What is the best fabric for abayas?

The most sought-after fabric for abayas is royal crepe; it's lightweight, doesn't wrinkle easily, and withstands daily wear. For a more luxurious look for special occasions and evenings out, choose silk or satin abayas , as they offer a flowing silhouette and elegant sheen. And for colder weather, warm winter abayas provide warmth without the heaviness.

How do I know the right abaya size for me?

The size of your abaya depends primarily on your height. Measure from the top of your shoulder to your ankle and compare it to the size chart on the product page. Choose a length that falls a few centimeters below the ground for comfortable walking. If you're between sizes, go for the larger one— a slightly looser abaya gives a more elegant look than a tighter one.

I want an abaya that is suitable for work and daily errands, what do you recommend?

For everyday wear, choose abayas with practical cuts and lightweight, breathable fabrics. Opt for calming colors like black , navy, and gray, as they go with everything. Abayas with buttons or a front zipper are practical for work, and you can add variety to your look with a headscarf or a simple belt.
