fardi

Fardi refers to a type of traditional garment historically worn in parts of the Arabian Peninsula, particularly Yemen. It is typically a long, flowing robe, often made of cotton or linen, and can be worn by both men and women, though styles and embellishments may vary between genders and social classes. The fardi is characterized by its loose fit, providing comfort and modesty in the region's climate. It is usually unstitched or minimally stitched, draped around the body rather than tailored. Traditionally, the color of the fardi could indicate social status or occasion. While its prevalence may have shifted with modern clothing trends, the fardi remains a significant cultural artifact representing traditional Yemeni attire and a connection to heritage. It can still be observed in certain rural areas or during cultural events and celebrations.
