A Bayt Yusuf qamis is chosen first by its cut. The Emirati qamis, in a fitted cut, flatters the silhouette with its collar and cord; the Mecca qamis, in a loose cut, gives complete freedom of movement in a finer fabric. Both are made in Dubai, in fluid, opaque fabrics that crease little.
White or cream white for Friday and Eid, black, midnight blue or purple for weddings and evenings, grey or blue every day: our qamis come in sizes M to XL and lengths 54 to 62, to fall right at the ankle. Torn between a qamis, a djellaba and a gandoura? Our guide explains the differences.
