Urban Algerian man wearing a white/beige burnous, 19thcentury
A burnous (Arabic: برنوس, romanized: burnūs), also burnoose, burnouse , bournous or barnous, is a long cloak of coarse woollen fabric with a pointed hood, often white in colour, traditionally worn by Arab and Berber men in North Africa.[1] Historically, the white burnous was worn during important events by men of high positions. Today, men of different social standing may wear it for ceremonial occasions, such as weddings or on religious and national holidays.[2][3][4]
