The classic Eid outfit for men is a clean, well-fitted thobe worn over a light undershirt and sirwal, finished with smart shoes and a touch of fragrance. Eid al-Fitr 2027 is expected around 9–10 March, so in much of the US you will also want a warm coat for the walk to Eid prayer.
Many Muslims make a point of wearing their best clothes, often something new, on the morning of Eid. A good Eid thobe does not need to be complicated. It needs to fit, feel comfortable through a long day of prayer and visits, and look right in family photos.
When is Eid 2027?
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 7–8 February 2027, and Eid al-Fitr is expected around 9–10 March 2027. The exact dates depend on the sighting of the moon, so check with your local mosque or community as the month goes on.
Eid al-Adha 2027 is expected in late spring. Everything in this guide works for both Eids, with lighter layers for the warmer weather.
Eid outfit formulas for men
Here are four simple combinations. Pick one and build around it.
1. Classic white
- Thobe: M113 White Collar Thobe With Gold Embroidery, our best-selling US thobe, or the cleaner M73 White Saudi Collar Thobe
- Under: white or skin-tone undershirt, white sirwal
- Shoes: tan or brown leather loafers
- Finish: a light, clean scent
White is the traditional choice for many men, and it is easy to coordinate with brothers, sons and fathers. Browse all white thobes.
2. Rich color with gold details
- Thobe: M116 Green Collar Thobe With Gold Buttons or M126 Midnight Blue Collar Thobe With Gold Buttons
- Under: white undershirt, light sirwal
- Shoes: dark brown leather
- Finish: a warmer oud or amber scent
Deep green and midnight blue stand out in a sea of white without feeling loud. The gold buttons do the work, so keep everything else simple.
3. The collarless Gulf look
- Thobe: M120 Green Emirati Thobe With Gold Embroidery or the newer M131 Green Omani Thobe with its detachable tassel
- Under: crew-neck undershirt so nothing shows at the open neckline
- Shoes: leather sandals indoors, loafers outside
This is a relaxed, elegant option for men who prefer a softer neckline. See all Emirati thobes and Omani thobes.
4. Evening Eid dinner
- Thobe: M105 Midnight Black Prestige Thobe, made from premium TR suiting fabric with a patterned viscose sleeve detail
- Under: white undershirt, dark sirwal
- Shoes: black leather
- Finish: your favorite evening fragrance
Black reads formal and sharp, which suits a family dinner or an Eid party after the morning visits.
What to wear under your Eid thobe
A thin cotton undershirt keeps the thobe clean and helps it hang well. Under white thobes, choose white or a color close to your skin tone so nothing shows through in bright light. Loose cotton trousers, known as sirwal, keep you comfortable and modest through prayer and a day of sitting on floors and sofas.
Shoes for Eid in the US
Leather sandals are traditional, but a March morning in Chicago or New York is no time for bare feet. Most men in the US wear leather loafers, clean leather sneakers or ankle boots with socks. Choose a color that matches your belt or watch strap, and give them a quick clean the night before.
Fragrance
Fragrance is part of Eid for many Muslim men. Oud, musk, amber and rose-based attars are popular. Apply lightly: a little on the wrists and the chest of the thobe is plenty. If you use oil-based attar, let it dry before you dress, especially on light colors.
Staying warm: outerwear for a cold Eid morning
Eid al-Fitr 2027 falls in early spring, and in many states that still means freezing mornings.
- A long wool overcoat in navy, charcoal or camel works over any thobe. Knee length or longer looks most balanced.
- A thermal top and leggings under your undershirt and sirwal add warmth without bulk.
- A knit scarf and gloves for the walk from the parking lot.
- A padded long-line jacket if you will be outside for an open-air Eid prayer.
Take your coat off once you are inside so your thobe gets its moment.
Save time on Eid morning
Eid mornings are busy. A wrinkle-resistant thobe such as the M131, the M116 or the M117 Black Collar Thobe With Buttons hangs out with less ironing, which helps if you are traveling to family. See all wrinkle-resistant thobes.
When to order your Eid thobe
Orders ship the same day from our US warehouse and arrive within 3 business days, so delivery is quick. Even so, we suggest ordering by mid-February, early in Ramadan. That gives you time to try your thobe on, and to exchange it within 14 days if you need a different size, well before Eid. Browse the Eid thobes collection to pick yours.
A few practical tips:
- Check your size with the thobe size finder before you order.
- Use a street address. We cannot deliver to PO boxes.
- Order for the whole family in one go and spend over $150 for free shipping.
