The abaya is one of the most versatile pieces in modest fashion. From casual everyday wear to stunning Eid looks, learning how to wear an abaya opens up endless styling possibilities.

Open vs Closed Abayas

Open abayas (kimono style) have an open front and are worn as a layering piece over your outfit. They add instant elegance to jeans and a top, a matching set, or any modest outfit.

Closed abayas are worn as standalone dresses. They provide full coverage in one piece — simple, elegant, and effortless.

Browse both styles in our abaya collection.

Styling an Abaya for Work

Choose a structured abaya in black, navy, or charcoal. Pair with a crepe hijab for a no-fuss professional look. Add a belt at the waist for structure if desired. Keep jewelry minimal — a simple watch and small earrings are perfect.

Styling an Abaya for Eid

This is your moment to go bold. Embroidered abayas, sequined details, rich jewel tones — Eid is the time to celebrate. Pair with a flowing chiffon hijab and statement jewelry. Browse our Eid collection for inspiration.

Styling an Abaya for Everyday

Throw an open kimono abaya over your everyday outfit for instant polish. It works with jeans, palazzo pants, or a simple dress underneath. Choose neutral colors for maximum versatility.

Styling an Abaya for Weddings

Look for abayas with elegant details — pleating, lace trim, or metallic embroidery. Satin fabric photographs beautifully and feels special. Pair with a silk hijab and your finest jewelry.
