Classic Abaya Styles Are Here to Stay

Whether you follow the latest trends or try to keep up with the next “big thing”, classic abaya cuts and styles are always at the forefront of sales for most Abaya and Jilbab brands.

These timeless styles have been refined and perfected over the years to give the perfect fit and flatter all shapes and sizes.

Take the simple Premium Plain Abaya from KhaleejiAbaya.com. It comes in two styles: A Plain Abaya with Pockets or without, but the classic abaya design with a straight-cut flare does not change.

Jilbabs are another great example of this. Although overhead jilbabs and khimars are rooted in Islamic modest tradition, these are enormously popular throughout the Middle East and Islamic world. So it’s natural that women want to add a personal style to this essential garment. However, repeatedly you find that although there are small variations over the year in the cut and fastening of these cloaks, the basic style has stayed the same. Why change perfection?

The classic kaftan-cut abaya works for those looking for modesty and style in one garment. Fancy trims such as lace and stonework can be added to the sleeves and front of the abaya to add a touch of glam or individuality, whilst retaining the loose and flattering cut of the butterfly abaya.

There are so many new styles emerging as women become more independent and are leading more public lives. For example, the open-fronted abaya is essential for nursing mums or the fashion conscious wanting to flash their latest outfit underneath. But you will find that the classic abaya never gets boring or goes out of fashion. Take a look in your wardrobe- you will be sure to find a few classics lurking there.
