What is djellaba?

The djellaba is a traditional North African garment that is typically worn by both men and women. It is a long, loose-fitting robe with long sleeves that is often made from cotton or wool. The djellaba is commonly worn in countries such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya.

Men's djellabas are typically longer and more oversized, while women's djellabas may be more fitted or decorated with embroidery or embellishments. The garment is often worn over other clothing as a form of modesty or protection from the elements.

The djellaba is often worn for special occasions, such as weddings or religious ceremonies, but it is also commonly worn as everyday attire. It is a symbol of cultural identity and heritage in North African countries. Some modern interpretations of the djellaba include variations in fabric, color, and design to make it more fashionable and appealing to a younger generation.
