No Ramadan style moodboard is complete without billowy abaya sets, sparkling floral makaawers, and perfectly matched sheiylas to tie it all together. And honestly, if you think about it, abayas are the ultimate Ramadan cheat code, no one needs to see those Hello Kitty pyjamas when you’ve got impeccable Qatari craftsmanship covering it all. Perfect for those days when you have to leave the house… but are seriously questioning if you really need to.
And before the inevitable wave of abaya inspo takes over your feed, we’re spotlighting the region’s homegrown talents. Because if there’s ever a time to celebrate designers shaping modest fashion on their own terms, it’s now.
