Traditional Costumes

The costumes and garments worn by Kuwaitis today show the difference between the past and the present. Nowadays, both men and women wear western-style clothing. These outfits are no longer limited to foreign workers in Kuwait.

Kuwaitis, on the other hand, understand the significance of preserving their national customs as a symbol of national identity. As a result, men prefer to dress in Kuwaiti traditional clothing, which is more comfortable than western clothing. It has also been observed that Kuwaiti women prefer to wear Western clothing where they can enjoy a wide variety of women's costumes. However, Kuwaiti women maintained their traditional costumes by wearing long dresses, veils, and cloaks.

This variation reflects personal preference, current fashion, and traditions. When a Kuwaiti woman goes to work, she usually dresses in western attire. She dresses traditionally when she returns home and visits her neighbors and relatives. When women reach a certain age, they may choose to dress in traditional attire.
