The Zip Abaya is a practical and modern variation of the traditional abaya, defined by its closure mechanism: a full-length or partial zipper instead of buttons or snaps. This feature enhances the garment's functionality, making it a favorite for everyday wear, travel, and nursing mothers.
Key Features:
Zipper Closure: The central feature is the zipper, typically running from the neckline down to the hem. The zip provides a quick, secure, and fuss-free way to open and close the abaya, offering greater ease of use compared to managing multiple buttons.
Practicality and Security: The continuous zipper line provides a more secure closure than spaced-out buttons, ensuring complete modesty. It is highly valued for travel, allowing for fast changes, and for nursing or maternity wear when a partial chest zip is included.
Modern Aesthetic: The zipper can be a subtle, concealed feature or a deliberate design element. Designers often use contrasting colors, metallic finishes, or decorative zip pulls to give the abaya a sporty, structured, or contemporary look.
