When you are wearing a one-piece outfit such as a thobe, it may feel difficult to stamp your own sense of originality and style on it. However, there are plenty of ways that you can add a whole host of accessories that help to elevate it. With this in mind, here are a few different ideas that you can try out and put into practice.

Think about the right footwear

Obviously, you are going to have to wear the right pair of shoes when you are wearing thobes, so you need to consider a pair that is perfect for the occasion. During more casual times, a pair of leather sandals are a classic look that also provide comfort at the same time. Alternatively, a pair of converse can help to give the informal look that you are going for. If it is a more formal affair, you may well prefer some closed shoes or boots that are well shined and complement the feeling of the occasion.

Add a watch

Another useful accessory that has its own sense of appeal is a watch. Adding a stylish timepiece to a thobe certainly draws the eye, but if you pick the right one, it can do this without being too ostentatious. Think about the colour of your thobe and how the watch is going to look alongside it. Ultimately, this all depends on whether you want it to blend in or really pop off on its own.

A practical belt

While you don’t necessarily need to wear a belt with your thobe, it can provide a nice touch to one that fits a bit looser – helping to give it a sense of shape. You will typically go for one that is either the same colour or a similar colour to the thobes that you are wearing. A nice buckle can help to give it an even greater sense of style and sophistication.

Some simple jewellery

There are plenty of jewellery options that you have when wearing a thobe. Often, classic gold and silver are popular choices. For most people, these don’t need to be overly flashy. Instead, a subtle chain or a light wristband is enough to add a little bit of something extra while continuing to maintain the traditional nature of this item of clothing.

Add a layer on top

Finally, on some occasions, it is going to be appropriate to add a layer on top of your thobe, as well as accessories. This means that you have a great deal of freedom over what you can choose to express your style – and it can also serve a practical function if the weather is colder. On more formal occasions, you can go for something that is well-tailored

Adding any one or more of these accessories can certainly help to bring wearing a thobe up to the next level. The general rule of thumb is that you don’t want to be going too big with it. Instead, it is the subtle additions that can make all the difference here and really make all the difference.
