How do you coordinate an abaya with inner dresses?

Coordinating the abaya with the inner dress is one of the most important secrets to a balanced and elegant look. No matter how luxurious the abaya is, its beauty is truly complete when it is paired with the right pieces.

With the piece underneath, whether for a simple dress or a formal look. At Fashion Style, we focus on providing solutions that help you achieve a perfect look easily and without exaggeration.


1. Plain undergarment dress – the safest and most stylish option

The plain dress (without patterns) is the most commonly used piece because it goes well with most abayas.


When do we recommend it?

  • When wearing an embossed velvet abaya
  • When wearing an abaya with clear details
  • For practical everyday looks
  • For simple formal occasions

Ideal colors:

Black – Beige – Gray – Navy – Olive


2. The underdress is in a color that matches the abaya (Tone-on-Tone)

A distinctive fashion that makes the look appear "expensive" and luxurious.

The idea is for the dress color to be very close to the abaya color, such as:

  • Olive abaya x dark olive dress
  • Navy blue abaya x midnight blue dress

The result: A smooth and harmonious look that elongates the figure and highlights the luxuriousness of the fabric.


3. The underdress with a slight contrast (Contrast Look)

If your abaya is a dark color, you can choose a dress in a lighter color to highlight the design.

example:

  • Black abaya x off-white dress
  • Navy blue abaya x light gray dress

The result: A modern and striking look without exaggeration.


4. Formal dress for special occasions and events

For special occasions, choose an underdress with a subtle sheen or a soft silk fabric, especially under velvet abayas.

Ideal for:

  • banquets
  • winter events
  • A sumptuous dinner
  • Content photography

Note:

It is recommended that the dress design be simple so as not to conflict with the abaya design.


5. Dress length… details make all the difference

The appropriate length for an undergarment should be:

  • Shorter than an abaya by 3-5 cm for the perfect look
  • Not too tight to avoid lines appearing under the abaya
  • Light in movement for a more harmonious look

6. Why do we recommend lingerie dresses to our clients?

Because:

  • It gives you freedom of movement and confidence
  • The abaya gives a more streamlined shape.
  • It completes the look without exaggeration.
  • It reduces transparency and increases luxury.

At Fashion Style, we design tailored underdresses to suit winter and soft abaya styles.
