They wear it simply because God commanded them.Middle Eastern women were wearing sacks since they first got cloth. In the Bible it was the preferred costume of whores. That way they could turn tricks and the guys didn't know who they were screwing or if the woman was old or ugly. There's a great story in the Bible about it, Genesis chapter 38.

Genesis 38:15-18 (MSG) = "15 Judah saw her and assumed she was a prostitute since she had veiled her face. He left the road and went over to her. He said, “Let me sleep with you.” He had no idea that she was his daughter-in-law.
16 She said, “What will you pay me?”
17 “I’ll send you,” he said, “a kid goat from the flock.”
She said, “Not unless you give me a pledge until you send it.”
18 “So what would you want in the way of a pledge?”
She said, “Your personal seal-and-cord and the staff you carry.”
He handed them over to her and slept with her. And she got pregnant."
