Let’s be honest — we’re in our soft era, and we’re not mad about it.
There’s something about the soft glam aesthetic that just gets us: romantic vibes, floaty fabrics, muted florals, and that “I look effortlessly beautiful without even trying” energy. Soft glam isn’t about being overdone — it’s about being intentionally delicate. And yes babe, you can absolutely pull it off in an abaya.
I’ve been slowly building my soft glam modest wardrobe, and after testing out way too many looks (trust me, my closet’s been through it 😅), these five abayas from Mariam’s Collection are officially on my holy grail list.
If you’re ready to glow up while staying true to your modest roots, keep scrolling — I’ve got you.👇
1. MA196 – The Puff Sleeve Daydream
This abaya gives "I’m the soft girl in a Studio Ghibli film” energy. The puff sleeves? The tiered skirt? The cinched waist? I was SOLD.
What I love most is how breathable and light it feels, but still gives that full-coverage, polished look. I wore it to a brunch picnic with my girls, added a straw bag and white flats — and let’s just say I was the main character.
💡 Soft glam tip: Go for dewy skin, soft hijab, and gold huggie earrings to complete the look.
2. MA218 – High-Neck Elegance, But Make It Romantic
The high neck and bell sleeves on this one? Literal royalty vibes. It’s giving “modest Renaissance muse.”
This is the one I reach for when I want to feel put together but not doing the most. I styled it for a family dinner with nude heels and a cream chiffon scarf — my aunt legit asked where I got it from.
💡 Soft glam tip: Add a soft low bun and peachy blush. Let the sleeves do the talking.
3. MA212 – Mermaid-Core but Modest
Okay, hear me out: this abaya has a flow like no other. The fishtail cut + chiffon fabric = drama in the best way.
It’s not stiff, not clingy — just that perfect, soft swish when you walk. I wore it for a friend’s wedding and got so many “Where is your dress from?!” DMs that I lost count. This is your event abaya, hands down.
💡 Soft glam tip: Slicked-back bun, sparkly clutch, and a hint of highlighter on the collarbone = chef’s kiss.
4. MA210 – Vintage Romantic Dream
Sweetheart neckline. Dainty floral print. Soft bell sleeves. This one is straight-up storybook worthy.
It feels like something a hijabi Jane Austen heroine would wear — if she had Instagram and good lighting. I love the structure of the bodice and how the waist tie gives just the right shape without being tight.
💡 Soft glam tip: Go with a soft hijab, and ballet flats for a vintage-cute finish.
5. Blossom Chiffon Abaya – The Everyday Softie
If you’re new to soft glam and want an easy starter piece — this one’s it.
The chiffon is ultra light, the flared sleeves add movement, and the print is soft without being boring. This is the one I grab when I want to look like I put in effort… but actually didn’t 😅
💡 Soft glam tip: Keep the look monochromatic — ivory hijab, nude sandals, and a soft pink gloss.
Final Thoughts: Soft Glam = Soft Power 🕊️
To me, soft glam is a way of embracing femininity without compromising on strength. It’s about looking graceful while feeling grounded. Modest, but magnetic. ✨
And these abayas? They’re more than just clothes. They’re a vibe. Aesthetic meets function, elegance meets comfort — and that’s exactly what we deserve.
So if you’ve been looking for pieces that help you express your soft side while still looking like you have your life together — Mariam’s Collection really came through with these picks.
Now excuse me while I go twirl in my chiffon like I’m in a perfume ad 💃
