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

Headwear is another important aspect of Kurdish clothing for both men and women. Men often wear turbans or caps that vary by region and tribe. The style of wrapping a turban can indicate age, social status, or local tradition. For women, headscarves are often colorful and decorated, forming an essential part of the outfit. These head coverings are not only cultural symbols but also expressions of personal taste.
