Abaya; A Fashion With Modesty

Traditional Abayas have now become increasingly a fashion statement although Abayas are long robe-like clothes donned by the strict followers of Islam to maintain modesty. The basic purpose of Abayas is to cover all women’s body in a way that only hands, face and feet are seen only. It is almost always coupled with any niqab or confront veil and often with prolonged dark-colored mitts.

Over the past few years or particularly since 2010, the fashion designers have caught the attention of the Abayas and are now consistently modifying it. And to a surprise there has been a good response for it not only from the Gulf side because they are Muslims but also from the European side such as France, Belgium, Italy etc. However, some of the Abbayas made by the fashion designers do not fulfill Islamic code because virtually every Abayaas made today is not of cotton but of chiffon, georgette etc which are light material and doesn’t help in executing Islamic rule of modesty for women. The usual Islamic Abayas are made up of cotton or much loved wool. And if we talk about color then the Islamic Abayas are mainly of dark colors and mostly are of jet black but the modern Designer’s Abaya comes in variety of colors such as purple, ink blue, white etc.

And as far as Décor is concerned, the modern day Abayas or the designer’s Abayas consist of beautiful adornments, carried out in single color or perhaps multi-colored thread as well as the rare metal thread. Designers eventually will be bringing number of brands throughout the world as Abaya Fashion. As this breed of fashion is slowly gaining the market, many fashion designers would want to make money and this will perform that task.

One brand which I have come through is hiba-styles that offer the best quality Abayas in the modern style and that too according to the Islamic code. So if you are looking for an Abbaya then hibastyles.com is a must place to visit
