The UAE, especially cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, is a fashion-forward hub where tradition gracefully blends with modern luxury. For Emirati women, the abaya is not just a cultural staple but a symbol of sophistication, creativity, and identity. Styling an abaya in the UAE involves embracing contemporary trends while honoring heritage. In this guide, Lusso Moda—known for luxury abayas designed by the talented Designer Hanan—shares expert tips to help you elevate your abaya styling in the UAE.
1. Go Bold with Cuts and Silhouettes
Unlike more conservative regions, the UAE offers greater flexibility in abaya design. Open front abayas, cape-style cuts, and kimono-inspired designs are all embraced in day-to-day fashion. Look for statement-making pieces that feature tailored cuts, structured shoulders, or flared sleeves.
Tip: Try our Belted Bloom abaya for office days and a sharp, monochrome design for events and dinners.
2. Experiment With Color Palettes
While black remains a staple, Emirati women love experimenting with hues—especially beige, olive, mocha, charcoal, and navy. Lusso Moda’s limited-edition luxury abayas in earthy tones are perfect for both formal and casual occasions in the UAE.
Style Suggestion: Pair a deep taupe designer abaya with soft gold heels for a classy evening look.
3. Statement Embellishments
Designer Hanan’s unique embroidery, delicate appliqués, and modern prints add artistic flair to each abaya. In the UAE, details like metallic threadwork, feathered sleeves, or crystal accents are perfect for events or Ramadan gatherings.
Look for: Minimal daytime embellishments and save ornate abayas for nights out or festive seasons.
4. Layering With Inner Dresses and Belts
Many Emirati women style their abayas with fashionable inner dresses or sets that peek through open-front designs. Add a matching or contrasting belt for a chic, structured appearance.
Layer Like This: Soft satin slip dress + sheer embroidered abaya + wide leather belt = elevated elegance.
5. Accessories that Shine
From oversized sunglasses to luxury handbags and pointed stilettos, accessories in the UAE are always polished. Choose elegant watches, subtle jewelry, and designer bags that complement your abaya without overpowering it.
Pro Tip: Gold accents are always a win in Emirati fashion.
6. Fabric Matters in the Desert Heat
The UAE’s hot climate means lightweight, breathable materials are essential. Lusso Moda abayas are designed using premium fabrics like nida, silk crepe, and satin—cool to wear and flattering in every season.
Evening Tip: Opt for heavier satin or velvet abayas for winter evenings or formal events.
