Many Muslims celebrate Eid by dressing up with their best clothes and going out to meet friends and relatives while looking and smelling good. For women, especially, Eid is not just a day for celebration but also a day to dress up and showcase their style.
Here are 5 modest ways to slay to Eid in 2023:
Abaya is a loose, long-sleeved dress that falls at least to the mid-calf and covers everything from the shoulders to the toes. It also has a top opening for the head and a slit on one side of the garment so you can walk around without tripping over it. Some even have front-facing buttons.
Abaya's are a common wardrobe staple for many Muslim women and can easily be styled with a classic veil and other accessories.
There are also many different types and styles of Abaya's to pick from. This includes: Batwing Abaya, Classic Abaya, Maxi Abaya, Sheer Abaya, Embroidered Abaya, Beaded Abaya and so on.
The kaftan is an ancient garment that originated in Persia and spread throughout Central and Western Asia. It was a type of robe or tunic worn by both men and women. Kaftans are still worn in various ways today.
Kaftans were introduced to Morocco by Andalusian refugees from Iran during the early Islamic period. It can be elegantly worn and styled for a variety of occasions.
Modest dresses are garments that cover the skin while remaining comfortable and stylish. This can be done with a wide range of materials and in a variety of styles. You can purchase ready-made modest dresses or have one made to your specifications.
This is another abaya style, but this one is made with Ankara or African prints. When combined correctly, Ankara Abaya exudes all shades of class, poise, and sophistication. The Ankara Abaya style, as simple as it appears, is a game changer.
