What is the difference between a chachia and a shemagh?

Chachia and shemagh are popular traditional fashion accessories in Middle Eastern countries. Although often confused, they have distinct differences.

The chachia is a knitted woolen cap, often in red color, worn mainly by Muslim men. It is often associated with Arab cultural identity and is considered a symbol of national pride.

The shemagh, also known as a keffiyeh or ghutrah, is a woolen or cotton scarf, usually white in color and striped in dark colors. It is commonly worn by men in Arab countries to protect themselves from the sun and sand. The shemagh can also be worn as an item of fashion and self-expression.

In summary, the main difference between chachia and shemagh is their shape and cultural significance.
