videos!
Loved the video so much, however i feel like the last shots were either too dark or way too close to tell what i was looking at. I really couldn’t see the garment as a whole
I'm fascinated simply for the similarities between regionally Arabic garb and Ottoman Turkish garb in the era; the Turks had more layers than, for example, the Safavid (Persian), adding a zıbın (undershirt) over the gömlek (shift). Much of my garb is silk or silk/cotton blend, but I definitely have a fair amount of cotton sateen outerwear (a good sateen will look and feel a bit like real silk, but far more affordable) and linen undergarments lol. For what it's worth, the long underpants are called don (say it like 'moan') in relation to Turkish garb; the actual outer trousers are salvar or caksir (my spelling...I apologize), I believe.
Being ethnically a Jewish Moroccan, even thought we're technically part of the Arab world, I couldn't relate to this at all. Women never used to dress like this, especially when you weren't a Muslim (jews were prevalent in Moroccan society back then). In fact, my Berber grandmother never covered her head, she only adorned her hair with jewels and a "tazra". And if women were to cover their hair in my family, they would only put on a loose fitting "mantone". In award, no type of clothing showed in this video subordinates to what Moroccans used to wear.
(as the other person said maghrebi tradition is different that arabian peninsula) but also how far does your reference goes back because I doubt your grand mother lived during the medieval arabian world (I'm not being sarcastic), maybe there was a time where this kind of clothing was prevalent in morocco ? I'm actually curious if do have an answer, it's quite interesting to see if there was an evolution or if the arabian clothing style never made it so far
@@barbaroslar2235 I bet I’ve been to more Countries other than my Own than U… 🤦🏻♂️😂, And It’s like taking a trip back 300-400 years when U go to a Arab Country.. Especially in the way Women are treated and Old Customs.. And that is waaaay different then what people see in Dubai or any other Big City..🤷🏻♂️
@@hajikilla91 women in your country are so free on only fan, really "modern". Women in your country so cheap and low, that man in your country treated them like prostitute. If wear more clothes is medieval, then wearing less cloth is primitive.
Hmn I doubt you know many medaevil women from any culture but the Islamic women I know dress their best to please themselves regardless of their men. I'm white Welsh by the way.

well the turks were heavily influenced by the arabs and the persians. you could say the turks conquered the arabs and the persians politically, but the arabs and the persians conquered the turks culturally. If you were to go back to turkey just 100 years ago, you would see that it resembled the east much much more than it does today. It wasn’t until mustafa kamal ataturk came along and westernized the country. He changed the turkish writing script from the arabic script to latin, abolished the caliphate, took out arabic and persian words out of the turkish language, banned the hijab, etc

Would you say that the niqab (full face) is more cultural than religious?
Yes I would say so
Nice 👍
Thanks!
Weren't some islamic armours made off or were faced with silk?

Maghrebi tradition is prolly different from the tradition in the Arabian Peninsula,Iraq and the AL-Shaam region
@@kucingcat8687 yess, exactly.

How are you Jewish and Berber at the same time? I thought Moroccan Jews are Sephardic and don’t mix with gentiles?
So basically nothing has changed in almost 1000 years???🤦🏻♂️🤷🏼♂️😩
So what ? That’s good
they change, only you don't get the news, go out your country and see yourself.
it's good that they stick to their own traditional culture, rather than just wearing the same generic "modern" clothing like in the west

Wow, 7 and a half minutes of a discussion about women's clothing, yet maybe 15 seconds of an actual woman in the video....
They dressed however their men told them to.
Hmn I doubt you know many medaevil women from any culture but the Islamic women I know dress their best to please themselves regardless of their men. I'm white Welsh by the way.
