Getting creative with colours has never been easier. With the whole palette up for grabs alongside prints, bold jewellery, and visible texture representing craft, we’re entering a loud fashion era. And juxtaposed with a hyperactive digital age, we’re welcoming the change that celebrates human-made colour clutter.
When it comes to abaya dressing, it also feels like the standard palettes have been exhausted. For a garment that makes the mind gravitate to monochromatic looks, we’re switching it up this season with contrasting accessories, hijabs, and other layers that integrate an abaya into a complete outfit rather than simply spotlighting the piece itself.
For those who relate to Cloud Dancer, this might not be for you. But for those ready to flex their creative muscles with colour theory, these are the abaya colour combos worth trying out this season.
Pink + Butter Yellow
Rather than seasonal, this bright palette works year-round, especially in this region. Brunches, casual coffees, and leisurely lunches are the ideal scenario to sport this colour combination.
Brown + Red
A more seasonal combination, consider adding denim blue jeans for an added contrast. And to complete the look, opt for bold gold jewellery.
Baby Blue + Burgundy
A combination that seamlessly transitions from day to night. For those who prefer to keep their abayas open, opt for burgundy pants and a white top to tie the look together.
Navy + Burnt Orange
This colour combination is hard to pull off but feels worth it when done right. Part of its difficulty is sourcing the right shades of orange. We recommend bringing out the pumpkin-coloured hijabs to pair with navy abayas and a suede heel for an added pop.
Grey + Blush Pink
Another daytime combination with a hint of moodiness, this works especially well with those with cooler skin tones. Silver accessories, including a metallic bag, add to the allure and make it edgier for nighttime as well.
Cream + Burgundy
Burgundy naturally becomes the colour of the season once the weather turns cold. But instead of revelling in its deeper shade, make it brighter and warmer with cream accents. Yellow-toned pearls are a great accessory to go with the combination and overall create a look that’s perfect for date night.
Denim Blue + Chocolate Brown
For the ultimate cosy but casual look, pair a chocolate brown abaya with denim blue. Our pick from Beige Collection is a natural open finish with pleats that bring the ease of everyday wear. Depending on the shade of denim, the look can add to the warmth of chocolate brown or disperse it quickly. Regardless, it still pulls a casual everyday look that never feels boring.
Red + Olive Green
We make the case for an eveningwear combination. While it’s easy to default to black and navy for an occasion, red and olive green still bring celebration without doing too much. The muted colours work seamlessly together and sequins and glossy leather bring all the drama needed.
