The thobe, an iconic garment rich with tradition and worn by men across the Arab, adorns their bodies as an embodiment of culture and faith - more than mere clothing! Regional variations reflect specific styles. Today we look closer at its most intriguing detail - its collar - exploring whether its presence or absence contributes to shaping its unique character - Collar Thobes Vs Non-Collar Thobes, which one is the best?

Collared Thobes: Elegance Meet Sophistication 

Collared thobes can often be found sporting either a stand-up collar or button-down option and are commonly worn throughout Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Gulf nations. Their collar adds formality and structure for religious gatherings or formal meetings such as prayer services in grand mosques - the uniform lines exuding an air of quiet reverence is only made more evident!
