DOLMAN Meaning and Definition

1. A dolman is a type of loose-fitting, wide-sleeved garment that is worn by both men and women, traditionally as an outer garment. The term "dolman" refers to both the style and the name of the garment itself. It originated from the Turkish word "dolaman," meaning "robe" or "long coat."

   Typically, a dolman is characterized by its loose and flowing silhouette, with wide sleeves that are often cut in one piece with the body of the garment. The sleeves can extend from the shoulder to the wrist or may be shorter, and they are typically wider at the top and taper down towards the wrist. The body of the dolman is usually straight or slightly flared, providing a comfortable and relaxed fit.

   Dolmans can be made from various materials ranging from lightweight fabrics like silk and chiffon for a more formal and elegant look, to heavier materials such as wool or velvet for a more cozy and casual style. They can also feature different closures, such as buttons, zippers, or ties, depending on the design.

   Over the years, the dolman has evolved and been adapted by different cultures and fashion trends, resulting in variations of the garment that may include additional elements like belts or hoods. Nowadays, dolmans are often worn as fashion statements, either as a standalone piece or as an outer layer over other clothing items.
