What is an Abaya? An Abaya is the long, usually black, shapeless garment that women are required to wear in Saudi Arabia and around the Gulf. It is also worn in other countries throughout the world especially in Nigeria, but it is not a requirement. The purpose behind the Abaya is to conceal the shape of a woman’s body and protect her modesty.
Perks And Benefits Of Wearing Abaya
1. It’s convenient – you don’t have to waste time to think of what to wear it with. Just put it on and pick whatever hijab because black goes with anything.
2. Stress-free - You know sometimes when you wear a blouse with a skirt/jeans you’re afraid your blouse might get stuck to the waist part of your skirt/jeans and it will show off your butt? That never happens with an Abaya (it’s even perfectly fine if you’re walking up the stairs and there’s a guy behind you!)
3. Saves money (more like curbs your desire to buy clothing accessories).
4. It’s comfortable – come on now, abayas are really comfortable. No need for further explanation.
5. It makes you look thin – It does.
6 . If you get married and get pregnant, you don’t have to buy maternity clothes. (or nursing clothes because a lot of abayas have the button in the middle kinda thing)
7 . You look ready for any occasion – Just got back from the supermarket? You realize there’s a wedding you need to attend? No worries, abayas are suitable for every occasion.
8. Its Fashionable and Modest – Like they say, you don’t have to show your body to show how beautiful you are. Wear the abaya, stay elegant and decent. You could from a variety of colours that suits your person and fashion sense.
