How to Choose the Best Abaya — Liara Style Guide

Choosing the right abaya comes down to three things: silhouette, occasion, and fabric feel. Liara offers a wide range of styles — from everyday open abayas to statement bridal pieces — so you can match the right one to your day.

Open Abaya — Our most versatile style. Worn open over an outfit or closed with a belt; light and easy to move in for daily wear.
Blazer & Coat Abaya — Structured collar, button closure, and side pockets for a polished, office-ready look.
Jacquard & Embroidered Abaya — Detailed patterns and embroidered trims for a dressier, statement-making piece.
Trim & Bow Abaya — Contrast trims, bow details, or panel accents for everyday elegance with a bit of flair.
Bridal & Premium Abaya — Fuller design and richer detailing, built for special occasions like weddings and Eid.
Floral Abaya — Soft patterned detailing for a lighter, feminine look.

Fit & Fabric
Every Liara abaya is made from premium, soft fabric designed for all-day comfort. Most styles are relaxed-fit and true to size; if you prefer a looser drape, we recommend sizing up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best abaya for everyday wear?
For daily wear, our Open Abaya and Blazer Abaya styles are the most popular — lightweight, breathable, and easy to move in, whether you're running errands or heading to work.


What's the difference between an open abaya and a closed abaya?
An open abaya is worn like a duster or cardigan — open at the front or fastened with a belt — for a relaxed, layered look. A closed abaya has a fixed front closure (buttons or snaps) for a more streamlined silhouette. Liara's Blazer and Coat Abayas are closed styles; our Open Abayas are open-front.


What size abaya should I buy?
Liara abayas are designed with a relaxed, true-to-size fit. If you prefer a looser, more flowing drape, we recommend going up one size from your usual.


Is Liara abaya fabric suitable for hot, humid weather?
Yes. Our abayas use premium, soft, breathable fabric designed to stay comfortable during long wear, including in warm and humid climates like Kerala.
