Is it acceptable to wear leggings under a dress that's above the knee (in general or in the workplace)?

depending on your:

1.age

2.environment

3.your confidence

i for one, am not qatari, but i really want to wear that cloth in the face with abaya cuz i wanna go to the mall and just drift and when u are wearing that no one will notice u...i just love that. NO OFFENSE meant to the qataris, i do respect ur culture.my friend who is a local told me, i am crazy though.hmm, but not really i just dig the idea of a barrier.

Leggings

It really depends on the situation.

If you are 21 and are going to be working in a hip clothing store, then yes,

If you are working in a professional office, then no.

generally acceptable in too ordinary places and events.

According to law no problem but according to humanity and respect,you should not wear something which make others to attack on you.Why dont you hide your knee or any other stuff,first you should think of your over showing then talk about others later.

I think you'd have to be very petite to carry the look off successfully. Cute at night, not at work.

Maybe not at work...but it really does depend on the place. I'm sure you will make the right choice.

there is some unswears before written in forums so you can read it

-----------------------------1------------------------------

I m a qatari female replaying to u all about the clothing.. u r free to wear whaever u want... but it will be nice to respect our cuture and religon by wearing aproperiate cloths..

there isnt any code or restriction. no one will say any singel word to u.. fell free and enjoy it

-----------------------------2----------------------------------

dress code

the qataris are good people, they usually cover up from head to toe(as is their custom), but they dont require that you do the same.

we see westerners dressed in sleeveless tops and shorts walking around the malls, and thats okay, too. (though i wonder sometimes, dont they feel the cold? its freezing inside the malls).

it would be better to wear a tshirt and knee length clothes, more out of respect to other people and to avoid the stares. ( majority of low-paid labourers, especially from pakistan, bangladesh, srilanka,and nepal are living the life of bachelors, and is it fair to them if you flaunt it?)

-------------------------3----------------------------

culture

no , it's not true you can dress as you want it's free for the western women .

enjoy your trip

Woman dress

Actually, yo can't dress that you want. It's not a law to dress like muslim woman, but you must use "modest" dress, and cover your legs and shoulders.
