What is a Thobe?

The “thobe” (also spelled thawb, thobe, thoub) is a long‑robe garment traditionally worn in the Arab world, distinguished by its ankle‑length cut and relaxed silhouette. While rooted in heritage, the modern thobe has evolved into a stylish piece of men’s attire that merges cultural authenticity with contemporary appeal.
