With the Holy Month ahead of us, we can’t help but think about the things we are grateful for, even if it seems like the world is in a dark place right now. After all, at the end of the day, what really counts is that we’re in good health and of course, that we’re surrounded by our family. That said, even though we won’t get to do all the things we’ve wanted to do during this particular period, we’re also kind of lucky for being able to spend it with our loved ones, within small gatherings and more intimate dinners. Which begs the following question: how will you ever find the perfect balance between stay-at-home outfits and stylish ones? The answer is as simple as doing what seems the most obvious and comfortable for your mind and heart. If you feel like you need to dress up to the nines, then do it. If on the other hand, you feel like you need to be as comfortable as one could be, then tone it down a notch, and allow yourself to cope with all the changes around you.

And so, one of the easiest garments to wear during the Holy Month are the ever-so iconic Abayas. How to wear them and how to style them? Scroll down to find out more!

  1. The great thing about abayas is that they’re as versatile as a garment can be! So what you can do here is play with that factor by styling them with a pair of paired-down jeans, a casual tee and maybe some statement slides for a blazé effect.
  2. If you’re more of a dress or skirt type of person, then you needn’t worry. A abaya can add the perfect touch of class to your outfit by lending it a unique touch of modesty. Choose a midi skirt of your liking or a midi dress – preferably short-sleeved – and watch your look go from nay to yay in a split of a second.
  3. Make sure that your Abaya isn’t too far off from the rest of your outfit. Of course, we’re all for contrasting elements and creating a statement-worthy effect, but if the colors don’t match then you have a bigger problem there.
  4. Always have a more elegant Abaya with dark colors and more embellished elements decorating it available – who knows, maybe you’d like to pull out all the stops!
  5. If you’re a big fan of belts, adding subtle belt atop your Abaya can redefine your waist in more ways than others!
