.: Eid Abaya Styles

Salaam Guys! I hope you are all well.

Ramadan is almost over and Eid is approaching us very fast. I have to say that this year has gone so incredibly fast to a point that's it gets kinda scary. Don't you guys feel the same way? I mean all I remember was that it was winter 2012 and then the rest is all a blur.

Anyway, I'm sure you guys might be thinking about what you'll be doing on Eid, spending time with family and friends I hope :) it's always more fun that way. Eid clothes are another thing we all look forward to. One of my favourite pieces of clothing is an abaya, it's one of the most modest and simple garments to wear, and the best thing of all is that they come in all different styles and colours

I put together three different types of styles to look out for.

1. This style of abaya is called the butterfly abaya (yes, you heard it right :p ) Or the bisht abaya. It's wide from the sides ( a bit like a cape) and is extremely modest and very stylish. This particular one is from the website called Akhawat, they have really beautiful abayas that are inspired from the middle eastern abaya style.

2. This type of abaya has a more modern feel to it all by playing around with different colours and styles. This is from the Inayah website, they have the most beautiful, sophisticated, modern abayas and dresses. I get a very Zara- like feel which I absolutely love.

3. Another style is the ones that have beautiful embroidery on the sleeves that make it look really elegant. You could also wear it with a matching scarf to finish the look.

There are also ones that have detail in the middle of the abaya which is similar to the butterfly abaya but have a gathering in the middle instead. These particular ones are from a website called Sheikha, this website is by far the more affordable of all that were mentioned and have great styles and dresses.

It is also best to visit those stores that sell abayas on the normal streets. Don't neglect those, they have amazing styles of abayas at reasonable prices. I underestimated them and was amazed at what they had.

On a final note, I hope you all had an wonderful Ramadan and I hope you have an amazing Eid too inshallah-Allah.

Take care xx
