Qamis

The qamis is another name for the men's abaya, a long shirt traditionally worn by men in the Middle East, but also in Asia and Africa, to go to the mosque and pray at ftour time, but not only: this garment can also be observed worn by Muslim men the rest of the year for everyday activities. The qamis is a sober, modest and elegant garment that respects the religious codes of Islam. During the month of Ramadan, it is particularly worn for the breaking of the fast, so stock up on quality, low-priced qamis from our Brentiny Paris online boutique during this precious and sacred month for Muslims.

If you don't already own one, our Ramadan collection made in Brentiny Paris offers you the opportunity to buy your first qamis at a low price.

The qamis is originally a long, white tunic with wide sleeves that covers the ankles. Depending on local customs and dress habits, it is worn with pants underneath, to respect the rules of male awra, i.e. covering certain parts for modesty's sake. The qamis with pants are known as Pakistani qamis.

Our qamis are one-size-fits-all, so they're suitable for all male body shapes. The button-down collar qamis will particularly enhance triangular and oval silhouettes, adding volume to your bust. The stand-up collar qamis is more suited to oval and inverted-triangle shapes.

Depending on the region, qamis take on different shapes and names. In black Africa, they're called boubou and are often colored with a round Mao-style collar. In the Maghreb, the classic qamis is called a gandoura, particularly for the Berbers, who have adapted the qamis to the sky-blue symbol of their culture.

What are the different types of qamis?

To meet your expectations, we've selected a set of qamis that are both modern and traditional, comprising a long tunic as required by Islamic law, and pants. To bring a touch of softness and fantasy to the classic qamis, the sleeves and collar are embroidered, the pants have a straight, flowing cut for total comfort, and you have side pockets as well as a zipped pocket to carry your keys and phone without taking an extra bag.

To offer you a quality Ramadan selection, we've chosen qamis with breathable fabrics and different collars: mao collar, button-down collar, stand-up collar, plain or with embroidery, and in different colors: ivory, light blue, off-white.

For a look that matches your companion, you can take advantage of our line of luxury Dubai abaya for women that respect the rules of modest fashion, and djellaba-inspired top and bottom sets for Ramadan.

We've specially selected qamis with an elegant and refined ¾ cut, the traditional cut of the Arab qamis in the United Arab Emirates for a distinguished outfit at a very small price.

How to wear a qamis for Aid?

You can accessorize your qamis with the traditional red fez with pom-pom, the male headgear worn by Muslim men the world over, particularly in Africa, where it's even the national emblem of Tunisia. On your feet, you can opt for comfort with a pair of black suede men's vans on sale in our shop for just 52 euros, or for a pair of babouches for a total oriental look and a touch of retro. Take advantage of our collection of discount brand shoes with asics gel qantum, vans and multicolored puma to renew your wardrobe.

If you want to follow tradition, you can also wear a keffiyeh, emblem of Palestinian dress culture, with a qamis around the neck, especially for the evening and the breaking of the fast when it's cooler.

In the same spirit of caring for your home during this sacred month for Muslims, take advantage of our collection of oud and musk perfumes to sanitize, clean and bring softness and freshness to your linens, sofas, curtains and all those fabrics you can't machine wash.

Our home fragrances and textile sprays are composed of citrus and forest notes to counterbalance the musk and orange blossom notes that will impregnate your home with a woody, fruity scent.
