Do you wear abayas everyday or do you love to put on an elegant abaya on occasion? In both case, there are tips to follow to make sure you choose the right abaya for your outfit.
Have a look at these 10 helpful fashion tips for choosing the perfect abaya!
1. The perfect length
One important thing to know about abayas, is that they are measured in length. So, the sizing options (S, M, L, XL, XXL) will change the length of your abaya. When selecting your size, make sure to check the length so that it suits you. Knowing this will save you from getting draped under your own feet!
The best way to make sure your abaya fits you correctly is by measuring through the shoulder right down to the foot.
Are you often wearing heels? Keep that in mind when you choose your overlay. It is important to find the length that will perfect for both flats and heels.
2. The flattering fit
Abayas are available in different shapes. There are closed abayas, open abayas, with or without belt, with ruffles for fluffiness, kimono types and much more... Knowing your body type is crucial when choosing an abaya. This will help you choose an abaya with a flattering fit for you.

3. The right sleeves
Sleeves play a huge part in the overall look of your abaya. It is important to notice the differences in sleeves as there are various kind. A fancy abaya will usually have wide and detailed sleeves. While an everyday abaya, would have more simple, fitted sleeves. You wouldn't want to pick wide sleeves for your everyday life because they might get stuck in doors, for example.

8. The details
"Details make perfection, and perfection is not a detail." - Leonardo Da Vinci
Details are not to be forsaken. Details will make a big difference in your outfit. Selecting a design with gorgeous work like hand-crafted embellishment or beads on the sleeves will add additional glamour to your modest outfit. And you will certainly stand out.

9. The finishes
You might think "do people actually notice wrinkled clothes?". The answer is yes! If you wish to look your best in your beautiful abaya, your clothes must always be well-ironed / steamed and never wrinkled as you will otherwise look shabby.
Be sure to maintain your clothes looking brand new by steaming them and putting them on a hanger if possible. It could make an old abaya appear to be new and will make any outfit stand out for the finish that is certainly perfect.
Ensure that you not steam it too hot, or else you might destroy the fabric.
10. The occasion
Choosing the perfect abaya for a special event can be tough. The best way is to ask your friends/family with whom you're going how they plan on dressing. That way, you can plan accordingly and choose a stunning piece that is set to wow.
You shouldn't be afraid to style modestly! Play around by adding accessories, matching or same tone hijab, colorful heels and more... Be creative! Life is too short to have boring clothes.
