What Is Abaya?

A loose-fitting, full-length outer garment, typically worn open-front or closed over daily clothing.

An abaya is a loose-fitting, full-length robe worn as an outer garment, typically open-front or closed, cut close enough through the shoulder and sleeve to show shape while remaining loose through the body. It's most commonly produced from Nida fabric at standard price tiers and crepe or premium blends for occasion and embellished ranges. Abaya is frequently confused with jilbab in cross-market sourcing, since regional naming conventions vary.
