H&M or LC Waikiki for a Gulf Wardrobe: Layers & Modest

Order the basics from H&M in modern cuts such as tees and light shirts, and order the longer, looser pieces from LC Waikiki that suit modest dress and family clothing. Start from what you will actually wear in your country, since each Gulf state has a different climate and different occasions, which each section below sets out.

UAE: a light layer for offices and malls

Offices and malls in the UAE are very cold while the street is hot, so one light top layer you can put on and take off quickly is enough. From H&M a thin cardigan or cotton shirt, from LC Waikiki a long-sleeved long shirt. The parcel flies to Dubai or Abu Dhabi, so write emirate, area and building.

Qatar: looser clothes for heat and majlis visits

In Qatar families wear looser and longer pieces to majlis gatherings and visits, so pick long skirts and wide shirts from LC Waikiki and the tees that go under layers from H&M. Read the cotton percentage before ordering because heat makes synthetic fabric heavy. The parcel is delivered in Doha, Al Rayyan and Al Wakrah after clearance.

Bahrain: one household, several sizes

Homes in Bahrain sometimes hold three generations, which makes it hard to standardize size. Open each item’s size chart and do not assume an H&M size equals an LC Waikiki size. Order one size up for cotton pieces because they shrink in the wash. Address: building number, road and block.

Oman: travel between coast and mountain

Omanis move between humid Muscat, seasonal Salalah and cold mountains, so the same bag needs pieces for three environments. Take light H&M pieces for the coast and warmer LC Waikiki pieces for the mountain cold. The road after Muscat is long, so ask for each piece to be bagged separately.

Common questions

Can I combine an H&M order and an LC Waikiki order in one parcel?

Yes. After the orders reach the receiving address in Türkiye they are checked and combined in one parcel before shipping to your country.

How do I pick a size between the two stores?

Measure chest, waist and length in centimeters, compare with each store’s chart, and send a backup size because common sizes sell out quickly.

Do both stores carry modest pieces?

Both offer pieces with different sleeve and hem lengths, but the range changes by season, so open the item page and check length and fabric before sending the link.
