Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Where to buy? I’m not living in the Middle East
The internet? Just find a website that ships in your country. Hopefully one with a return policy, in case you don't like what shows up.
What to search for? How are these things called?
According to @guyrocket@kbin.social, one type is called a kaftan. A quick search yielded at least a dozen different sites, like Temu or kafko.
Full disclosure, I have never worn any of these, nor have a shopped for these or even visited those sites before. I just wanted to help and did a quick search.
I come from hot, humid climates. What we usually wore were materials like linen. Since they were wetter environments, shorts and shirts reigned supreme. Longer clothing loses the thermodynamic benefits when wet.
