Clarke back in the running for cup

Darren Clarke's hopes of playing his way back into Europe's Ryder Cup team - and forcing Colin Montgomerie, the captain, to finding another assistant - have received a huge boost with an invite to the US PGA Championship for the second year running. Clarke is one of three vice-captains alongside Thomas Bjorn and Paul McGinley. He is 21st on the points table but has a chance of moving into the all-important top nine at this week's Irish Open in Killarney.

How to wear a kandura

Dos

Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion
Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work
Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester

Don’ts

Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal
Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
