The black dress you will see all Saudi women wearing is called an abaya.
Historically, it has not always been black, but made from all different
colors. Only in the past thirty years has the style of the abaya changed
to black, a fashion that all women accept, but now it comes with a
modern design.
I see all different moderation that include beads, gems, embroidery and
different types fabrics.
You have to look closer than from a western
perspective to see them.
It’s all about the accessories.
I knew they all wore this black garment, but I did not realize that they
wore it over their real outfits. Everyone here, when they take off
their abaya, looks like an American. The similarities in fashion are
uncanny. There are even Saudi hipsters. I love it.
