Plain Abayas

One of the main pieces in any modest Muslim woman's wardrobe is the traditional plain abaya.

Just because your abaya is plain, it doesn’t have to be boring. There are many ways you can put your individual style on a plain abaya, reflecting your personality whilst keeping within religious guidelines.

You could choose to match your hijab or khimar with the colour of your plain abaya. Alternatively, opt for headwear in a contrasting colour, or featuring patterns or embellishments.

Accessories, such as bags and shoes, in a contrasting colour can turn the classic look of a plain abaya into something a bit more edgy.

And don’t forget it’s important that what you choose to wear underneath your plain abaya, makes you feel comfortable and confident for the day ahead.

However, even with closed abayas, avoid too many layers as this could make you feel uncomfortable.

If you choose to wear an open plain abaya, then there are plenty of ways to create a chic style. Choose to pair your plain open abaya with a simple jilbab or loose dress, wide legged trousers or even a colourful maxi skirt.

As the Gaelic proverb says, “Modesty is the beauty of women.” A plain abaya is worn as a badge of modesty by women around the globe.

When a lady leaves her home, the plain abaya is worn over her clothing. It is designed to fit loosely, to disguise the curves of the female form. Plain abayas are floor length and feature long sleeves to ensure the entire body is covered.

In the Middle East, plain abayas are especially suitable for the high temperatures and dusty local weather. However, women all over the world love to wear the plain abaya, as they are available in a range of fine fabrics that create a sophisticated look that’s so easy to wear.
