veiling
Definition
- Veiling loosely refers to the worldwide variety of dress codes and styles associated with shielding portions of the body from view, particularly the upper body, scalp hair, and/or face. Veiling signals both difference and affiliation, variably and often simultaneously, over religious, cultural, generational, sexed, gendered, class, historical-political, and (consequently) personal lines.
