TRADITIONAL OR NOT

Ramz —

A general questions for the guys here. Do most guys prefer their wives to dress traditionally. Like Sari or shalwaar kameez or would they rather their wives wear jeans, skirts, dresses. Or are most guys not fussed?

Another old wives tale that I heard from mum is that men dont like girls who wear "english clothes". :roll:

And how many guys here dress traditionally and how often?

At the time of the Prophet Muhammed ﷺ they probably were in fashion and maybe after that too, my history is no good.

True.

The Prophet wore the clothes worn by the people in that culture.

They became sunnah becuse he wore them.

The Prophet ﷺ lived a simple life. But he was a trendsetter. Others followed him, and still do. What he liked became like by others.

some of mine are just above knee

some are really long

depends on outfit

sometimes wear kameez over jeans, thats usually like a kaftan

traditional always at home- and decent, dnt know when will have visitors

non traditional out of home, thats kinda standard, and all relatives and family accept that.

but if wear jeans and top, usually wear chaadhar with it

I love the traditional get up…I love the accessories that go with it I love wearing matching bangles, jumke (asian earings) and the dupatta (chiffon scarf).

I think Asian girls suit asian clothes. If I was getting dressed up for an occasion I'd automatically reach for an asian suit.

I think guys should wear Asian clothes a bit more often...At least on Fridays or something.

As a child I’ve had it drummed into me to wear Asian clothes cos they’re not as decent as English clothes…the first thing I’d do when I’d get home from school was change out of my school uniform.

And with Asian clothes, even if the kameez is tight a duppatta covers well.

80% of the tight I wear Asian clothes at home…and when dads gone abroad and there's ony girls at home I wear jeans...

I too am always non traditional outside the home.

Wasalaam

Got nothing against them, but its easier to slip into western clothes in the morning even before the brain has fully woken up.

MedI'm just gonna have a black sherwani inshaALLAH.I aint really into fashion but I like to look good in thobe. What looks wicked is wearing a white thobe and on top wearing a black sherwani. Its simple but mashaALLAH looks smart.

But normally Im in white thobe and black waistcoat. Simplicity for men is best.

nah, u know wot wud look cool: a white thobe with a black amamah. 8)

I usually tend to wear shalwaar kameez. I am not into glittery or flashy clothes, or ones that are brighly coloured. And I'd never wear a sari!
