A Kuffiyeh is Cool!

cameron diaz wearing a kuffiyeh

A Kuffiyeh, Shmagh or Hatta is a traditional Arabian headdress and has been for a very long time!
With the changing world of fashion, the Kuffiyeh has become integrated in trends and fashions and is now part of the cool attire that youngsters like to wear.
Celebrities have also shown interest in the Kuffiyeh! Stars like Cameron Diaz, Colin Farrell and Shia Labeouf have been spotted wearing them in different colors.

A Kuffiyeh is Cool!

Let's face it, a Kuffiyeh looks good around the neck and keeps you warm when it's cold!
What do you think of the Kuffiyeh? Cool or lame?

Have you heard about the Rachel Ray Dunkin’ Donuts ad which was pulled because she was wearing something that slightly resembled a Kuffiyeh? Now, that's Lame!

    i hv the original palestenian 7atta and another khuffeyieh which look exactly alike
    a relly like to wear it and lik the fact that its in fashino but as a palestenian,seeing europeans making sum type of a fashion statement is enoying..they dnt no the true meaning of it and its history .
    anyways i enjoy wearing my 7atta weither wearing it to resemble and represent my country or wear it 4fashion cuz it looks cool both ways
    7atta 4 life

    and watever happens with rachel ray is relly silly .they think shes a tourorist jus cuz she wore it on a dunkin donughts ad,anyways im not shocked from those brainless ppl cuz i no that dunkin donughts r jews -meaning they r BRAINLESS ppl ,i wudnt hv expected them to do anythin other than that..makes me sick


    palestine and khuffeiyah 4 life :D

    Why would someone wear this?

    Not cute at all. What's next, a turban?

    Um brittany the turban was a trend for women fashion in summer '06
    it was all over vogue and bazzar
    so I don think it will be in for a while

    I think this trend is okay
    but it doesnt suit me!

    Dear areej,
    In Jordan you can find a Shmagh or Kuffiyeh easily.
    Try going downtown Amman and you'll sure find the red and black ones.

  1. Zaid | August 23, 2008 2:16 AM

    lets not fight on a friendly website :P ili besta7i "yedhar" bi 7atta. go ahead and be too scared to represent ur own culture we dont need you. o palestinian and proud relax bardo b il pride.. be cool.. i love the hatta ..

    to areej:

    you can find all sorts of colours in the suvineer shops downtown .. including pink and green.

    i love the hatta it cool regardless .. britney i think a hatta is alot better looking than a scotch skirt :P anyway.. arab-american comedian Maysoon Zayid is always wearing nice hatta designs such as skirts and tops ..
    google pics of her ull see what i mean.

    great article thank you Waleg

    Dear anonymous,
    I really am not sure where you can get a Kuffiyeh in Lebanon, but here's a suggestion:
    You can get one online at Hot Topic. Search for Fuchsia and Black Heart Scarf or Black and Pink Neckerchief.
