Open Abaya vs Closed Abaya – Which One Is Right for You?

 Open abaya or closed abaya? Learn the difference, styling tips, and how to choose the right abaya for your lifestyle with Mulaabis.


Introduction

If you’ve ever shopped for abayas online, you’ve probably wondered:
“Should I choose an open abaya or a closed abaya?”

At Mulaabis, we believe the right abaya should match your lifestyle, comfort, and personal style. Let’s break it down in a simple way so you can decide what suits you best.


What Is an Open Abaya?

An open abaya is worn like a front-open coat and styled with an inner dress or top and trousers.

Why women love open abayas:

  • Easy to style and layer

  • Perfect for casual and formal looks

  • Gives a modern, elegant feel

  • Great for working women and outings

At Mulaabis, our open abayas are designed to be flowy, modest, and stylish—perfect for everyday wear.


What Is a Closed Abaya?

A closed abaya is worn as a single piece, just slip it on and go.

Why closed abayas are a classic choice:

  • Simple and effortless

  • Ideal for prayer, travel, and daily wear

  • Offers full coverage

  • Very comfortable and modest

Many women prefer closed abayas for their ease and timeless appeal.


Which One Should You Choose?

Honestly? There’s no wrong choice 😊
It depends on how and where you plan to wear it.
