Peace be upon you. Wearing black during prayer is generally disliked, except for specific items such as shoes, turbans, and cloaks, including the abaya. The dislike does not apply outside of prayer. However, wearing black during the mourning days for the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them) is considered a way to honor divine rituals and express sorrow, which can lead to reward.
