May Bestseller Abaya - Shirina by thowby
The best kind of style is the kind that fits effortlessly into your life, and you keep reaching for it again and again — because it just feels right. The Shirina Abaya, our May bestseller, is one such piece. With its soft ivory hue, fluid silhouette, and thoughtful design, this abaya embodies everything thowby stands for: comfort, quiet luxury, and timeless grace.
Every month, we take a moment to highlight a bestselling piece, not just to celebrate its popularity, but to reflect on why it has resonated with so many women. The Shirina Abaya tells a story of grace that does not shout for attention but earns it. It fits into your life without needing you to change or adapt. It is simple, elegant, and easy to wear — just as modest wear should be.
At thowby, we strongly believe that modest wear can be luxurious without being extravagant. And the Shirina Abaya is the perfect example of this. The fabric, the fit, the feel — everything has been chosen with intention.
We often say that our bestselling pieces are not just popular because of how they look — but because of how they connect with the women who wear them. It shows through in the appeal of the Shirina Abaya. What we have seen this month is a strong response from women across ages and cultures who appreciate clothing that is soft on the skin, light on the body, kind to the eye, and powerful in its restraint.
It is easy to understand why. In a world that often leans toward excess, the Shirina brings a sense of calm — and there is something grounding about wearing a garment that feels calm. It gives you room to express your own energy without competing with it. Whether paired with statement accessories for a celebration, or worn simply and quietly for everyday life, the Shirina Abaya creates space for your presence to shine through.
The off-white tone of the Shirina Abaya gives it a unique, serene quality that stands out among bold trends and in-your-face fashion. Ivory has always been associated with calm, clarity, and understated elegance — and when worn, it creates a glow of quiet confidence, like it does for wearers of the Shirina Abaya. This is not the kind of color that needs embellishment. Its simplicity is what makes it powerful.
It is also a beautifully versatile shade. Whether you are attending a daytime gathering, heading to a Friday prayer, choosing from your work wardrobe, or simply wanting something clean and composed for your day-to-day errands, the Shirina Abaya fits in with ease. You can keep the look minimal with delicate jewelry or elevate it with a bold accessory — the neutral base lets you choose your own direction.
Like all our thowby abayas, the Shirina is designed with real women in mind. Its relaxed fit ensures ease of movement without compromising on elegance. There is room to breathe and be — without the garment ever feeling oversized or shapeless. It moves with you, not against your form.
Made from high-quality fabric, the crepe is crease-resistant and ideal for long hours of wear, making it both practical and polished. The design falls effortlessly while still framing the body in a flattering way — offering the kind of comfort you do not have to think twice about. It is the kind of piece you reach into your wardrobe for, time and again, not just for the way it makes you look, but for the way it makes you feel.
It is the kind of abaya you can count on. The one you instinctively pack for travel, wear on busy days, or turn to when you want to feel polished with minimal effort. The included matching shayla completes the look seamlessly, offering an added touch of cohesion and elegance.
As we mark the Shirina Abaya as this month’s bestseller, we are also celebrating the values that guide everything we do. At thowby, we have always believed that modest wear should feel personal. It should make space for you to show up fully — not just as a trend, but as part of who you are. And pieces like the Shirina Abaya are designed with that philosophy in mind. They are not made to chase the spotlight — but to stand the test of time. The kind of garments that make you feel like yourself, on your best day and on the most ordinary one.
Now that you know why it is a favorite, explore the Shirina Abaya for yourself — it may just be what you have been looking for all this while.
