An izaar is a lower garment typically worn by men in United Arab Emirates, Somalia, Djibouti, Indonesia, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and other parts of East Africa. It is also commonly worn by Arabs at home.
It is similar to a kilt, except it is lighter and thinner. It is usually striped or patterned with bold colours (often with rectangular shapes), but it can also be found plain. An izaar is usually folded around the lower body, then wrapped tightly around the waist.
