Why are summer abayas different from others?
Summer abayas differ significantly from winter abayas or abayas for special occasions. The main difference lies in the type of fabric and the design style. Summer abayas focus on:
- Lightweight fabrics allow for easy air circulation.
- Light colors reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it.
- Wide cuts provide freedom of movement and comfort
- Simple designs without layers or heavy details
When choosing a summer abaya, comfort is just as important as style. There's nothing worse than wearing a heavy abaya on a sweltering day when the temperature reaches 45 degrees Celsius.
