The weather might not say it, but spring as we know it is officially here. Time to store the wool sweaters and turtlenecks for another season and dust off the pastels and the florals. And if you’re looking for new pieces to add to your rotation, don’t skip on these pieces.
Al Mraikn | 3-piece Abaya Set
Starting off with this subtle floral piece, this abaya works for any season and is an easy transition piece. The creamy white lace trim keeps it grounded in 2026 trends and caramel accessories tie in the look together. You can even go the butter yellow route or a pastel pink for a pop of colour.
Apple Wang | Floral-embellished Abaya in Crepe
For a white floral that’s more obvious, these 3D floral embellishments make this abaya pop out from more traditional pieces. With a lapel collar and structured tailoring, it leans towards a trench coat style abaya, so style this piece with chocolate brown boots; a croc-embossed finish would look even better!
Louzan | Bead-embellished Abaya
For the nights at Marsa Boulevard, this chic brown abaya keeps things nighttime friendly without being too dark. Opt for gold jewellery to complement the beading and white shoes and bag to brighten up the look for springtime.

An obvious springtime piece, this abaya is a statement piece all on its own. So, styling should be kept minimal to allow the abaya to shine through. For jewellery, opt for a pair of simple hoops and for purses, stick to a clutch.
Elna Line | Floral Applique Abaya
Continuing with statement-y abayas, this one might not be as loud, but with the right styling, it can grab the spotlight. Opt for a white or cream silk maxi dress to layer underneath the abaya, allowing the floral appliques to contrast. Let the purse and shoes match the dress underneath, and you have a polished look from head to toe!
Hessa Falasi | Zainah Cut Abaya in Poly-crepe
Beyond florals, spring is the season for colours to come out in full bloom, and Hessa Falasi sports plenty of pastel abayas to match that mood. Their pastel pink Zainah Cut Abaya works both as a monochromatic moment and as a dressed-down casual moment with a T-shirt and jeans.
Moukhmalie | Farida
Made with linen, styling this soft blue abaya means colour blocking it with its pink accents. It’s a simplistic colour combination, but it’s a no-brainer for a reason. We’re talking plush pink heels, a plain pink dress layered underneath, and a top-handle purse to go.
Hessa Falasi | Bead-embellished Abaya in Cotton-twill
And finally, a bright green piece to stand out among the grey clouds and dull rain. Green can be tricky to style, so stick with the neutral white. White pants or white denim will continue to keep the look bright, while silver accessories will complement the colours.
