The Baati Somali and Dirac Traditional Fashion Dress Culture of Somalia.

The baati is a classic cotton Somali heritage dress that often costs less than $20. It is a sort of a house dress that is designed in the spirit of a one-size-fits-all utilitarianism. The baati somali fashion conjures elegance and refinement because of the self-possession of the women who wear it, and because of the baati’s inherent versatility, the way its fluid, wide-sleeved silhouette flips from lounge wear-like to dressed up depending on how it’s styled.
