Islamic tradition and culture has started to spread despite having been quite controversial in the past few years. We also have been exposed to Islamic culture and tradition through new age mediums like movies, internet and social media. We know certain aspects of Islamic culture especially in the areas of clothing and food. While we do know about the modest Islamic clothing trends, it's time we knew the basics of it. It is due to our ignorance we fail to appreciate the beauty in their simple clothing. We fail to accept the cultural diversity around us because we do not know its significance. How many of us know that there exists a variety of online portals that enable the people to buy thobe online? Now you must be wondering what a "thobe" is. Well, let us broaden our minds by knowing about the different pieces of Islamic clothing.
Let's start at the very beginning. Hijab. Something we have been coming across a lot these days. Hijab is a headwear sported by Islamic women across the globe. It is a single rectangular or square shaped scarf that is used to wrap the head of the lady wearing it. It is folded over the head and is pinned under the chin as a headscarf.
This is a women wear again. This is more like a cloak for Islamic women. It is generally black in colour, but one will be able to see a variety of colourful designs over it using decorative stones and beads. It covers the whole body of a woman. It is fastened to stay put and closed.
A thobe is a traditional Islamic wear for men in the Gulf basically. It is a full length tunic kind of clothing that is very loose. It is a single piece clothing and it comes in different forms in different parts of the UAE. It is a part of
men's modest clothing in UAE.
Ghutra and Egal are the traditional Gulf head wear sported by men. The Ghutra is the scarf that is worn on the head and the Egal is the circular rope that helps the Ghutra stay on the head. The Ghutra or the scarf is generally white in colour and the Egal is black in colour. You can wear these with a thobe or get one when you buy thobe or buy dishdasha online.
- Bisht:
Bisht is the cloak like clothing for men. It is generally worn over the thobe and it is worn by those who hold a titular position in the kingdom or the government. Anyone with great powers wear it. Religious leaders also wear it.
Shalwar Kameez in Islamic clothing is sported by both men and woman. It comprises of a knee length tunic and a loose pyjama to wear under the kameez. It comes in different forms and it has kind of become a common wear for both men and women in South Asian countries.
These are some of the basic Islamic wear that men and women wear in different parts of the world. There are more to look out for. You can buy Jubba online along with Dishdasha for sale.
