One of our favorite ways to style velvet abayas is to go for a monochrome look. This styling tip instantly elevates your outfit and helps your hijab blend in seamlessly with the rest of your outfit. Alternatively, a black velvet abaya is a perfect base for you to contrast a bright hijab against. We love the idea of a pastel or floral printed hijab styled with a velvet abaya.
Keep it monochrome for an understated look, and go for a contrasting color if you want to have some fun with it!
If you want to give your velvet abayas a more tailored look, you can add a belt to accentuate your natural figure. It’s always best to pick a belt that it’s the same color family as your velvet abayas, and it’s the perfect opportunity to tie all your accessories together with a statement piece. If your velvet abaya features pearl detailing, then a thin pearl belt will perfectly finish off your look.
