How to style abayas: shoes.
One of the most common issues we face when styling abayas is what shoes do I wear with this?
Flat trainers
We won't spend a huge amount of time on a classic staple. Everyone wears these, flat trainers steal the show for being the most comfortable, versatile and easy option. Flat shoes such as Adidas Sambas, Old Skool Vans or even Nike Dunks pair effortlessly with abayas, skirts and dresses. They have a sleek understated look that allows for comfort and ease without compromising on style.
Loafers


Loafers are an underrated, stylish shoe that complement long skirts and dresses beautifully.
Whether you work in an office or corporate environment, or just want to elevate your outfit easily, loafers are the perfect piece to incorporate into your rotation. Due to the myriad of different styles, they can fit easily into any person's wardrobe and suit every frame. Just pick one that works for you. From chunky soles, to slimmer styles, they come in various shapes and sizes and add a gorgeous sophisticated element to modest outfits.


Ballet flats

The large variety of materials, colours and price points make ballet flats a perfect staple when wearing skirts and long lines. Despite not being as comfortable as trainers, ballet flats add a lovely pop of colour or personality to everyday outfits. What they slightly lack in comfort, they more than make up for in style!


Heels
For special occasions only! Or maybe as you try to become a "casual heel wearer", high heels pair stunningly with abayas and dresses. The elegance of a pair of heels with a long beautiful abaya is unmatched. You can dress up abayas, skirts and dresses with ease, just match your bag and your hijab and you're good to go to any special occasion.
However do not underestimate the versatility of a heel. While gorgeous for weddings and events, a simple slingback or kitten heel can help elevate a simple office outfit into a special ensemble.


Boots
The comfort, versatility and style of a simple black boot is unparalleled. A pair of black boots with a heel of any size that feels comfortable for you can help smarten up any abaya or dress while maintaining a feminine and elegant look.
We love wearing them to the office but they work perfectly for running errands, brunch with the girls or just a nice walk in the cooler months. Opt for a high quality leather boot that doesn't pinch your toes to ensure you wear them over and over again.


Uggs
The weather outside is frightful but our Uggs are so delightful!
Get fun and cosy with your modesty and try a pair of warm Uggs. Perfect for the cooler months and ideal for anyone looking to stay comfortable all day long. Uggs come in a myriad of styles and heights all with their signature Ugg look. They pair adorably with abayas and add a special pop of personality to simple outfits.


Slippers, sandals, flip flops
Summer flats of any sort are the perfect hot weather shoe when wearing abayas. The ease and style of a simple slipper is perfect when you're not sure what to wear and just want something that works.
There are endless varieties of slipper and sandal shoes you can try at every price point. We love a Hermes (dupe) that have swiftly become a classic staple shoe in our summer rotation but definitely experiment with styles and colours that work for you. Their accessible price point means we end up with a few too many pairs to match with every dress!
