Arab Costume

Description

It’s not that the Arabian Peninsula is the only place on Earth with high temperatures and swirling sands: it’s just that variety is the spice of life. And much like the denizens of the Middle East once facilitated the trade of spices between Asia and Europe, we’re offering you the chance to get your own outfit inspired by some of the best warm-weather clothing the world has ever seen!

We don’t know if it’s the headscarf inspired by the traditional cotton keffiyeh or the lightweight tunic designed to keep the sun from getting you down, but this is one cool costume. And we hate to break it to you, but some simple garb like this is your best bet if you want to beat the heat. If you’re looking for something more elaborate, or you just read your Fahrenheit as Centigrade, we’d be happy to point you in the direction of some imitation-Scandinavian parkas or even some faux-Siberian fur coats. And there’s always those gimmicky personal air-conditioning systems, if you’ve got a few extra dinar to spend on batteries. Because you’re probably going to wear them out pretty quickly!

But look no further if you’re really in the market for a choice of dress that’s almost as refreshing as an oasis amid the arid dunes. We’ve got it right here! And there’s no need to make a special trip to the bazaar, either, unless you’re looking for a pair of sunglasses or a false beard to make it even easier to chill.
