How to Wear a Moroccan Gandoura: Style Guide for the Modern Muslim Man
The Moroccan Gandoura, also called a Thobe or Jubbah, and the Djellaba (hooded Thobe) are timeless pieces rooted in tradition yet perfect for the modern wardrobe. At BERBER, we specialize in luxurious Moroccan attire crafted with premium fabrics and authentic hand-stitching. Here’s how to style these elegant garments to fit seamlessly into both traditional and contemporary settings.
The Djellaba – The Hooded Moroccan Thobe
Known for its distinctive hood, the Djellaba offers style and warmth in one. In the UK, it’s often worn slightly above the ankle, allowing a clean finish or a subtle glimpse of branded socks (stay tuned for the release of BERBER socks!). This trend keeps the Djellaba modern while honoring its timeless appeal.
Styling Tips:
- Layer It Right: To elevate the Djellaba, pair your Djellaba with a classic Saudi white collar thobe.
- Footwear Matters: Traditional sandals work well for warmer seasons, but your choice HighTop Sneakers or loafers elevate your outfit during autumn and winter.
- Ankle Length Finish: To maintain the traditional look with a modern twist, ensure the Djellaba sits above the ankle – this gives a clean, distinguished line. You could wear it a little higher, to show off your BERBER branded Socks (Coming Soon)
The Gandoura – The Classic Moroccan Thobe
The Gandoura is a classic, hoodless Moroccan Thobe, designed for comfort and ease. Made from luxurious materials like cashmere and organic cotton, it combines tradition with a touch of luxury, ideal for both formal events and casual gatherings.
Styling Tips:
Minimal Accessories: The Gandoura makes a statement on its own, so keep accessories simple for an effortlessly elegant look.
Showcase Your Style: Some wearers prefer to show branded socks or trousers underneath, adding a subtle, modern twist to this traditional attire.
Layer Thoughtfully: For the cooler weather, a puffer jacket goes well!
