How to differentiate between everyday abaya and occasion abayas

The abaya represents an integral part of our identity, culture, and elegance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Some women find it difficult to differentiate between everyday abaya and abayas for special occasions, as clothing and abaya designs evolve, and new styles and styles emerge to present and customize them for each occasion. At Lomar, we will help you understand the key differences between the different types of abayas so you can make the right choice that guarantees comfort and elegance.


Daily abaya

The first factor that comes to mind when considering purchasing an everyday abaya—and one that should never be compromised—is comfort, without compromising on elegance. Daily abaya designs are perfect for your busy routine, whether you're going to work, shopping, or visiting family.


Fabrics and Abaya Designs

Everyday abayas are typically made from practical, lightweight fabrics and materials such as light crepe, linen, and cotton. These fabrics allow for breathability and comfort, unlike occasional abayas, which can restrict movement. Everyday abaya designs are simple and often feature loose, wide cuts.



Colors and finishes

The everyday abaya is often characterized by its neutral and classic dark colors such as black, navy, gray, and earth tones. It is free of embroidery and excessive ostentation and can have pockets and buttons in an elegant manner.


Occasion abayas

Occasion abayas are the abayas that can make you shine when the time comes, at weddings, events, and evening gatherings.


Fabrics and Abaya Designs

Unlike everyday abayas, occasion abayas are crafted from luxurious fabrics such as chiffon, silk, lace, and velvet, offering a luxurious and sophisticated look. Occasion-appropriate abaya designs feature innovative cuts that attract attention at parties and events.



Colors and finishes

Occasion abayas feature a variety of bold colors and shades, and abaya designs feature eye-catching details such as shiny metallic or crystal embellishments, something not often seen in everyday abayas.


How do you choose the most appropriate abaya for each occasion?

It's not that difficult. When choosing a daily abaya, all you have to do is focus on the fabric it's made from. The priority here is comfort and ease of movement while maintaining simple elegance .



But when choosing abayas for occasions, don't neglect the design and choose embellished abaya designs with bold colors that express your personality and highlight your presence.
