Whether it’s your first Eid or the 50th, an abaya is an endless piece of clothing that connects someone to their roots while allowing them to feel stunning.
What was once considered traditional has adapted into eye-catching modern styles. The demand for stylish modest wear fuels this boom in the Islamic clothing industry. There are now abayas with bold prints, embellished details, and pastel tones – endless options.
These days, modern Muslim women seamlessly integrate their faith and personal style into their daily outfits. In particular, the abaya has evolved from simply a religious garment to a means of self-expression. Today’s abayas come in stunning shades of dreamy blush pink with metallic accents to bold black, and are designed to turn heads.
