The Best Short-Sleeve Thobes for Summer

A short-sleeve thobe keeps you cool and looking sharp through summer. Here is what to look for when choosing one, and a few of the best styles to consider.

What to look for in a summer thobe

Choose lighter, breathable fabrics that let heat escape, and lighter colours that reflect the sun. A relaxed short-sleeve cut is more comfortable in a heat wave than a long-sleeve style, while still keeping you covered for everyday wear, Jummah or Eid.
