Winter abaya in Pakistan

In Pakistan, winter abayas cost about Rs. 4,000 to 8,000 for woolen or fleece-lined styles, Rs. 6,000 to 15,000 for velvet and coat-style abayas, and more for designer pieces. Winter hijabs and stoles in jersey, wool or pashmina blends cost about Rs. 800 to 3,000. A long cardigan or a thermal layer under a regular abaya is the cheapest way to stay warm.

A summer abaya in crepe or nida is too thin for a Lahore or Islamabad winter. Here are the warmer options and what they cost. For all women's winter wear, see winter wear for ladies in Pakistan.
