Abaya
An abaya is a long, flowing robe traditionally worn by some Muslim women as a form of modest dress. It is typically black and worn over regular clothing, covering the body except for the face, hands, and feet.
There are many styles of abayas, ranging from simple and classic designs to more modern ones with embroidery, embellishments, or open-front variations. Some popular types include:
- Classic black abaya – A simple, elegant design.
- Embroidered abaya – Features intricate embroidery, often along the sleeves, hem, or neckline.
- Open-front abaya – Worn like a kimono or cardigan over other clothing.
- Butterfly abaya – Flowy and loose-fitting with wide sleeves.
- Dubai-style abaya – More stylish and trendy, often with lace or stone embellishments.
- Two-tone or colored abaya – Incorporates different shades or patterns for a modern touch.
