Threads of Identity: The Meaning, Diversity, and Cultural Soul of Kurdish Clothing

Color plays a significant role in Kurdish women’s clothing and carries symbolic meanings. Bright colors such as red, green, yellow, and blue are commonly used and represent joy, nature, life, and hope. Darker colors may be worn during periods of mourning or in more formal contexts. The combination of colors is often chosen carefully to create harmony and visual impact. These color choices reflect an emotional and spiritual connection to life and the environment.
