Defiant Saudi Women Stun Onlookers by Wearing Western Clothes in Public 👗

Defiant Saudi Arabian women have stunned onlookers on the streets of Riyadh by walking around without wearing the customary body-shrouding garments. Despite the risk of provoking arch-conservatives, many women are now leaving their cloaks open in the front or wear them in bright colours. Mashael al-Jaloud has taken the cultural rebellion a step further — she stopped wearing the robe altogether. The 33-year-old human resources specialist strolled through a mall in central Riyadh last week wearing nothing but a burnt orange top over baggy trousers. In the crowd, there were audible gasps and arched eyebrows. Women veiled head-to-toe stared askance. Some mistook her for a celebrity. Last year, de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman hinted during an interview with CBS that the dress code may be relaxed, saying the robe was not mandatory in Islam.
