If there’s one abaya style that has completely transformed modest dressing in Dubai, it’s the open abaya. This design, which layers over inner garments, has become a must-have in every wardrobe because of its versatility. It’s the kind of piece you can wear to work, style for an evening out, or throw on casually for errands. With the right styling, the open abaya can truly transition from day to night effortlessly.

For daytime, the focus is on comfort and ease. Pair an open abaya with a modest dress or slim trousers and a simple blouse. Neutral tones work perfectly for the day as they exude elegance without drawing too much attention. Lightweight fabrics in the open abaya collection are especially practical for Dubai’s warm climate.

Butterfly abaya styles with dramatic sleeves can also work during the day if you want to elevate your casual look. The butterfly abaya is especially great for women who love flowy silhouettes but still want something fashionable enough for coffee catch-ups or client meetings.

When the sun sets, transitioning your open abaya to a night look is all about adding accessories and statement pieces. Wedding abaya pieces with luxe embellishments serve as inspiration here. A black or deep jewel-toned wedding abaya can be layered with sparkling jewelry or heels to instantly make your outfit dinner-ready.

You can also opt for abaya and kaftan dresses that work beautifully for evening events. These dresses merge comfort with sophistication, giving you a polished look without sacrificing modesty.

Of course, no abaya outfit is complete without accessories. Coordinating hijabs and niqabs can transform a daytime neutral look into an evening chic ensemble simply by switching to luxe fabrics like silk or chiffon.

Styling the open abaya is about adaptability. With the right layers and accessories, you can go from professional to glamorous without needing to change your entire outfit. Abaya Vida makes this easy with collections designed for every part of a woman’s lifestyle.
