How to Style a Short-Sleeve Thobe for Summer

Short-sleeve thobes are the easiest way to stay cool and look put-together in summer. Here is how to style one — the colours that work, the footwear that suits, and how to layer for warm days and cooler evenings.

Why short-sleeve thobes work in summer

A short-sleeve thobe (or Omani-style kandura) keeps you covered and comfortable in the heat. Lighter colours reflect the sun and breathable fabrics help on hot days — an easy choice for everyday wear, Jummah or Eid.

How to style a short-sleeve thobe

• Footwear — clean trainers or leather sandals keep it relaxed; loafers dress it up.
• Layering — add a denim jacket or a hoodie for cooler evenings.
• Accessories — finish with an Arabic cap to keep the sun off.
• Colour — neutral and lighter tones are the most versatile for summer.
