Dress:
Traditional kurdish shoes, called klashes, are worn by both men and women. Otherwise, men wear baggy (parachute like pants) pants with a matching jacket. Their colors are natural and usually dark in origin. Women wear long dresses with pants underneath that match. Many also choose to wear the hijab - a traditional Muslim head covering - because of their religious beliefs Women's clothing is more colorful and bold with intricate patterns involved.
Home:
Kurdish homes are no different than other homes in their region. Most are made of some sort of rock or concrete and are close to the ground. The harsh climate in this region make it hard for them to have portable homes. Otherwise, in the past Kurdish homes have been portable yurts, which are similar to tents, but have a hard bottom and are raised off of the ground.
Livelihood:
Traditional Kurds are also nomadic herders. They herd sheep and goats to be slaughtered and used for milk and cheese. Modern Kurds do not limit themselves in occupation and often have jobs similar to others whether it be shopkeepers, businesspeople, politicians, or military leaders. Women are still oppressed and often have typical gender roles.
