Fabric and Design Features

Modest pleated abayas are defined by their vertical texture, which adds dimension without compromising on the loose-fitting nature of traditional abayas. Common materials include lightweight crepe and durable synthetic blends that hold pleats effectively over time. Whether you prefer a fully pleated design or subtle accents on the sleeves or hem, these garments provide a structured yet flowing aesthetic suitable for year-round wear.

Styling and Occasion Versatility

To style these pieces, consider the occasion. For formal events, pair a pleated abaya in a dark or jewel tone with a silk hijab and minimalist accessories. For daily wear, lighter shades like beige, mauve, or olive offer a calm, neutral look. Because the pleats provide built-in detail, they pair best with simple under-layers. During cooler months, these abayas can be worn over thin turtlenecks, while their breathable fabrics make them ideal for summer layering.

When selecting your size, focus on length and shoulder fit, as the pleated construction naturally allows for extra room through the body. Devr-i Tesettür ensures each listing provides specific details on fabric weight and drape, allowing you to make an informed decision based on your personal comfort and environmental needs.
