Yemen has some brilliant pieces of clothing; some of them are still in use while others are almost completely forgotten.Futa is a wrap-around male skirt. It is an informal type of clothing. Futa is also used mostly by people from the North. Another kind of futa is called "ma'wazz". Ma'wazz can be worn at the formal occasions, like weddings etc. Futa and ma'wazz are usually handmade. They can be of any color and pattern (striped, checkered and so on). These garments are rather comfortable and convenient to wear that's why they are popular among Yemeni men.
