Thobe is a Jalabiyas type Islamic clothing item that is worn by the men. It is an ankle-length garment that usually comes with long sleeves. It looks like a robe or kaftan and commonly worn with pants, lungi, sirwal and izzar. Thobes are mostly worn in countries like Iraq, Arabian countries, and East and West Africa.
White thobes are generally white in colour so sometimes it looks very basic. Islamic men don’t prefer to wear different colours of thobes in the summer season. They must get confused while styling them as you can’t do too much it. So to help them out, here are few tips to avoid blunders while styling it:
1. Tight and White Thobes: It is very important to get your thobe in the right size. You can’t go for too tight or too loose. A tight thobe will make you feel a little uncomfortable. It will make you look sharp and a perfect fitting is enough for achieving great wear. If you have any confusion while styling your thobe, do ask your wife or mother.
2. Go for thick material: A thobe material should be thick. You can’t take a risk with it. A thick material avoids transparency. No one like to see your t-shirt print from your transparent thobe. You can check it while buying it. Cloth plays a very important role when we talk about the trends and good looks.
3. White Thobe with baseball cap: If you are fashionable then it is the right time to show your fashion taste. Avoid using a headscarf and use a normal cap. While choosing a cap, don’t go out of the box. You can wear any cap with it but can’t go with a funky baseball cap. So, whenever you are combining East and western cultural, try to play with basics.
4. White thobe with black high sneakers: Sneakers can never go out of fashion, but combining with your traditional dress will make you look weird. Sneakers are the western clothing item while Thobe is the Eastern clothing item, if these two are classified in two different categories then there must be some reason behind it.
When you are styling your Men’s Islamic clothing, especially thobe, remember to keep it simple. Over enhancing will make you look weird and no one lives to be a joker of the show. We understand that you love to look trendy but the balance is very important in dressing. You can play with colour, fabrics, lengths and head scarfs, but don’t do too much with your outfit. After all, simplicity defines the real personality of a person.
