We’ve all been there, struggling to find lightweight, summery wardrobe staples as modest dressers. There’s nothing worse than ordering a beautiful piece, only to be disappointed when it arrives with a slit and in poor quality that barely lasts through one summer!

It’s even harder to find pieces that are both unique and timeless, especially when most modest wear brands recycle the same open abaya styles every year. With all that in mind, I’ve managed to find a few gorgeous pieces that I’ll be wearing year after year.

Skirts

Classic Flared Maxi Skirt - Mymme Studios

This skirt is quickly becoming one of my favorites—I can’t stop wearing it! It’s flowy, elegant, and just the right length. The fabric feels luxurious—heavy yet light and airy, making it perfect for summer.

Abayas

Taffeta Open Abaya Collection - Lina Ziada

This collection is absolutely stunning. The colours are just as vibrant in real life and the fit is flattering. The only thing is that they need a lot of steaming after the first wash.

Hijabs

Bamboo Jersey Hijabs- Rumluh (Chinutay & CO)

Okay, I think I’ve found the perfect hijab material. This jersey is super soft and stretchy and remains the same even after a couple of washes. They also come in two different sizes so if you love that super flowy look, opt for the maxi.

Composition: 95% bamboo modal and 5% elastin

Size range: Regular or Maxi (how thoughtful!!)

Prayer Dress

Prayer Gown - Rumluh (Chinutay & CO)

I absolutely love this prayer gown! I can’t go back to the floral, cottony prayer dresses from the local market. This piece is super elegant without compromising on coverage. The magnets on the hijab make it super easy to put on, not just for Salah but even if you’re just popping out to pick up a delivery. This is the perfect gift!
