I think what Shak’s trying to say is that in countries like the UK, all of a sudden abaya and jilbab are >> plain ol’ simple shalwar kameez. And the justification is that these clothes are a lot better than shalwar kameez, and somehow more “Islamic”. There is no connection to your own culture and history anymore that way.

In UK where its cold anyway most of the time how does a long coat not do the job like an abaya does? Even in Pakistan in places like Peshwar there was no abaya culture, now it thrives. Ofcourse in Arab states its expected as a part of the local culture and should be followed

Before anyone says anything my own family members wear the abaya and I have the same debate with them. But them being older I get told to shut up
