I-

You seem like a hip and happening dude that’s totally down with counterculture values. You should definitely start dressing in a way that expresses your differences. Use this coming Halloween as a test run for some new threads. Take a good look at this stellar Red Dashiki Shirt. It’s casual, it’s colorful, it’s a perfect start or finish for a classic hippie or a funky hipster outfit! This loose-fitting pullover shirt will rest comfortably on your shoulders like a sunset hanging on the horizon. The various beautiful patterns will have everyone saying ‘far out’ when you enter the party scene.

Grab a gnarly headband and some awesome shades and you’ll be ready to spread good vibes everywhere you go. Peace and love, man. That’s what it’s all about! If you think so too then really show it by going out for Halloween wearing this Red Dashiki Shirt. You’ll be the hippest hippie on the scene!

What
Uh no
I do not have the energy for this lord

What in the culture appropriation f!ck is this-

[line123462]

isnt this just a shirt, is this a cultural thing I dont know because I legit just thought it was a colourful shirt like I get its an African style. but, its a shirt, its not even a costume

[anon93806337]

This is so stupid like wtf. It’s part of CULTURE. And you are going to make it into a HALLOWEEN costume??? What??? Why???

[Bonswayout]

that’s so disrespectful

[phlegmatic]

Good point but it’s the shirt’s cultural background that seems like the problem.

[GlitterFist]

Also since when is this a “hippie” piece of clothing? Like why not sell a tasseled vest or something instead of something on the razor-edge of blackface. Because you all KNOW that that is what at least 60% of the people who buy this costume will actually use it for.

[phlegmatic]

I can’t even understand why or who thought it would be a good idea to make this a costume.

Huh- I-

Why is this a thing?!

It’s like wearing a saree or a kimono to Halloween party. I- I can’t- I seriously cannot-

Cultural tradition be like -

[TheDancingFryer]

yeah wtf-

I’m sorry but if you want to wear that as appreciation that’s fine but wearing it on halloween as a accessory/flashy clothing garment is so stupid-

[ShanniiWrites]

Yeah it’s like a cultural shirt used in religious stuff too in some places. Idek where the handlebar moustache came from xD

it’s a cultural item not a “flashy piece of clothing”

When you’re casually looking for hot back guys in dashikis for a character you’re working on and this is one of the first results on Google

[ShanniiWrites]

But I found what I needed

[phlegmatic]

Dude I looked up what a kimono robe is knowing it’s in Japanese culture and one of the first pictures were a while girl showing it off and it I clicked out to find out it’s something they’re selling as an “everyday wear”.

It’s all bull
