The Jordanian shemagh (sometimes spelled shmagh or shmag), is a traditional Arab headscarf similar to the keffiyeh with a distinctive red-and-white checkered pattern that holds special cultural and historical significance in Jordan and the Arab region.

Cultural background
1.Origin and function: shemagh originated in the Arabian Peninsula and is mainly used to protect the head and face from the effects of sand, dust and hot sun. Similar to the keffiyeh, the shemagh was an important costume for nomadic people, adapting to the harsh desert environment.

2.Color and pattern: The most representative Jordanian shemagh is usually a red and white pattern. The red and white headscarf is common in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other places. Red shemagh pattern usually symbolize courage, strength and fighting spirit, while white represents peace and purity.

3.Symbolism: In Jordan, the shemagh is not only a functional piece of clothing, it also symbolizes Jordanian national identity. In particular, the red-and-white shemagh is often associated with the Hashemite dynasty of Jordan and has deep ethnic and tribal traditions. It symbolizes loyalty, courage and respect and is an important symbol of Jordanian male identity.

4.King and the Army: King Abdullah II of Jordan and officers of the Jordanian Armed Forces often wear the red and white shemagh on important occasions, making it a symbol of national honor and status for Jordan.

Way of wearing
1.Traditional headscarf: The shemagh is usually folded into a triangle that covers the head and is tied behind the neck. This way of wearing not only protects the wearer from the sun and wind and sand, but also keeps their appearance clean and tidy.

2.Decoration and fashion: In modern times, the shemagh appears not only as a traditional dress, but also as a decorative scarf or cape, especially in the cold winter months. Many young people and fashionistas show shemagh in combination with modern fashion through different ways of matching.

Fashion and global culture
Although shemagh has deep cultural roots in the Middle Eastern country, it, like keffiyeh, has gradually gone global and been accepted by the Western fashion world. Many brands and designers incorporate it into their fashion designs, making it a fashion accessory through variations in different materials and colors. However, this process of fashion has also led to controversy over the dilution of its cultural significance.
