The abaya is regarded to be more than just a garment, it’s a symbol of modesty and tradition blending into modernity. Whether you’re new to abayas, or just curious, let us explain the difference between the two, and some tips on how you can style your abaya!
What’s the difference between an abaya and a dress
Both abayas and dresses are elegant in their own ways, but they serve different purposes when it comes to modest fashion.
An abaya is a flowy, loose garment, traditionally worn over clothing. They are designed to complete your look with a gorgeous, chaste finishing touch. Most commonly, abayas are sewn with an open front and they have a relaxed fit to allow for versatility and easy styling. However they can also be made with more buttons, or a closed front.
A dress is usually a one-piece outfit, made to be worn on its own. They can either be fitted or structured, while the abaya is intentionally loose fitting and meant to be draped as it is a modest piece of clothing.
The best thing about abayas is that you can style it however you like, and you’re not restricted to its structured style like you would be with a dress!
What do I wear underneath an abaya?
This question depends on the look and occasion!
The usual goal many women have is to stay comfortable, so having loose fabrics underneath an abaya helps a lot. A light slip-dress, or a matching coordinated set are common favorites.
