Long Modest Coats

Long modest coats that cover you from collar to calf: belted wrap coats with a soft shawl collar, oversized wool-look maxi coats, ankle-length trench coats for rainy days and long hooded puffer coats for real winter cold. Every coat is cut long and roomy, so it closes comfortably over an abaya, a maxi dress or a knit and skirt set.

The hoods on our puffer coats are generous enough to pull up over a hijab. Pair a coat with a warm jersey hijab, layer it over one of our abayas, and see modest knitwear for long cardigans and knit sets to wear underneath.

How to choose a long coat to wear over an abaya

Start with length: a coat that ends at mid-calf or just above the ankle covers most of an abaya or maxi skirt, so only a little of the hem shows beneath it. Then check the width across the shoulders and chest, because the sleeves and armholes need room for the layers underneath. Oversized and wrap styles are the easiest to wear over flowing garments; belted coats can be tied loosely or cinched for more shape.

Which coat for which weather

A maxi trench coat is an unlined transitional layer for mild, wet days in autumn and spring. Wrap coats and belted wool-look coats suit dry, cold days and look smart over an everyday abaya. For freezing temperatures, wind and snow, a long hooded puffer coat is the warmest choice, with padding down to the calves. Our modest winter outfits guide shows how to layer coats, knits and hijabs.

Sizing and fit

Sizes differ from coat to coat, so check the measurements on each product page and compare them with our size guide. Measure over the clothes you plan to wear underneath; if you are between sizes or want to layer a thick knit, choose the larger size.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear these coats over an abaya?

Yes. The coats are cut long and roomy so they close over an abaya or maxi dress. If you also want to layer a thick knit underneath, choose one size up.

How long are the coats?

They reach from mid-calf to just above the ankle, depending on the style and your height. The exact length for each size is listed on the product page.

Do the hooded coats fit over a hijab?

Yes. The hoods on our long puffer coats are generous enough to pull up over a wrapped hijab without flattening it.

Which coat is warmest for winter?

The long hooded puffer coats are the warmest. Wrap and belted coats suit cold, dry days, and the maxi trench is an unlined transitional coat for mild, rainy weather.

Which hijab goes with a long coat?

A jersey or modal hijab in a soft, matte fabric sits neatly under a coat collar and stays in place under a hood. Choose a shade that matches the coat or the abaya underneath.
