the easiest way has to be throwing on a nice jacket. it immediately transforms the look into something else - sometimes so much that it might appear your abaya has turned into a long black skirt.
any length of jacket will work - but its best to go with something that will comfortably sit over the abaya sleeves as most abaya sleeves are quite loose at the ends and may look a bit weird being rumpled and crushed under a tight jacket sleeve. another alternative to this problem is to go with an abaya with a fitted sleeve but they are very hard to find online and seem to not exist in most abaya stores. i had to resort to chopping both sleeves off a plain black abaya of mine so i could wear it with long sleeved jackets and cardigans comfortably.
