Which Is The Right Kandora For You?

 With a door-to-door tailoring system with a high-quality luxury kandora, the search for the right kandora can be a strenuous one. We remember a time when, as a kid, a new kandora was made for specific celebrations, including Eid, and how delighted people were to wear new clothes.

 There is something about sliding into a brand new kandora—the sleek, gentle, satiny feeling of the material as you push your hands into your sleeves; it's a feeling of pride that you could do everything and anything. 

Kandoras have changed over the years, and today, they all have a distinctive style. Certain men prefer to get it loose and comfortable, with a smooth cloth; others prefer a stiff fabric that produces a sound as they walk. Others would still like to observe the seasons and switch the shades they wear, from lighter to darker. 

Another very essential point to consider is the distinction between the men's local dresses in the region. However a lot of visitors feel they look the same (they see only a long, white garment), there are indeed a lot of subtle distinctions that describe where one comes from. 

Here are some of the most common and popular kandora types from different regions, which you can use to compare and determine which is best suited for you.

Emirati 

Slick and trendy, the Emirati kandora is typically white, but darker shades emerge when climates cool down. The Emirati kandora is characterised by a tassel held on its neck, often accompanied by similar sleeves embroidery. So there's no collar.

Kuwaiti 

Almost extremely similar to its Emirati cousin, Kuwaiti kandora utilises sophisticated fabrics, has a sleek design as well as a one-button collar. White is the most standard colour, although there are variants of gold.

Qatari 

Historically, the cloth is luminous, thus making it glow in the sunshine. Many of them have a shirt pocket in front and a strong tassel, hanging from the end.

Saudi 

The most professional look in the country, a Saudi kandora looks really elegant owing to a 2-button collar and a close fit. The sleeves are quite distinct and customised so that they can be adorned with cufflinks.

Omani 

While Omani kandoras don't really have a collar, they are much more vibrant, with vivid hues. They have loose tassels attached to the kandora at chest level. Complicated embroidery all across wrists, neckline and around the back distinguishes the kandora, which is often followed by distinguished headwear: the Kuma, which is made utilising a buttonhole sewing process.

Bahraini 

Although they are as well primarily white, owing to the remarkable row of buttons stitched on the front, you could actually tell the difference. Bahraini kandoras are often improved with a pocket as well as a soft collar. They are light and extremely airy. 

So, which one is the right fit for you? Regardless of your choice, if you’re looking for quality kandoras, you should consider visiting Meemo, a professional tailor in Abu Dhabi.
