Last updated: May 22, 2026
In the world of fashion and style, UAE stands out with its mix of traditional and modern outlooks. You can find men there in Kandura and Gutura or Shemag and also in the most modern suits.
The balance between the traditional and modern sense of styles is what is sought by most in UAE and that is what is kept in mind before stitching a bespoke suit in the country.
Taking about Men and our sense of style, we always have an innate desire to express the alpha in us. Every Man wants to stand out in the crowd and be the center of attention, and with that perfect-fitting suit on, we will look ready to slay the competition.
Suits (classic to contemporary) have been evergreen and at the epitome of style for time immemorial. A well-tailored suit will accentuate the contours of the body so well that it will feel like a second skin. This will get him to puff up with confidence and be ready to conquer the world. Who doesn’t want that charm and the touch of arrogance to go with it?
Behind that perfect armour, there is a lot of work that has been put in. Before getting on one of those suits, one must understand the process involved in the craft. This will only add value to the wardrobe. With this understanding, men will look at suits from a different perspective, placing them on a higher platform.
Why tailored suits?
Be it double-breasted or single, the essence of a perfect suit is in its fit. No matter how many suits you try, it is hard to find that perfect fit on the shelf. To get that sartorial perfection, you can always go for that bespoke suit, the one that is just tailored for you. You can match it with that shirt, ties, cufflinks, shoes, etc and look sharp and dapper, all set for doing business in UAE.
Behind the Craft
The art is never complete without acknowledging the craftsman. The hard work and the finesse put into that suit can never be ignored. These artisans have that effect. It is the experience they have accumulated through years of training that is manifesting through their suits. Starting from master tailors to pattern makers, seamstresses to finishers, all play their part well in creating that perfect sartorial masterpiece just for you.
The fine art of selecting the fabric
Both the look and feel of the suits are equally important. The season, the occasion and the contemporary fashion are kept in mind before making the choice. The right fabric is the secret to that flawless suit, choosing which takes years of experience. Whether it be lightweight wool, linen, cotton, seersucker, or tropical wool, the selection is based on the requirement of the occasion and the personality type.
You must keep the hot and humid climate in mind while choosing the fabric. Most of our patrons go for a fabric that is summer friendly like linen or cotton. It is a breathable fabric and lets you stay cool in that hot and humid climate, but if you are going to a wedding on a January evening, remember to choose the lightweight wool or tropical wool, that will keep you warm.

The art of tailoring
It requires hours of hand stitching, shaping, and refining to get that impeccable suit. Tailoring suits for each individual requires a unique approach. It must be carried out keeping the individual alone in mind. Now that is a tricky and tough process to get through. Nothing but sheer experience can make it possible.
Before tailoring, precise measurements are taken and then it is translated into patterns. These patterns are first cut and then stitched to create that perfect-fitting suit.
At White Stripes, our tailors are aware of the traditional aspect of clothing which when mixed with contemporary trends creates that perfect blend and style.

Details turn the suit into Art
A tailored suit is an art. A suit that has all things in harmony and solidity will look like a monolithic sculpture that has been the result of pure dedication and a sense of art. The linings, the colour of the thread, the buttons, aligned pinstripes, functional buttonholes, and the hand-stitched lapels, all must be in sync. Must not look like anything but one solid suit like it was born in that style.
If you want to own that piece of art, you must rely on someone best in the game. The sense of style cannot be bought, it is innate and with experience, only the rough edges are taken away.
