I have been getting some stares lately and I have come to realize that its because of my dresses...I wear formals with trousers to office but I tend to wear skirts at home or while shopping...Is it right or ok to wear them or it's prohibited?
Ignore the comments from some of these folks, ie the ones telling you to cover up head to toe, if you are an expat. Dress comfortably...I wear skirts also, which hit about my knee or a bit above, and its fine...yes you get stares, but like gypsy said..you get stares if covered up like a snowbunny. Heck, we get hit on when we are TOTALLY covered..part of the territory...don't throw away the skirts..go for it!!
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
dont listen to the uneducated comments rabbit ,my wife gets stared at all times in the car, shopping ,at work etc its just because there is alot of deperate men here and she does not even own a skirt
There was a news report a few months ago which said that guidelines were going to be issued for what you should wear when out in public in Qatar, and that this was going to be policed. Nothing seems to come of it though.
I'd say wear what you feel comfortable in and respect the traditions of this Muslim country (so no "kylie" hot-pants or micro skirts!). As
syamsat says; men will always stare, it's the nature of the beast, but some are less subtle than others because it's a novelty to them since they come from a more reserved country.
a lot of people feel differently towards the issue of wearing skirt....something tells me that its a big issue out here...Np I will discard them....that way I will be at peace...:(
I was brought up in Doha, was there from 1982 to 1997. I was a small kid then but I remember lots of my friends/friend's mom's used to wear skirts even then. I dont think there is any problem with wearing skirts in Doha. I'm sure ur not talking about mini skirts, but anything below the kneee is perfectly OK.
Meh, you could wear a snow suit and they'd still stare. I'm not a pretty girl and I wear clothes that look like they came from the second hand souk and they still stare at me. :P
(no seriously, wear whatever your comfortable with, they will stare no matter what ;)

No doubt I may be a fool but you are a pervert. Mind your language - U r the one who provoked this with "Even jogging naked is also not prohibited". Really shows what runs at the back of u r mind though u pretend otherwise.

Wear comfortable clothes and ones you feel good in, people will always stare, it doesn't mean anything as long as you don't stare back where a person might think that they are getting the come on. Men are just men and will stare anyway until their eyeballs fall out lol.
There have been various discussion on QL about what to wear and what not to wear, in the end you are the person wearing the clothes,and you should take into consideration that this country has traditions and a culture very different to the West, however it is your choice what you wear. In any case I would take a look at I love Qatar I do believe there is something mentioned there on how ans what to wear .
Remember your in an Islamic state, discretion is very important to feel confortable, appropriate clothing for appropriate place and timming....to most of the labor folks its a cluture shock to them, thus the glare n stare
Depends on the place where you live and work. My wife wears skirts and she can carry the dress well and can handle the stares as well. Don’t be conscious of stares..Just get going. That stares are not meant for violating any local customs, but out of general male instinct.( Even when I go out with my wife, I can't escape from some head turners ;-)
Alexa as u posted above that u r allowed 2 wear anything , i agree with u , as formally u can wear everything , but it was my vision that women should not wera skirt.
Rabbit are you really a rabbit? that is the 11th non-sense question, i read this day....do you ever read the 10 nonsense question posted earlier???
Alexa im with you....what ever you're wearing, people will always stare at you.....(because maybe they have eyes hahaha,,, this is stupid answer also) ...
Rabbit, wear clothes that makes you comfortable...wear anything that will give you confidence and secure not to embarassed you for accidents like strong wind, slipery steps whatever...
...are you crazy or something...Look at your posts above.You look like a maniac to me...are you really crazy! And please dont post your dirty comments on my threads.
This is for the people who recommend the skirt , so u people are in the catagory of naked jogging.and specially amnesia i can invite u at home 4 this purpose if u r interested.
What is the meaning of your post above? Are you showing your sense of humor or the lack of it?
The reason I have put the question here is to find out for myself instead of relying on what people tell me about the customs and traditions here...Si if you cannot give answers to the questions;you should not post unnecessarily.

Leave the wearing of skirts to men. It is better.

Murali , seems u are fool, i am defending the culture which is adoped here and trying that RRRRRAAAAABIIIIT should know the tradition of the country.
i admire syamsat for being one honest male here...referring to his posts that he can't as well escape looking at some "head turners"...

That stares are not meant for violating any local customs, but out of general male instinct.( Even when I go out with my wife, I can't escape from some head turners ;-)
ALexa , again i will say please use commonsence, if she dont wanaa bare her parts then the people stare at what????????????????????//

The respect of a women is not to show her parts.

I dis agree with ALexa
Rabit you are really rabbit.
I can say SHAME SHAME SHAME & SHAME for you people.
Wearing skirts is absolutely allowed here and you would have seen many women in skirts in places like City center,Landmark etc...
Life is Beautiful...Indeed!
Shameless for the people who accept skirt.
...shameless person are you sajja....whateva...Don't you understand...Now get off my thread...eyyayaaaaa

You can wear..it will be good if it can cover from head to tows ;-)
Even jogging naked is also not prohibited
Everything depends on you. Its not banned here you can wear anything u wish.....
not prohibited...but if you are bothered with the stares you are getting..then maybe you have to stop wearing those skirts...
[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Its Allowed to quench th elust of bachelors
its okay as long as u bear the stare and the look from the crowd. I suggest you wear something that comfort you.
Everybody is right and Everybody is wrong, its depend where you stand
It's allowed, just not something that would show the bottom curves of y our bum :P
Just remember as an expat you can get away with wearing almost anything, just don't mind getting a few stares if you turn a few people on :P
