I agree; it looks kind of strange, especially with shorter ones that end at the waist, because the lower half of the thawb tends to balloon out when the cardigan is buttoned/zipped. If you could find a longer cloak or something like that, it would go better. But with a white thawb, a darker color, like green, brown, black, grey, etc. would look good. I wouldn't pair white with a light color.

What one can do also is get a fleece or a loose (sports, hoody or dress) sweater that's at least one size bigger than you and then wear an Arab style ghutrah wrapped around your head or neck.

That way the thawb doesn't sort of appear to balloon out at the bottom because of the sweater's tightness.
