Costumes

The rubatab tribe, is one of the tribes in Sudan that shows respect for each other even when we say hello. We have a special costume for women and men. The women only wear it when a girl is twelve or fifteen years old. The men must wear jalabiya at any age it doesn’t have to be any special age. We wear it in the wedding, shop, and engagement.
The women wear toub, it is the style and it is similar to many other northern Sudanese people, which is one piece of gently, bright colored cloth that is wrapped around the entire body and it covers the hair. when people in my country are getting married and they always have to wear it, for the other men not to look at her body, and also she has to cover her head and hair, because her husband is the only one who can see her hair, but no one else only for girls or women. That is our culture and rules of dressing.
The men wear a jalabiya is traditional whit full- length long sleeved gown that men wear with trousers underneath we are young ladies when you go shopping you need to wear it in order for guys not to look at your hair and feet. If you disappointed your family by not doing that you could get beaten and not be able to go out to your friends.
Finally the engagement in Sudan is different. People will have to watch you dance with this tuop on, and this kind of tuop has to be an expensive one than the wedding tuob. For instance your family has to go with you to the mall to choose the custom for you, because you might not like it.
Every country has a special costume to wear. Either for wedding or to express the meaning of something, also to respect the country tradition and that is what we do in my country, we wear tuop to represent the cultures and show some respect.
