Abaya

The abaya is far more than a long dress. At anaaz. store, we have brought together a selection of styles designed for Muslim women who want to combine modesty, elegance and comfort in everyday life. Whether you are looking for a classic abaya, an embroidered long dress, a loose-fitting set or a practical jilbab, this category offers pieces suited to every moment, from casual outings to special occasions.

The abaya is a traditional garment worn by many Muslim women around the world. It is a long dress, often loose-fitting, that covers the body while allowing great freedom of movement. Although the abaya originally comes from the Gulf countries, it has now been modernized and adapted to different lifestyles. In our shop, you will find abayas inspired by tradition, such as the satin butterfly styles, as well as long dresses with contemporary details, two-piece sets and jilbabs designed for everyday wear.

Our selection covers a wide range of styles to suit every taste. You will find the butterfly abaya, loved for its flowing, loose cut, ideal for those who like comfortable clothing. Hand-embroidered evening abayas or those adorned with contrasting details add a refined touch for celebrations, Ramadan or Eid. For a more relaxed style, women’s sets made up of a loose top and a long skirt, or button-up long dresses, are perfect for every day. Styles in satin, stretch jersey or thick cotton let you vary the fabrics according to the season and the occasion.

Choosing an abaya depends on several criteria: the fabric, the cut, the season and, of course, your preferences. For summer, opt for light, breathable fabrics such as satin or jersey. In winter, thick cotton sets or long dresses with wide sleeves offer warmth and comfort. In terms of cut, the butterfly abaya suits all body shapes thanks to its loose shape, while belted long dresses or those with pleated details highlight the waist while remaining modest. If you are looking for an outfit for a special occasion, embroidered abayas or evening styles are the best choice. For everyday wear, sets with a long skirt and loose top or jilbabs with a hood are practical and easy to wear.

To choose your abaya well, it is important to consider your size and body shape. Most of our styles are designed to offer a loose, comfortable fit, but some, such as long dresses with an adjustable belt, let you define the silhouette as you wish. If you are unsure between two sizes, it is better to choose the larger one to keep your freedom of movement. Feel free to consult our size guide to find the cut that will suit you best.

The abaya adapts to every situation. For prayer, loose, fully covering styles such as the jilbab with a hood or the jersey set are perfect. For outings, a satin butterfly abaya or a long dress with contrasting details adds a touch of effortless elegance. Hand-embroidered evening abayas are ideal for celebrations, weddings or big occasions. Finally, comfortable thick cotton sets are perfect for autumn and winter, at home or on casual outings. Yes, even for popping out to buy bread.

It is not always easy to tell the difference between an abaya, a jilbab and a set. The abaya generally refers to a long, loose dress, worn on its own or with a hijab. The jilbab, on the other hand, is a covering set made up of a khimar (long veil) and a skirt or a dress, designed to offer maximum coverage, particularly during prayer. Women’s sets combine a loose top with a long skirt, for a versatile, modern look. At anaaz. store, you will find all three types of outfit, each suited to a specific use.

The choice of fabric plays an important role in the comfort of your abaya. Our styles are available in soft satin for a chic look, in stretch jersey for maximum everyday comfort, or in thick cotton for cooler days. Each fabric has its advantages: satin brings a flowing drape and elegance, jersey moves with you, and cotton offers warmth and softness. It is up to you to choose according to the season and your preferences.

To keep your abaya in good condition, we recommend following the care instructions given for each style. In general, hand washing or a low-temperature machine wash is enough to preserve the quality of the fabrics and embroidery. Avoid the tumble dryer for satin or embroidered styles, and prefer air drying.

At anaaz. store, every style is designed to fit your life, whether for prayer, outings or big occasions. If you are unsure about the size or cut, our customer service is here to help you make your choice.
