Jilbabs and abayas are common Islamic clothing for women. Though
they are popular in the Middle East countries and other Muslim world,
the concept of wearing jilbabs and abayas is much debated in the Western
World. However, it is the strong influx of the Muslim leaders that has
made these apparels common on the streets of several western cities.
Jilbabs
are long robes and are used as outer garment. They come with separate
arms that are stitched to the body of the cloth. The over garments are
available in various styles and colors. You can have black outer
garments that are pinstriped with different color. They also come in
subtle colors with detail pinstripe work on the cuffs. These types of
Islamic garments also come with hoods. In fact, the hooded Jilbabs look
smart enough for both office and casual wear. In addition, you can
incorporate several other styles into this cloth such as ruffles,
frills, pleats, cuffed sleeves, flares and laces.
