i have a few kva tops that look like "kurtas" (i think).

we need persian bro number 2 to chime in

I wish the persian bros would chime in. The Koran bros and the Persian bros only chime in for self-hatred not to spread their awesome ethnic wear.

The middle eastern garb is very popular these days, no thanks to the ace fashion sense of Colonel Gaddafi.
But wearing middle eastern garb is always with mixed reactions because some find it stylish and other find it bizarre. I always wear middle eastern garb after I tell my wife to wear a niqab.

Traditional Persian clothes is very cool and looks like pajamas. My wife is Persian and she tells me the word pajama comes from Farsi for leg-coat.

I really want to wear a khafiyeh as well as part of my summer repetoire, but I am afraid for the consequences. We need the Persian bros here to chime in and convince people how to carry it off.

Big Mac brand, to represent JC penney, and my traditional dinner, and he was right! Who the **** knew you could cut vegetables with a sharp piece of metal! Hard to believe there'd be any low self esteemed motherfuckers on the internet who'd troll style-based forums because they're **** and don't even try at life! Trolling is the antidote to suicide!

it made me laugh though. but seriously, do you dare to venture out of doors in traditional ethnic clothes? This evening, my wife wore a niqab and an abaya. the tight fitting type, black but the abaya is so tight fitting that it hid everything but revealed everything. she has the shape tall and slim to carry it off though. we got stares, but not the fear and loathing type. there is something sexy and mysterious about a woman in a niqab especially when it is obvious what lies beneath is God's great gift to all men. Even if I am not a believer and I am not pious. Niqabs can be made stylish and sexy too. As a guy I was too cowardly to wear anything, but I think my Persian bros here will agree with me because they too shun them.
