A thawb[a][b] is an Arab garment mainly worn by inhabitants of the Middle East and North Africa. The thawb is long-sleeved ankle-length traditional robe; it is worn by men and women with regional variations in name and style.[1] Depending on local traditions, a thawb can be worn in formal or informal settings; in the Gulf states thawbs are the main formal attire for men.[2] It is also worn by Muslim men in the Indian subcontinent due to its modest appearance, and is believed to be a sunnah,[3] and it is commonly referred to as a jubbah there.[4][5][6] The etymology of the word “thawb,” the history and origin of the robe, its regional styles and versions, and its modern use help to characterize and differentiate the thawb from other traditional Arabic clothes.
