And here I thought I’d continue seeing memes of food and Monday morning blues for a hashtag but no- I learned something new instead.<\/p>\n

Up until Sunday, I (like a lot of others) thought that Saudis wearing different-hued bishts was more a fashion statement or a take on the classic bisht with an added flair.<\/p>\n

But boy, was I wrong<\/p>\n

Thanks to a journalist’s curiosity on Twitter, some of us learned something new<\/h3>\n

And the question was as follows…<\/p>\n

Hey guys very important question does the color of a man’s bisht signify anything or is it just fashion fun?<\/p>\n

‘Does the color of a man’s bisht signify anything?’<\/em><\/h4>\n

Bloomberg reporter Vivian Nereim took to Twitter on Sunday to ask about why some men wear coloured bishts, elucidating if it were a signification of something or merely a fashion statement.<\/p>\n

Tweeted like a true journalist, her question led to a series of exciting discoveries based on her followers’ response…<\/p>\n

‘It signifies what day of the week it is’<\/em><\/h3>\n

It signifies what day of the week it is.<\/p>\n

‘This was made official during King Faisal’s time’<\/em><\/h3>\n

Twitter user @tmafaisal further legitimised his answer to Nereim’s question by saying that the rules of wearing a different colored bisht for every day of the week was officiated during the late King Faisal’s time.<\/p>\n

This was made official during King Faisal\u2019s time.<\/p>\n

‘Individually you can wear what you like, but in the Royal Court there is a color for every day for the King and Ministers’<\/em><\/h3>\n

So interesting.<\/p>\n

Now we’ll probably watch the Saudi royals’ bisht color and allocate it with the day of the week<\/h3>\n
