As it continues to get hotter in the UAE, and around the world, signaling the beginning of Summer, finding abayas that will keep you cool and comfortable can be a challenging task. Heavy fabrics and embellishments that used to be staples in the less warm months are a hassle to be wearing in the heat.
Thankfully, Summer abayas are designed to be elegant and luxurious, whilst being lightweight and perfect to keep you cool.
In this blog, we will be exploring what type of abayas you should choose this summer, and showcasing the top 10 picks from our summer abaya collection.
What makes an abaya suitable for Summer?
Lightweight fabrics are the most important thing to consider when shopping for a summer abaya.
Some examples include:
- Nada
- Dantel
- Chiffon
These fabrics are all light and breathable, making them the best picks for summer abayas. They are well-fitted for keeping modesty and elegance intact, whilst also keeping you cool.
What colors and styles are best for Summer?
Summer is a time when everyone starts wearing lighter, fun colors. Nada lace abayas are one of the most in-demand summer abaya styles. Printed chiffon abayas in summery prints, such as florals, also start getting popular.
However, some of the popular colors include:
- Beige
- Shades of Yellow
- Shades of Pink
- Shades of brown
- Shades of blue
- Shades of green
Black is still a choice during summer, and is purchased when an abaya is made of lightweight fabrics. When it comes to Summer styles, fabric matters more than colors.
However, as Summer is usually a time when everyone is on holiday, travelling, and having fun, colors and cute prints top the list.
What should you wear underneath a summer abaya?
Now that you know what fabrics and colors are good choices for a summer abaya, it is also important to think about what to wear underneath it so that you won’t be hot and stuffy.
Lightweight and breathable, sleeveless under abaya dresses are a popular choice. Our under abaya dress collection is a great place to find matching dresses for your abayas. Crafted with light premium fabrics, they are perfectly suitable to be worn as part of your summer outfits.
If you’re not fond of dresses, you could try lightweight two-pieces that are still modest and comfortable, and can be paired with your abayas.
