For fashionistas all over the world, it’s important not to let recent events get you down. The latest abaya designs should always help lighten the mood no matter how bad things get, because what is fashion if not an instant pick-me-up on days when things look bleak? Because we’re all about saying “no” to whatever puts a damper on your mood this year, we’re dedicating this blog post on modern abaya designs that put polka dots and pearls in the spotlight. After all, these two foolproof styles will never rain on your parade! 

To make sure that you stay on top of the game, abaya styles in your closet need to be fresh, fab, and fearless—and we’ve got the top picks to help you do just that:

1. Latest abaya designs: faux leather polka dots

Polka dots have always been the design of choice for keeping things light and chipper. It’s a fabulous way to break up monotone looks and an otherwise dull vibe. Because the dots—whether big or small—can help add visual interest to any piece, they can easily and effectively provide a certain level of depth and dimension to modern abaya designs.

Case in point: this fabulous Leathery Abaya comes in classic black, but the fun polka dots on the sleeves in faux leather can upgrade the timelessness of the basic colour to make sure it’s at par with the latest abaya designs. The kimono style cut plus the textured honeycomb sleeves help your outfit stand out because who says wearing monochromatic black has to be boring, right? Top that off with the high-quality Nida fabric and it’s sure to be a closet fave even when the year is over!

Bonus points for this piece include its visually interesting see-through sleeves and the matching corded tassel belt so you can wear it open or closed for the ultimate versatility—not to mention the belt helps emphasise your waist for a fabulous figure, too! Some flowy abayas have the tendency to hide your curves and make you look like you’re drowning in fabric, so matching sashes always do the trick to give you a flattering silhouette.

2. What are the newest abaya designs? More polka dots!

What are the latest abaya designs? There are so many styles to choose from, but what’s one trend that’s never going away? Here’s a hint: they’re fun, quirky, and always a perfect match no matter what kind of look you’re going for—plus, they’re perfectly in line with the newest abaya designs.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we just can’t stress this enough: polka dots can always swoop in and save the day! They’re often associated with ringing in the New Year, but it doesn’t have to be limited to that alone—after all, as a fearless fashionista, you should be all about challenging norms and experimenting with tired old looks to keep things fresh and spicy. So, when you’re thinking about how to revamp your closet in keeping up with the new abaya trends, polka dots are a surefire way of keeping things interesting no matter where you’re headed off to.

This Polka Abaya may be all plain and simple in classic black, but the white polka dots on the tulle bell sleeves don’t lie—it’s definitely an eye-catcher as you stand out from a sea of blacks out there. The latest abaya trends don’t have to be overly loud, either. All you really need is a telling detail or two, and polka dots on sleeves can help you do that and more.

3. Pretty pearls to pump up your abaya styles

We promised we’d be all about the pearls too, so yes, the newest abaya designs in this blog won’t be complete without these sparkling little beauties. Pearls say so much with so little, whether they’re larger-than-life or subtly scattered all over any plain piece. They also help elevate the latest abaya trends to make sure you can wear them to special occasions and fancy events without resorting to unnecessary accessories along the way. 

How do pearls level up the newest abaya designs? This Pearl Abaya Black made from al-Madinah silk is comfy and breezy with its loose batwing sleeves embellished with dazzling faux black pearls. They’re scattered across the piece in just the right amount without going overboard with the bling because sophistication is always subtle. It also features a hidden zipper on the front, so you have the option of wearing it closed for chillier nights or open to show off whatever you're rocking underneath.

Don’t be fooled by the pearls, either! Just because they’re there doesn’t mean you can't pick this ensemble for casual everyday wear. Modern abaya designs should be practical too—after all, investing in a piece you can only wear once isn’t very budget-friendly. This piece can definitely keep things easy on the wallet since it's just so flexible!
