Why do Arabs wear robes?

Saudis choose robes as their main clothing to adapt to the desert environment with little rain and heat all year round. Arabian robes are characterized by their large size, which can cover the whole body. The wind outside blows into the robe, and the robe can jump up and down quickly, playing a kind of "stack effect" and sweeping away the moisture emitted by the body.

At the same time, because the skin of the human body is covered with a wide robe, it blocks the direct sunlight on the body surface, and the air filled with robes plays a good role in heat insulation, thus making people feel cool and comfortable. Saudi Arabia's clothing design research experts believe that the design of Arab robes has played a very good role in regulating the comfortable microclimate in robes.

Arab women must wear black headscarves, veils and robes. Some Arab countries, especially Gulf countries, do have strict regulations on women's clothing, such as wearing headscarves and robes when going out. ?
