Pants?

[Askara]

Hello. This is my first costuming project, and while the inner and outer robe are coming along fine, I am left with an odd question:

What sort of pants should I wear under the thawb?

As far as I can tell, the boots I'm getting will reach high enough that the pants won't be seen under the inner robe, but I still wonder what the general consensus is.

Thank you!

I usually just wear shorts under the robe.

Pants will add heat; wearing 3 layers of velvet will do enough of that on it's own. Even if you are outside and it's freezing cold, you'll still likely be comfortable/warm in shorts. I wear short sleeved shirt and shorts year round in Canada.

My thanks to both. Seeing as how summer is starting here south of the Equator, shorts and a t-shirt it will be. Fortunately I'll be wearing it for the midnight screening of Rogue One and the AC will help.

I tend to go with the wick away cooling underarmor top and leggings under the robes myself.

Costume is just really warm, I would so not wear pants at all!

I wear an athletic shirt and pants under my robes when I troop. It's mostly for when there are events with a shared changing area (most events for me) or if the only place we can change is at our cars. Just something to consider

On the other hand, be sure to choose an opaque model, sometimes some white thobe models are transparent and therefore you could feel embarrassed if the shorts are too short. I advise you to buy those from this specialized store and if you really aren't comfortable with white, you can always choose black.

even with a/c, shorts and light t shirt, I still find I'm in hell. A ventilated vest or one with ice packs will help as well.
