A Rumi costume is not only about the sudden details and flowing shapes, the accessories in addition turn the costume from a basic outfit to one that is felt to have depth and symbolism. Thoughtful props and styling details can add layers to a costume while also paying tribute to Rumi’s poetry.

1. Props with Meaning to Hold

Props are an effective way to add more depth and meaning to your outfit while also being eye-catching. Think of these ideas:

Books of Poetry: Represent Rumi’s words and teachings with a fabric-wrapped journal or a slim, simple book.

Prayer Beads (Misbaha or Tasbih): Use them as an accessory, casually as a spiritually authentic accessory worn on the wrist or just carried along.

Candles or Lanterns: If you are attending an event, a small LED candle or lantern creates a stunning connection to the Rumi poetry theme surrounding light.

Making use of a cane also a walking as stick of staff. It signifies wisdom and also is valuable as a walking stick. Furthermore, it can be used as a stick in a play.

The Rumi costumes are part of the Rumi costumes. They are characterized by the cap style. Here we will show you how to wear one using simple scarves.

Beanie or a skull cap will be used to hold the wrap as the base layer.

You will have a long fabric scarf as the base layer. Grab the long scarf or shawl and place the middle portion of the scarf on the nape of the head.

Then,

The next Step is to Wrap. Bring the ends to cross and lays the ends to the forehead. After you cross the ends, bring it back around.

The ends into the back of the head to tuck and not be visible.

A shorter method is to wrap a scarf around the head and anchor it. You can drape the tail to the shoulder.

It’s are not used only for decoration. They hold the layers in place of the flowing costumes.

A wide fabric piece or sash can be used for adornment to go with the Rumi dress.

The belt can be around the waist or under the waist and tied around in off center position to give a contrast.

If you want a more sophisticated dress then you can wrap a wide or thin belt around the waist or under the waist. It can be styled as a busy one.A simple belt will do if you want a sophisticated touch.

A belt of thin scarves can also be used. You can also use two scarves if you want a more styled wear.

Accessories to the Costume
Rings and Other Plain Jewelry- No need to have anything heavy or loud, simple pieces of metal in a ring shape or a bead necklace work well.

Barefoot or Plain Sandals- Barefoot or sandals is a nice way to maintain the simplicity and the spiritual character of the outfit.

A Pinned Brooch or Tassel- A delicate centerpiece with thoughtfully chosen elements can give a nice detail without breaking the flow of the outfit.

Polishing Touch

For instance, a scarf can be turned into a turban, a book represents a symbol of wisdom, and a sash can be used to give a robe a more structured shape. These small thoughtful details combined seamlessly, take you beyond just looking like Rumi, but truly embody the essence of Rumi’s timeless presence.
