Saudis like to wear a wide white robe and even a piece of white cloth on their heads. Why?

It is the image of Arabs to wear robes, cloaks and headscarves on headscarves. Arabian robes are mostly white, with wide sleeves. They are simple in workmanship and have no hierarchy. It is not only a casual dress for ordinary people, but also a dress for dignitaries. The texture of the material depends on the season and the owner's economic conditions, including cotton, yarn, wool and nylon. Relaxation and comfort are the characteristics of Arabic robes, but there are subtle differences in workmanship and decoration in different regions; For example, Saudis have long sleeves, high collars and linings. Sultan's robes are collarless, with large breasts and sleeves. They are cylindrical, ankle-long, with a pocket in front and a waist pocket on the side, which can be worn alternately on both sides. Tuiman's robes are collarless, with a cord spike about 30 cm long hanging from the chest at the neckline, and a calyx-shaped opening at the bottom of the spike, where perfume can be sprayed and spices can be placed. Besides white, the colors of Arabic robes are dark blue, dark gray, dark brown and black. Arab underwear varies from region to region. Tops are mostly striped gowns and white undershirts, and many people don't wear underwear in summer. The lower body is dressed strangely. In Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates and other countries, men wear skirts and women wear pants. Poor people in tribes or remote areas only use a piece of cloth around their lower bodies. Men in Libya, Tunisia and other countries like to wear baggy knickerbockers. Because Arab men wear robes all year round, there is not much chance to reveal the style and color of underwear. With the development of society, Arab countries have been impacted by western culture, but the traditional white robe has not been left out in the cold, and it is still quite popular. Even fashionable young people and civil servants wear suits and jeans to work, and they still change into big robes when they go home. It is not uncommon for heads of state and senior officials to attend banquets and celebrations in big dresses. Some people combine foreign cultures, wear suits outside their robes, or wear robes outside their suits, which is unique. Arab robes have been enduring for thousands of years, but they have irreplaceable advantages for Arabs living in hot and rainy areas. Life practice has proved that the big robe has more advantages of heat resistance and heat preservation than other styles of clothing. Whether it is white or other colors, while absorbing external heat, a ventilation duct is formed inside, and the air circulates from bottom to top, just like a chimney, which makes people feel cool. In the eyes of Arabs, cloaks are festive costumes, and men wear cloaks on their robes, which looks radiant and manly. Cloaks come in many colors and different qualities. For example, in the cloak market in Kuwait, men's and women's transparent tulle cloaks are worn in summer and wool, camel hair and woolen cloaks are worn in winter; There are ordinary cloaks with good quality and low price worn by civilians, as well as luxurious cloaks with fine workmanship and gold and silver silk worn by members of the royal family and the rich. The Arabic headscarf is also a product of desert environment, which plays the role of a hat, protecting against sun in summer and keeping warm in winter. This headscarf is a piece of cloth. Put it on your head and fix it with a headband. Its color is mostly white, and there are other colors. The thickness of fabrics varies, depending on seasons and conditions. The headband is a ring made of camel hair, mostly black and occasionally white, with different thicknesses. Young people like a thick hair band and a ribbon to make them look smart and handsome.
