  • The abaya (al'aba), a cloak-like garment worn by
    a woman to disguise her body form, is generally
    the first thing that springs to mind when
    thinking about Arab attire. Although the abaya is
    a well-known garment, the traditional menswear
    known as the Thawb has grown massively in
    popularity, especially in the United Arab
    Emirates. 
  • In this blog, well get a better understanding of
    what a Thawb is and how it has evolved over the
    past few years in the UAE and other gulf regions.

What Is A Thawb?
  • The thawb, also known as the thobe or tobe, is an
    ankle-length garment with long sleeves that
    resembles a robe or a kaftan. Underneath, a
    sirwal or trousers is usually worn. It's popular
    in the Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran,
    and neighbouring Arab countries, as well as
    various East and West African countries.

4
The Meaning of Thawb
  • The term thawb is an Arabic word that means 'a
    garment.' It's also known as thobe or thaub. It's
    a tunic that's usually quite long. In Arab states
    of the Persian Gulf and some parts of Egypt's
    south, the term refers exclusively to this
    garment. The proper length of the thawb has been
    a source of contention.

5
Common Thawb Colours
  • The truth is that the different colours you see
    in a Thawb have no meaning except personal
    preference. White is by far the most popular
    colour. In the summer, Arab males prefer to wear
    white or lighter silky-feeling colours since they
    are the coolest to wear in the intense desert
    heat. Darker colours, such as black or brown, are
    more popular in the winter months, and are
    frequently constructed of thicker fabrics like
    cotton or viscose.

6
The Present and Future of The Thawb In The UAE
  • As of this day, most UAE women wear the thawb to
    social events and celebrations such as weddings.
    It is regarded as a respected emblem for
    maintaining ancient practices, in addition to
    appealing to local tastes. 
  • The Thawb industry is currently expanding. The
    Thawb is a style that has never gone out of
    fashion. It's a classic item whose elegance has
    stood the test of time. They are marketed as
    men's attire for today's Arabic man. Everyone
    adores the thawb's fashionable appearance. Hence,
    theres no doubt that this beautiful traditional
    menswear is here to stay. 
  • So, if youre looking for high-quality Kuwaiti
    Kandora or a fashionable thawb shop, consider
