Modest Fashion Essentials: How to Choose an Abaya and Hijab

Modest fashion is about wearing what makes you comfortable and confident. With a few simple rules you can build a small wardrobe that works for daily life, work and celebrations.

Choose the fabric first

Nida and crepe fall smoothly and are comfortable in most weather. Chiffon and georgette hijabs feel light and are easy to style. If you wear an abaya for long hours, avoid stiff or heavy fabrics.

Start with a few colours

Deep tones such as plum and navy are versatile for daily wear, while white suits Eid and special gatherings. The Plum Abaya with Hijab and the White Abaya with Hijab are easy starting points.

Let the hijab add colour

A plain abaya looks new every day with a different scarf. A Gold Chiffon Hijab brightens a dark outfit, a Blue Printed Hijab adds pattern, and a Black Georgette Hijab is a dependable basic.

Practical tips

• Check the length against your height before ordering.
• Pin your hijab lightly and use an under cap if it slips.
• Iron on low heat, and check the label first.
