The difference between a short qamis and a long qamis

Qamis are traditional Arab and Muslim clothing for men, which have been used for centuries. There are two main types of qamis: short qamis and long qamis . Each of these types of qamis has its own characteristics and is used for different occasions.

The short qamis

Also called "thawbs" in Arabic, are usually worn for wedding ceremonies. They have long sleeves and generally stop at the knees . At My Qamis Homme, we have Pakistani qamis as short qamis.

The long qamis

Also called "dishdashas" in Arabic, are usually worn for special occasions, such as weddings and religious ceremonies . They have long sleeves and usually fall to the ankles . Long qamis are often made from thicker materials, such as linen or kaftan, to be more formal and dressier. At My Qamis Homme, we have the Emirati , Saudi and short-sleeved qamis which are long qamis above the ankles.

It is important to note that short qamis and long qamis can vary greatly in style and design , depending on the region they come from. Qamis from Gulf countries , for example, may have more tailored cuts and more modern designs, while qamis from North African countries may be more traditional and have older designs.

In summary, short qamis and long qamis are two types of traditional Arab and Muslim clothing for men. Short qamis are usually worn for everyday occasions, while long qamis are usually worn for special occasions. Each of these types of qamis has its own characteristics and is made from different materials to suit the needs of each occasion.
