Guidance of Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam regarding clothes was the best guidance, the most beneficial for the body and the easiest to wear and take off.
Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam used to wear an outer garment and IZAR (which covered the body), as these types of clothes are the softest on the body. He liked to wear QAMEES (shirt), which was preferred by him.
What Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam used to wear was the most beneficial for the body, as his clothes did not have excessively long or wide sleeves. Rather, the sleeves were to the wrists and would not be longer than the hand, as this would make them harder to wear and to move about easily. Further, the sleeves were not shorter than what we have described, so as not to expose the hands to the cold and heat.
His Qamees (shirt) and garments did not reach the ankles and would usually reach the middle of his legs. Otherwise, if the clothes are longer, they will restrict the movement and make one feel restrained.
Our beloved Prophet's turban was not excessively big, so that it did not harm the head. It was not very small either, otherwise it would not be sufficient to protect the head from the heat and cold. It was medium in size, and he used to pass a part of it under his chin to protect the neck from the heat and cold and to keep the turban firmly on the head when tiding his horse or camel and when in battle.
Many people use some type of braces instead of passing the turban under the chin, although the two methods cannot be compared in terms of benefit or even beauty.
When one thinks about the types of clothes that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam used, he will find that they are indeed among the best for the body and health and the farthest from extravagance and difficulty to wear.
Most of the time, Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam used to wear Khuff (socks) while traveling; because the feet would need such types of foot covering to fend off the effects of heat & cold. Sometimes he would use the Khuff when he was not traveling.
The best colors that Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam used to wear were white and stripedgarments. He did not wear all red, black or dyed garments.
As for the red garment, Prophet Muhammad Sallallaho Alaihe Wasallam was reported to have worn; it was a Yemeni garment that had black, red, and white stripes.
