Why is a hooded abaya so practical?

A hooded abaya protects your hijab and head from sudden rain and wind, so on many days you can leave the umbrella at home. When the hood is not in use, it rests on the back as a sporty detail. Gabardine hooded abaya: a dense fabric suited to rainy spring and autumn days. Wool-blend styles: keep you warm in winter while the hood blocks cold wind. Denim styles: sturdy and comfortable for daily wear.

What should I check before buying?

Make sure the hood is wide enough to slip easily over your scarf; a narrow hood can flatten it. Zip-up styles are quicker to put on, while buttoned ones look a little more polished. Find more cuts in our abaya collection, and for heavy downpours take a look at a raincoat.
