«اِلْعيَاقَهْ الْمَخْفِيَّهْ فِي الدِّكَّهْ وِالطَّاقِيَّهْ»

The saying locates a concealed kind of stylishness in two items nobody sees: the cord threaded through the waist of the trousers, which may be made of colored silk or similar fine material, and the light cloth cap worn beneath the turban to catch sweat, not a visible hat.

Its point is that this refinement exists out of view. The finery lies in pieces of clothing that stay covered by other garments, so onlookers have no opportunity to notice the care put into them.

Suitable when speaking of fine dress that extends into covered garments, for example a person whose waist cord is of colored silk or whose under-cap is carefully made, even though nobody will ever see either item.
