Historically black and worn over clothing in public spaces, the abaya has evolved significantly in recent years, particularly across the GCC, where younger generations and designers have transformed it into a fashion statement while still respecting its cultural roots. Today, many women wear open-front abayas layered over jeans, tailoring, dresses or activewear, styling them more like lightweight coats or dusters. Luxury fabrics, embroidery, cutwork and contemporary silhouettes have made the abaya a major part of the region’s fashion industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"1088\"\u003eThe abaya is usually worn with a \u003cem data-start=\"785\" data-end=\"793\"\u003eshayla\u003c\/em\u003e — the lightweight scarf wrapped around the hair and neck — although styling varies from loosely draped to fully wrapped depending on personal preference, family tradition and occasion.
