We talk about clothes here, from threads to colorful skirts. But hold on, we make no claims about fashion! In Persian, clothes often have deeper meanings than just

their appearance.
Just imagine the power of a simple hat! It’s not just a fashion statement or a shield from the sun. In Persian, “hold on to your hat” means much more. It indicates survival, representing your assets, status, and wealth. Losing your hat could mean losing everything you hold dear. So, the next time you see this phrase, remember it’s not just about style. It’s also about safeguarding what belongs to you!
And skirts! These garments are woven into the fabric of everyday life. In Persian culture, skirts represent so much more than just clothing. When something or someone “gets caught in your skirt,” you should get rid of them as soon as possible because they’re putting you in a problem that you didn’t create, and responsibility and blame can easily be “thrown into your lap,” or rather, your skirt! In this context, the skirt represents unwanted burdens or obligations. You’re being pulled into a problem, and the best thing to do is to distance yourself from it as soon as possible. Fascinating, right?
