An abaya can be an everyday piece with a few seasonal tweaks. In spring, keep it light with breathable underlayers such as cotton jersey and add a thin scarf. Choose soft colors that pair with sneakers for school runs and errands.

Summer is about airflow. Look for abayas with side slits or pleats and choose unlined styles. A moisture wicking underdress helps on humid days. Stick to sandals or clean white trainers.

Fall brings texture. Add a ribbed turtleneck and tights under lighter abayas. Belt gently over the waist if you want shape while keeping coverage. Boots that hit mid calf keep proportions balanced.

Winter needs insulation. Use a heat tech base layer and a long wool coat over the abaya. A large scarf worn shawl style adds warmth and dimension. Choose sturdy boots with grip for snow. Keep accessories minimal so the abaya remains the focus.

Care matters in all seasons. Steam, hang, and store with cedar or lavender. When you treat an abaya like a core closet piece, it works year round and looks effortless.
