Overview

Under this modernising dynasty, dress moved between tradition and Western and Turkish styles.

Key garments and style

The army and officials adopted Western uniforms and frock coats with the red tarboosh; the urban elite moved towards Western dress, while most people still wore the long galabeya and, for women, a covering garment.

Transition

In modern Egypt after 1882, Western dress spread further, coexisting with the traditional galabeya.
