It has nothing to do with Ottomans that fashion screams EEF.
It has nothing to do with EEF, that is one of the most ridiculous things i've heard in a while.
Bashibuzuks worked as mercenaries for Ottomans, and brought back these fashions.
Trying to claim this fashion is pre-Ottoman is like trying to say that Ottoman trousers that many older rural women still wear were pre-Ottoman, it shows a total lack of historical awarenes.
Albanian. "Mahramë" (Shawl, Kerchief)
loanword from Arabic. مَحْرَمَة (maḥrama) [kerchief].
Also loaned into:
Serbo-Croatian: Marama [kerchief]
Crimean Tatar. Marama [kerchief]
