Women's Djellaba: Moroccan Comfort for Everyday Wear and Special Occasions

The djellaba is the most versatile piece in the Moroccan wardrobe: a flowing hooded garment that slips on in one easy motion and works just as well for an ordinary day as for Ramadan, Eid, or a family outing. Our women's djellaba collection prioritizes soft, breathable fabrics and hand-sewn finishes - sfifa along the openings and finely crafted buttons - that make all the difference between a basic djellaba and a modern djellaba you will keep for years.

FAQ - Women's Djellaba

What is the difference between a djellaba and a kaftan?

The djellaba has a hood (qob) and is worn both every day and for semi-formal occasions; the kaftan has no hood and is more ornate, making it a ceremonial outfit. You go out in a djellaba and celebrate in a kaftan.

When should you wear a djellaba?

Every day if you feel like it, and especially during Ramadan, for Eid, at the mosque, or when visiting family. Embroidered styles can also be worn for a casual reception.

Which fabric should you choose?

Soft, breathable fabrics for everyday comfort; more structured and embroidered materials for special occasions. In winter, thick djellabas genuinely keep you warm.

How do you choose your djellaba size?

The fit is intentionally loose: rely on your usual size and the length - the djellaba should lightly touch the floor without dragging. Consult the size guide if in doubt.
