While fashion’s pendulum swings hard back into maximalism—feathers, sequins, and everything all at once—abaya fashion seems to be moving in the opposite direction. And honestly? It’s only fair after seeing all those heavy prints and embroidery.
Loud prints and embellished details are slowly giving way to cleaner lines and precise tailoring with the growing appetite towards something more refined. Today’s modest woman is drawn to pieces that feel luxurious, not because they’re dripping in pattern, but because the fabric, the fit, and the finish are just that sleek.
This is where Khatline sits beautifully. Established in 2020 and rebranded in 2025 as simply Khat, the brand has carved out its space in a movement that’s often likened to old money aesthetics. The rise of minimal abayas and kaftans is all about dressing with intention, and Khat delivers on that with ease.
Built around the philosophy of tailored modestwear that feels personal, the brand has gained a loyal following for good reason. Every piece is made to measure, so you’re not adjusting yourself to the garment—it’s crafted to fit you.
What makes Khat different is its attention to the things that actually matter: fabric, fall, and finish. You’ll find designs like The Willow, a breezy cream-toned abaya with a sleek drape finish. Then there’s The Jacket, a sleek cut that toes the line between traditional and chic, making it ideal for workwear or polished evenings out. The Butterfly is a brand signature—a flowing silhouette that moves with you.
The color palette speaks stories of earth, stone, dusk, and depth. Scroll through their feed and you’ll get it immediately. You’ll find muted olives, creams, burgundies, and the kind of soft neutral tones that just look luxe without actually being out of reach. These are pieces that build wardrobes, not just fill them. And in a market saturated with trends that come and go, Khat stays consistent by offering exactly what today’s modest dressers are craving.
The brand’s clean branding, subtle detailing, and curated Instagram visuals reflect a design language that will fit well into your wardrobe throughout the year.
And most importantly, Khat is proof that affordable luxury is no longer a contradiction. Their pricing reflects a desire to be accessible, without ever compromising on quality or identity. It’s a modestwear brand for the woman who dresses with clarity—and who knows that less done right will always give more.
