What is an abaya?
An abaya is a long dress with long sleeves, worn over or instead of a regular outfit. Its loose cut doesn't cling to your figure: that's what makes it the go-to piece of modest fashion, from everyday outings to prayer.
Often paired with a hijab, it now comes in a wide range of fabrics, colours and details — pockets, two-tone panels, front fastenings — to suit every style.
Satin, two-tone or with pockets: our abayas
The satin abaya has a soft, subtly glossy fabric and a front fastening: an elegant choice in black, beige or sand. The two-tone abaya pairs two harmonious shades (pistachio and pink, black and burgundy, purple and blue) for a more modern look.
Finally, the abaya with pockets adds two deep pockets on each side: the ultimate practical piece for everyday wear, without giving up a flowing cut.
What size abaya should I choose?
Our abayas come in one size, which fits EU sizes 34 to 44. The loose cut and long sleeves give you real freedom of movement without clinging to your figure.
The detailed features of each style are listed on its product page to help you choose.
How to style your abaya
For everyday wear, pair your abaya with trainers or ballet flats and a matching hijab. For a special occasion, go for a satin abaya, a chiffon hijab and a few understated pieces of jewellery. A black or beige abaya remains the easiest base to match.
When it's cooler, layer a knit cardigan on top: your look stays covered and elegant.
An abaya for Ramadan and Eid
Ramadan and Eid are the perfect moments to treat yourself to a new abaya. A loose, comfortable abaya sees you through long evenings of prayer, while a satin or two-tone style adds a festive touch for Eid. Remember to order a few weeks ahead so it arrives in time.
Caring for your abaya
Always follow the care label on your abaya. As a general rule, a gentle wash at a low temperature, inside out, preserves the colour and drape of the fabric. Dry on a hanger to limit creasing, and iron satin fabrics inside out at a low temperature.
