How to Choose the Right Abaya for You

A simple guide to choosing an abaya that suits your shape, your occasion and your season, in a few easy steps.

01Start with the occasion

For everyday wear choose something light and easy, such as pleated plissé. For evenings, a fabric with a soft sheen or delicate embroidery.

If you want one abaya for everything, pick a calm colour like black or navy.

To define the waist, choose a belted model like Sylva: the belt shapes without squeezing.

For complete comfort, a wide cut that falls from the shoulder, like Malakiya.

Turkish winter jacquard is thick and warm, and its motif looks rich on its own.

Plissé is light, resists creasing and travels well.

Deep colours such as black and olive read formal and elegant. Light colours such as mint and beige feel soft and fresh.
