How to Wear a Thobe in Saudi Arabia

What are the guidelines for wearing a thobe

If you are planning to go to Saudi Arabia, you might be wondering how to wear a thobe. A thobe is a type of garment that covers the area between the navel and the knees. It is worn to prevent a person from being recognized as having a particular color or skin shade. Here are some tips to help you choose and wear a thobe.


Buying a thobe in Saudi Arabia

When you visit Saudi Arabia, it is important to understand the dress code. This is not only to keep you from violating the law, but also to avoid offending others. The 'thobe' is the traditional dress for men in Saudi Arabia.

In addition to the thobe, there are other types of attire. You can wear a zberia (a sandal made of camel leather) if you want to wear a more casual look.

Other clothing styles that are acceptable in public in Saudi Arabia are shorts, long shirts, and trousers. However, you should not walk around naked in public. It is also not allowed to wear jewelry.

If you are traveling to Saudi Arabia for a formal occasion, you may want to buy a thobe. These thobes come in a variety of styles. They are usually made from silk or cotton blend.

To be comfortable, you can opt for a thobe with loose sleeves. For a more sporty look, you can also try a thobe with a high collar.

Usually, thobes are white. But they are also available in other colors. While thobes are considered to be more common in the Middle East, they are not exclusive to Arabs.

Among the many types of thobes, hooded thobes are now popular. The hoods add a current style and also keep you warm in the winter.

Buying a thobe in Saudi Arabia can be a challenge. Fortunately, there are various shops that specialize in thobes. These tailor shops are usually run by expats.

Most of these tailors take measurements from you before making the garment. Typically, it takes a few days to make your thobe.


Choosing the right thobe

One of the biggest challenges when selecting the perfect thobe is the choice of material. Ideally, you would like to find one that is thick, soft, and not too sheer. You also want to find one that's easy to care for. That means hand washing your thobe in warm water is a good idea. If the thobe is going to be exposed to sunlight, protect it with a UV protector.

There are several other things you can do to get the most out of your thobe. First, you need to know the right measurements. This is especially important if you are buying a thobe for a child. The best way to measure a child's height is to have them stand straight.

Next, you need to understand the difference between width and length. A good rule of thumb is to choose a thobe that is not too long or too short. To measure length, place the measuring tape around the hips. Make sure to include a few extra inches in your calculations to avoid getting a tight thobe.

If you're looking for the best thobe for your money, you're probably on the hunt for an upscale version of the fanny pack. Fortunately, you won't have to sacrifice style for function. Instead of leather or suede, you can opt for a pair of penny loafers, Belgian moccasins, or simple white sneakers. After all, a thobe is meant to be enjoyed!

Lastly, you'll want to find a thobe that comes with a free belt. That's a small price to pay for comfort and convenience. As a bonus, your child will be proud to wear their new trés chic thobe.


Covering the area between the navel and the knees

A thobe is a rite of passage for many Muslims, and a must for anyone attempting to make it to the next round of the holy grail. A thobe is the modern day equivalent of the ancient and time worn robes of yore, and while a thobe may be the holy grail of Muslim fashion, it is not the only viable option. For a lot of people, a thobe is too much trouble.

There are a handful of countries in which people still wear traditional attire. One of the more notable is Saudi Arabia, where the country has a venerable lineage and a love of all things Arabian. These traditions have been enshrined in books and museums for centuries, and are awe inspiring to boot. Unlike the rest of the world, the country's religious and cultural diversity is a thing of beauty, and it is a treat to visit. Some women even opt for the occassion, dressing up in a light cloak over their own personal attire when they are out in the wild.

The thobe has its place, and is an important rite of passage for some, but for others, a thobe is a rite to be dispensed with, like the aforementioned robe. It is not a practical choice, and may prove to be a hindrance if you have to operate heavy machinery or lift heavy things. As such, the aforementioned rhomboid is a better bet. Despite their best efforts, the tradition has ebbed and flowed, and many people are shunning the old ways for one reason or another.

If you're lucky, you may get to take your pick of the aforementioned thobe in the near future. But unless you're a lucky schmuck or you're a pious individual, it's best to avoid the temptation and follow a few simple guidelines.


Covering with something prevents anyone from seeing the colour of the skin

Covering with something is very important, because a person wearing a thobe should not allow anyone to see the colour of their skin. A thick thobe should prevent any of the colours of the skin from being seen. However, if a person has a very thin thobe, they can still see their skin. In this case, a white thobe is acceptable. Some thobes are very thin, and are not considered covering at all.

Another way of covering with something is to wear a pair of long pants. These pants are important for men, because they should cover the navel and knees. Long pants can also be worn by women, and are usually a good choice.
