Furry fuzz for your winter Abaya wardrobe











Fur definitely adds more than a touch of warmth to your outfit perhaps a feel of a little luxury? This season is all about texture. From sequins to tweed to fur. Even if the rest of your outfit is low-key,  any fury touch to your outfit will add a little pop. From key outfit pieces to accessories, fur is a trend that will carry you through to next year.
 Fur accessories are the perfect way to add some twinkle to your abaya outfits without  being overpowering. Fur handbags instantly adds a chic vibe.  The high street is full of affordable yet totally gorgeous pieces. With sales in place what better way to update your wardrobe and start the new year in style. Here are a few pieces we’ve been eyeing!
1. Rose Faux Fur Twistlock Crossbody bag – Dorothy Perkins £25.00 now £15.00.
We just love the fact that this bag can be used as a shoulder bag or crossbody. The size and style is perfect for a casual day out or with friends. This would be a perfect addition to our classically umbrella abaya. Add a gillet for that extra oomph!
Recommended Abaya: Classically Umbrella

2. Fendi: LARGE PEEKABOO
From the iconic Peekabo collection by Fendi, the Peekaboo bag is known for its unique design. Some say it has been named after the childhood game ‘peek a boo’. This bag is available in many variations over the years. They are often carried with the front open, revealing the inner lining of the bag (as seen below). The bag has got the likes Gwyneth Paltrow, Blake Lively, Adele and many more celebs. Fendi has also caused controversy for the use of real fur and animal derived material for their products. This particular bag is a combination of fur and calfskin. The bag opens at the top and has a large compartment for personal items. How would you wear this bag? Would you be excited to carry this stylish yet functional designer piece or opt for faux fur day to day fashion?

3. Pink Faux fur tote bag – New Look £34.99 now £20.00
Its Pink and its fur- what’s not to like? Totes are just another form of handheld bags. Unlike crossbody bags they are quite spacious. Whilst crossbody bags are perfect for essentials, totes are widely used for carrying larger items. They are fashionable as well as functional. Our pink abayas are just screaming out to be accessorised with this pretty pink number.
Recommended Abayas: Pink & Pink Sun


4. Blue contrast faux fur bar top bag – New Look £19.99 now £7.00
A combination of blue, black, fur, leather (faux) all in one. The bold mixture of textures of fur and leather adds a certain punk feel whilst the bar detail adds a polished edge. Sync this bag with our feline abaya  for a dressy look. The pattern on the cuffs complements the fur beautifully and will easily bring your outfit to trend.
Recommended Abayas: Feline or  Subtle Elegance for super chic-ness

5.  Cleo Frame Clutch Bag- Fiorelli £49.00
Stylish and sophisticated. This party essential is made from black faux fur and is designed for high end feel. The shape is so unique and appealing. If it is the appealing look you are after then our Coco shimmer abaya  is most definitely worthy of your attention. The gorgeous cascade of shimmering crystals on neck and arms lends to the golden Fiorelli details on the clutch. A beautiful combination for any evening event. Mocha Luster is also a viable option  if you are searching for a fashionable alternative. This open garment is simply alluring. Layering and capes are sought after this season. The brownish shimmer and the delicate paisley cut out details adds to the drama and compliments the bag beautifully.  Made from a lightweight flowing material, this abaya flows behind you as you walk.   
Recommended Abayas: Coco Shimmer and Mocha Luster


6. Fi – Fi Faux Clutch – Coast £19.00
Switch up your style  from day to evening with this playful dark blue faux fur clutch. We love the simplicity of this clutch which makes it easy to wear with just about anything. Our Blue abaya seems to be the obvious choice. The black sheer pretty floral lace sleeves paired with this uncomplicated clutch adds a modern vintage twist to the outfit. An effortlessly styled look! more on day to night pieces here.
Recommended Abaya: Blue

Day to Night Outfits: Floaty Florals








With December being the month of holidays and get-togethers, we wanted to bring you an ensemble that would take you from day to night with minimal effort, without wardrobe dilemma.   Choosing versatile pieces that can be easily dressed up or down is the key for day to night outfits. They are a perfect blank canvas for personal expression. With an addition of few stylish accessories trending this season, you are good to go. 

 Just to show how easy it is, we have paired one our favourite this season the Efflorescence Abaya with a fashionable blanket coat. The high street is bursting with stylish cover-ups, perfect for keeping out the cold. Capes and oversized blankets are the ultimate throw on and go this season. Make sure to take advantage of this trend. It is an absolute for all the modest dressers out there!

The Efflorescence Abaya has a classic cut and features a mixture of black velvet and silver ribbed flowers. Styled with beautiful jewel pumps and soft black tote makes this a practical yet chic winter look. Shimmer your way into the evening by simply swapping for heels and a sequenced bag  for an on trend evening look. Sequins and embellished detailing is a huge trend this season. Don't be afraid to add sparkle to your black gowns.

Cold weather doesn't mean it is all doom and gloom for our winter wardrobes. We are loving the current trends and with the sales on early we cannot wait to hit the high street. We hope to have left you feeling fabulous both day and night with our Abayas :)

This season we introduced a new edge to our collection with the Umbrella cut. This cut addresses sophistication and style in one. Made from light, silky flowy material they features a gathering at the neck that widens at the bottom with full flare. Whether the occasion calls for Formal, Informal or Elegant casual, these abayas certainly play the part. The collection ranges from simple to tailored and contemporary designs.

Golden Umbrella - Abaya UK
 






 
Golden Umbrella

"..The contemporary gold and black pattern on the arms adds to the elegance, making this abaya essential for your wardrobe. "
 




 





The satin trim on this abaya accentuates the tailoring which takes the abaya from a classic abaya cut with a stylish v neck to a flared out umbrella cut from the waist down. The large amount of material used to make the umbrella cut really does give this abaya a flow and air of luxury. This abaya is an exquisite example of subtle elegance....

Abaya & Sleeves: How to add an instant statement to your Abaya

S L E E V E S...

we absolutely love them. Worn in addition to daily clothing sleeves provide extra coverage for your arms. They are an ideal fill for the empty wrist space when our clothing appears too short. Perfect to wear with sleeveless maxis and tops. However we are so used to seeing plain sleeves that we only consider them as basic essentials. Saying that though things just got interesting.
 If you are like us, constantly looking for ways to transform your every day abayas, you will love our post today. Here are some gorgeous sleeves /arm warmers designs. We have matched them with our favourite Abaya Central abayas.  Read on and take your pick...
