Fashion in MALDIVES
Culture Name: Maldivian
Identification: The Maldives is one of the world's poorest developing countries. The main
natural resources are fisheries and a marine environment conducive to tourism. The other
constraints it faces are small and widely dispersed island communities, limited skilled human
resources, and rapid population growth.
Location and Geography: The Republic of Maldives is an archipelago consisting of twenty-six
coral atolls, in the northern Indian Ocean. The chain of islands extends 510 miles (820
kilometers), but occupies an area of just 116 square miles (300 square kilometers), roughly 1.5
times the size of Washington D.C. The closest neighbors are India and Sri Lanka. The capital is
Malé.
Climate: The climate is warm and tropical. Seasonal changes are determined by the two yearly
monsoons. The season of the northeast monsoon is characterized by dry, mild winds, and
generally extends from December to April. The southwest monsoon, although irregular,
extends from May until August and brings heavy rains and wind. The northern atolls are drier,
while the southern atolls are wetter. The humidity is fairly high throughout the year.
Linguistic Affiliation: Dhivehi, which is spoken in all parts of the country, is not spoken in any
other part of the world. It is considered an Indo-European language related to Singhala, the
2. language spoken in Sri Lanka. The alphabets and writing system are similar to Arabic. English is
the second language and is widely used in commerce and in many government schools.
Symbolism: The national flag is red with a large green rectangle in the center bearing a vertical
white crescent on the hoist side. The country is associated with the "maldive fish" (boiled sun-
dried tuna).
History and Ethnic Relations
Emergence of the Nation: The early settlers probably came before 500 B.C.E. , from Sri Lanka
and southern India. In the twelfth century, sailors from East Africa and Arab countries arrived.
Originally, Maldivians were Buddhists, but in the twelfth century Islam was proclaimed the
national religion.
Maldives has always been an independent political entity except when it was under Portuguese
control from 1558 to 1573. In 1887, the Maldives agreed to become a protectorate of the
British government, allowing the British to take responsibility for it defense and foreign
relations while maintaining for itself internal control. The first constitution was ratified by the
Sultan in 1932, and the sultanate became an elected rather than hereditary position.
National Identity: The Maldives regained full sovereignty in 1965 and joined the United Nations
that year. In 1968, the sultanate was abolished and the republic was declared. On 11 November
1968, the Republic of Maldives was created with an elected president. The country joined the
British Commonwealth in 1982.
Ethnic Relations: The population consists of a mix of people who trace their descent from Sri
Lanka, India, Arab countries, and Africa. Because of religious and linguistic homogeneity, there
is stability and unity.
Food and Economy
3. Food in Daily Life: Rice and fish are the staple foods. Fish is the most important source of
protein in the average diet. Very few vegetables are eaten. Betel leaf with arecanut, cloves, and
lime, known as foh, is chewed after meals. Old people smoke guduguda, an elongated pipe that
goes through a trough of water. Most food served in tourist resorts is imported.
Food Customs at Ceremonial Occasions: Meat other than pork is eaten only on special
occasions. Alcohol is not permitted except in tourist resorts. The local brew, raa , is a sweet
toddy made from the crown of the coconut palm.
Basic Economy: All the fish that is consumed locally is from the domestic economy. Basic food
commodities such as rice, sugar, and flour are imported. There are over seventy resort islands
near the capital.
Traditional Costumes In Maldives – Going Native
Maldives garments are an image of the island's way of life, which chooses the
clothing regulation for the two men and ladies in the Maldives. Maldives is a gathering of great
islands sprinkled on the focal point of Indian Ocean. Ladies should keep their thighs and
shoulders secured. Regardless of the possibility that they are wearing shorts and 75%, yet the
dress should cover their thighs and shoulders. Maldivian customary ensembles are called
"LIBAS". The LIBAS utilize nowadays for a few events either in neighborhood or in resort. Hand
line sewed with gold, and has silver neck area. Gold jewelry which engraved national image
"Coconut Palm" and "Maldives" word composed on it.
The island country has had a long and brilliant history, and keeping in mind that the nearby
culture is a mix of the traditions and conventions of workers from nations, for example, India,
Sri Lanka and Arabia, it figures out how to be one of a kind and particular from its individual
segments. Sightseers inspired by adapting more about the neighborhood culture need to look
no more distant than the island's conventional outfits.
The conventional ensembles of Maldives are very basic. Men wear sarongs (a length of dress
wrapped around the midsection) with a since quite a while ago sleeved shirt, which is
constantly white. Cotton is the favored texture because of the island's tropical climate.
The customary dress for ladies is called libaas. The ensemble, which looks like a dress, is

decorated with gold or silver shaded strings, and the best ones are hand sewed.
Notwithstanding looking decent the ensembles make phenomenal keepsakes.
4. Nonnatives can likewise take in more about neighborhood culture by watching exhibitions of

remaining at the Anantara Dhigu Maldives. The Maldives resort is arranged on Dhigufinolhu
Island and has a huge number of offices for different water games, for example, surfing,
parasailing and kite surfing. It additionally has a heavenly spa for visitors who might lean
toward not so much movement but rather more unwinding.
Maldives Clothing, Day Wear
For ladies,girls even those with kids, it's truly straightforward. they'll spend their
days outside, at the shoreline, at the shoreline bar, at the bar taking a gander at the shoreline
and at the shoreline pondering the bar. For these shifted exercises, they'll have to pack a few
5. arrangements of swimwear. They can flush them at night and they'll dry by the morning,
however fundamentally they take no less than three distinct arrangements of sun tan wear!
They'll likewise utilize a couple of sets of shorts, three quarter length pants, a sarong, perhaps
some sun dresses or skirts and some shirts with long sleeves and a cap to snorkel as they can in
any case get sunburn submerged!
Maldives Clothing, Night Wear
They are probably don’t wear a cardigan or shrug at night as the temperatures
are still warm – yet in the event that they're anything like Charley then they take one of each
equitable in the event that they'd jump at the chance to wear it.
Again another simple one, the sundresses/skirts, shirts and edited pants above will be all that
anyone could need for when they have their suppers at eateries or chilax (that is unwinding and
chilling) at the bar at night. There's rarely a clothing standard in the Maldives, aside from a
couple of resorts like Conrad Hilton who need to ruin everybody's laid back way to deal with
attire with a prerequisite for pants and not shorts at a few restaurants!
Maldives Clothing, Excursion Wear
Two-pieces are maybe not as much as supportive when they're big game angling
or on a dusk journey, so this is the place they go in trimmed pants, since a long time ago
sleeved/shirts and vest tops prove to be useful.
Maldives Clothing, Occasional Rain Wear
Yes people, from time to time it gets muggy and downpours which is likewise
warm! On the off chance that they're scuba jumping this won't trouble them as they won't
know!
However, for whatever remains of the land warm blooded creatures, they'll be satisfied to
realize that most resorts have golf umbrellas for they to utilize when hurrying to the bar or
eatery.
Other than that, it's as yet not cool so they needn't bother with a coat; rather bring a
comfortable cardigan with they just on the off chance that the breeze grabs and if like Charley
they feel the chilly at 28 degrees Celsius.
Maldives Clothing, Footwear
6. The Maldives is basically no news, no shoes and Soneva Gili go so far as to give
they a couple of flip failures upon entry!
In the principle, they'll require two or three sets of flip slumps, a couple of shoes and a couple
of level shoes of picking.
Charley took favor high obeyed shoes to the Maldives the first occasion when we went and
never wore them once. In the event that they intend to boogie the night away and think they'll
wear great shoes, put it all on the line; if not, spare the additional space for sun tan moisturizer!
More or less, swimwear, edited pants, shorts, shirts/vest tops, sundresses/skirts and the odd
cardie.
