Fashion
All Christians and most Muslims who live in the cities wear European style clothes. In the countryside, women sometimes wear traditional colorful skirts and men wear a traditional serwal (baggy trousers). Dress was historically Ottoman, but remains only as part of the folk culture. Today, almost all Lebanese wear Western clothing.
Famous names in the Lebanese fashion industry include Elie Saab and Rabih Kayrouz.

Famous quotes containing the word fashion:
“When ... did the word “temperament” come into fashion with us?... whatever it stands for, it long since became a great social asset for women, and a great social excuse for men. Perhaps it came in when we discovered that artists were human beings.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“I see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It doesn’t behoove elderly persons to follow fashion in their thinking nor in the way they dress.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
