Collection guide

How to choose your women's abaya

An abaya is chosen first and foremost for its drape, ease of movement and intended use. This selection brings together long, fluid silhouettes, with all the details you need to compare each style with confidence.

Which cut to choose?

A straight abaya offers a clean, easy-to-wear line. A kimono cut provides extra ease in the sleeves, while a structured abaya dress suits silhouettes looking for a more dressed-up finish. Always check the measurements and length indicated on the product page.

Material, opacity and season

Comfort depends on the weight of the fabric, its flexibility and its opacity. A lightweight material suits gentle days, whereas a denser fabric creates a clean drape. Photos, composition and care instructions help you choose according to your daily routine.

For everyday wear or a special occasion

For a daily outfit, choose an easy-to-layer cut and a versatile colour. For a ceremony, look closely at the finishes, sleeves and fabric details. The goal remains the same: an elegant piece in which you feel free to move.

Modern Abayas: trends and inspiration

The modern Abaya moves away from uniform cuts to incorporate contemporary fashion details: pagoda sleeves, contrasting panels, removable belts and asymmetric buttoning. More and more Muslim women are choosing the coordinated Abaya set (matching Abaya + Khimar) for a unified, refined look.

Abayas are now available in on-trend colours: terracotta, sage green, lavender blue and powder pink — well beyond traditional black. This evolution reflects the diversity of French and European modest fashion.

Frequently asked questions about the Abaya

What is an Abaya?

An Abaya is a long, loose dress worn by Muslim women to cover the body modestly. Originating in the Arabian Peninsula, it is worn over everyday clothing. The word comes from the Arabic « عباءة » (ʿabāʔah). It is now available in many styles — closed, open, kimono and butterfly — and is worn with a veil (Khimar or Hijab).

What is the difference between an Abaya and a Jilbab?

An Abaya is a long dress worn on its own or open, often with a separate Hijab or Khimar. A Jilbab is a more enveloping garment, generally made up of a cape (top) and a skirt (bottom), designed to cover from head to toe in one or two pieces. The Abaya offers more variety in style, whereas the Jilbab is intended for maximum coverage.

What is the difference between an Abaya and a Hijab?

An Abaya is a garment (a long dress) that covers the body, whereas a Hijab is a veil that covers the head, neck and sometimes the chest. They are two complementary pieces: the Abaya dresses the body, while the Hijab covers the head. Together, they form a complete outfit for a Muslim woman.

What is the difference between an Abaya and a djellaba?

An Abaya is a modest garment originating in the Middle East, worn mainly by Muslim women. The djellaba (or jellaba) is a traditional Maghrebi garment, worn by both men and women, often with a hood. The djellaba is more cultural than religious, while the Abaya is more closely associated with Islamic modest fashion.

How much does an Abaya cost?

The price of an Abaya varies according to fabric quality, finishing and brand. Expect to pay between 15 and 35 EUR for a good-quality affordable Abaya for everyday wear, 35-60 EUR for a premium style (Abaya Dubai, kimono), and 60-150 EUR for a Luxury Abaya or wedding Abaya with embroidery and pearls.
