Have you run out of inspiration for what to wear this Eid? Is your choice of Ileya outfit basic AF? Is your Nigerian tailor showing you the same styles you’ve worn for five Sallah celebrations? You’re in luck if you answered yes to any of these questions. We asked DALL-E 3 to design Ileya outfits for Muslim men and women, and we can’t help but agree that AI knows ball.
Ileya outfits for men
As a man, don’t listen to people who say you don’t have to do much to make an impression. If you want the compliments to roll in this Eid, start with these DALL-E 3 inspirations:
Short-sleeve agbada
Rock this agbada style on Eid, and everyone will ask for your tailor’s number.
Beaded jalabiya
For most Nigerian Muslims, jalabiya is a basic Ileya outfit that screams low effort. But not if you rock this type with beaded embroidery. This style is heavy on the crown prince energy.
Simple black jalabiya
One good thing about black jalebia is that they’ll withstand all the stains that come your way. Just make sure you pair them with a nice cap that completes your look.
Kimono x tunic combo
Now, this is a look that’ll surely make you stand out at the Eid prayer ground. From the Mama-Africa-themed cap to the tassels and kimono, AI ate.
Metallic silk tunic
This metallic silk outfit screams rich uncle. If you wear it, ensure your pocket is lined with crisp notes because the kids will ask for Sallah money.
Embroidered guinea brocade
The good ol’ guinea brocade doesn’t disappoint. You can ask your tailor to throw in some Ankara fabric for extra pizzazz.
Agbada with cape
This agbada low-key gives off graduation gown vibes, but it’s definitely not your regular style, so yes, to it.
Jalabiya with mini cape
This style works better without the mini cape. AI didn’t eat with this one sha.
Senator x ankara combo
Not a fan of embroidery? You should get your Nigerian tailor to play around with ankara fabric. It’s not a bad look.
Embroidered kaftan
There’s no escaping being called a “Yoruba demon” if you show up looking this good for Ileya
Ileya outfits for women
Whether you’re going for rich aunty or oga’s wife, DALL-E 3 says these are the Ileya outfits that should be on your radar.
Ankara abaya
If you don’t have a minimum of ₦25k-₦50k for a ready-made abaya, show your Nigerian tailor this style. It does the job and costs less.
Simple floral gown
This is a nice option to wear after you return from the Eid prayer ground. Just make sure you’re not doing any heavy cooking or lifting.
Kimono abaya with rhinestones
If you wear this, just expect everyone in your neighbourhood to bill you.
Bedazzled abaya
Nothing screams rich aunty more than abaya styles with stone embroidery. Rock this one, and you’ll light up any room you enter.
Full-length gown with headgear
This abstract art-inspired Ileya outfit is perfect for corporate girlies who like to keep it smart and classy even during celebrations. That belt detail killed this look.
Abaya with a cape
Is it me, or does the cape low-key make this look like a bridal outfit? It’s still a real serve if you wear this for Ileya.
Two-piece set
Something about this outfit leans heavily towards “oga wife” and “rich aunty”.
Chiffon abaya with hijab
Rock this if you’re a hijab-wearing sister who wants to switch things up a bit for Ileya.
Two-piece chiffon set
This might not be appropriate for the Eid prayer ground, but it’s something you can rock when you return home.
Jalabiya dress with mini hijab
Just in case you’re in the mood to twin with your habibi.
