Let’s be real — summer can make getting dressed a bit annoying. You want to stay cool, covered, and still feel like yourself. But layering when it’s hot? No thanks.
This year, it’s not about doing the most. It’s about having a few solid abayas that you actually want to wear — light, comfortable, and easy to style.
If you’re building your summer wardrobe, these are the types of abayas that make sense in 2025.
You know the abaya you reach for when you don’t have time to think? That’s this one. Loose fit, soft fabric, not fussy. You just throw it on and go — errands, work, travel, school run, whatever. They’re all modest abayas that are chill but still look clean. You can belt them or wear them loose — up to you. They’re all modest abayas that are chill but still look clean.

A few that work:

Zadina’s Instant styles are good for this — easy to wear and available in nice tones. No pins, no stress. Just zip, style, and out the door.
Shop NowYou don’t need ten new outfits. Just two or three abayas that actually feel good in the heat — not too tight, not too thick, and easy to style your way.
Abayas in summer should make things simpler. A bit of airflow, a fabric that doesn’t cling, and colours that feel fresh.
If you’re updating your wardrobe right now, start with those three types. They’ll carry you through pretty much anything.
