As far as Eid-el-Fitr ‘congregation prayer’ outfit is concerned, there is hardly a reason for wardrobe confusion as this end of Ramadan festival is graced with full body coverage attire for both men and women.
So, whether it’s Abaya for men and women in all its styling varieties or Jalabiya, boubou, Agbada, Senator and so on, dressing up for the occasion comes with its defined traditional elegant fashion signature.
For men, Jalabiya, Agbada and Senator outfits top their wardrobe choice for the occasion, while women in recent times seem to feel more comfortable and elegant in Abaya.
Interestingly Abaya is said to have its historical background in Saudi Arabia around 80 years ago and the outfits bought by travellers who go there on pilgrimage. However, a lot of other countries, including Nigerian designers are now creating their own Abaya designs with eco-friendly fabrics that suit their environment.
