Fashion

What fashion taste do you have? While showing some skin is often included in the famous clothing trends, a lot of women are actually into modest apparel like long maxi dresses, tea length dresses, or rather the more traditional attire like the Abaya.

Although the Abaya is often associated with ladies coming from the Middle East and those that follow the Islam religion, there are individuals that wear it simply because they find it comfortable and stylish. Although the clothing may cover most parts of the body, the designs, colors, patterns and embellishments of the abaya make it wearable in all occasions.

There is no need to sacrifice comfort and style in the Abaya. Make sure of the following when you are choosing your cloak-like dress:

• The materials the Abaya is made of are appropriate for the current season and the local climate. Go for fabrics like cotton, nylon, polyester and silk during hot days. Pick something made of cable-knit wool or cashmere for the cold weather.
• The fit should be perfect for you. Although the Abaya is designed not to be form-hugging, it must not be too loose that there is an extra amount of fabric your body must carry. It should not be too long as well that you trip while wearing it.
• Purchase only from a trusted manufacturer, retailer or importer to ensure that you get a high quality Abaya.
• If you are going to order online, see to it that the website is reliable, and that the products look exactly the same as they do in the product gallery.

There is more to Abaya than meets the eye. It is not just a long robe. You are actually protected from the harmful rays of the sun, pollution and even catcalls when you wear it.
