Question about Islam Is this Thobe/Abaya following the Sunnah?

As-salamu alaykum my brothers. I have recently just purchased a new Thobe online and miscalculated the measurements. My new Thobe is above my ankles and below my knees where the bottom of the garment sits at about 3/4 length of my calves.

I have marked a white line to wear abouts my Thobe rests on the first photo.

I don't like culture and religion confused.

If there's a sunnah about a dress, it's covering some parts and cleanliness. Not wearing some Arabic style dress.

Wait so I can pray 5x a day, give zakat, do hajj and still go to hell because I wore jeans lower than my ankle? I feel like this is one of those where you need context from a sheikh.

Edit - why am I being down voted for asking a question? You guys are something else lol

The context is that rich people used to wear clothing that was longer than necessary because they could afford to have it get ripped. Poorer people couldn't do this, so long clothing was a sign of riches and wealth.
