Summer and modest: a perfect combination
As temperatures rise, you want clothing that keeps you cool without compromising on style or modesty. A summer abaya is the solution. Airy fabrics and elegant details make the abaya the perfect summer outfit – whether you're going to a party, running errands, or just enjoying the sun.
The best fabrics for a summer abaya
Fabric choice is everything when it's hot. These are the best options:
- Silk – the queen of summer fabrics. Silk is naturally airy, regulates your body temperature, and feels wonderfully soft. Perfect for warm days and special occasions. Check out our Abaya Noor in white silk or the Abaya Maysa for a timeless summer look.
- Crêpe – lightly textured and breathable. Crêpe drapes beautifully, hardly wrinkles, and is ideal for daily summer wear. Our Abaya Jasmine and Abaya Nora are perfect examples of this.
- Polyester blend – practical and affordable. Easy to wash and quick to dry – handy for busy summer days.
Which colors work best in summer?
Light colors reflect sunlight and keep you cooler:
- White – fresh, elegant, and timeless. The Abaya Noor in white silk is an absolute summer favorite.
- Beige – warm and neutral, goes with everything. Check out the Abaya Desert Noir in beige crêpe.
- Black – classic and versatile. In this case, choose a lightweight fabric like silk to keep it wearable in the heat.
Summer abaya styling tips
A few tips to wear your summer abaya optimally:
- Opt for wide sleeves – they allow air to circulate and look elegant.
- Combine with light sandals for a casual summer look, or with heels for an evening appearance.
- Choose minimal accessories – a gold necklace or subtle earrings are enough.
