Do you wear abayas? Which style/color do you prefer? Overhead, shoulder close etc? Traditional black or...?

Question

something else?

I like shoulder close if I am wearing something particularly pretty underneath and the color might peak through while walking...otherwise over the head is nice.

Answer 1

I used to when I lived in Dubai...
BUT... that was the only place I wore abayas... if I went to Iran... I switched to Manteau... =)

Black with work done on its sleeves... mostly closed completely at the front... but the collar had different designs... again... with work done on them =D
The work done... weren't anything fancy... just simple... I like simple =D

Answer 2

I almost exclusivly wear a black abaya. One design on it or another I hardly ever buy any other colors. I don't know why. I just feel more comfortable this way. I have one blue Jilbab that I dont't really care for, and one blue abaya that I never wear.

I am also considering the niqaab someday. I need some more time with that though, before I commit to it.

Answer 3

I wear abayas that are over head. I only have dark colors with a bit of design on them. I have one brown one which is ok but I do not prefer to wear it. In the house I wear sometimes a dishdash...

Answer 4

Yes. All of them are black but have some kind of decoration on them. Nothing obnoxious but cute. Some are overhead, shoulder close....I don't mind either style as long as the shoulder close have buttons that extent to at least my knees.
