Abaya are available in many colors and can be worn. Scarf is not compulsory. Environment is very similar to Jeddah
tq mujeer for your kind response. really hope that i can wear abayah in other colors beside black. 😊
Even though Abaya is not necessary any more ,  you can wear reasonably covered  dress.
really? why when i google or searching thru instagram, i found women in riyadh just wear all in black? i am muslim, but in my country, we are freely to wherr any dress and colors. so i am really hope that in riyadh, i still can wear abaya in multiple colors too ☺️
Ya u can
tq for your response😊
Formal requrements regarding the dresses are unclear. Even if it is ok to wear something else from the legal perspective,  if I was a woman here I would not try it. Face the fact, she will get lots of unwanted attention/comments from the people around who feel it undermines the dignity or whatever they think. Colored abaya and no scarf is ok though.
Where u come from...I means....from.which country....u are?
how much is one abaya at least?
SAR 120 - 200 I think.
