ISLAMIC CLOTHING FINDS
This subtle purple-striped drawstring-waist dress by Gap is today’s Adore Du Jour. What makes this dress a great Islamic clothing find is that it’s affordable, long, and loose.
To style it, I chose a lightweight wrap to provide arm coverage, dark trouser jeans (a better option for summer than heavy jeans), coordinating accessories in black and red, and a multicolored summer hijab to tie all of the colors together.

HOT HIJAB STYLE
While most of us won’t be shopping for bikinis (at least not to wear to the beach anyway), we can still head to the swimsuit section for other reasons – swimsuit coverups. When it comes to summer hijab fashion, swimsuit coverups can be a hijabi’s best friend. Many of them come in the form of long-sleeved tunics that Muslim women can wear comfortably all summer long.
The tunics pictured above are my favorite style so far. They are very long, very lightweight, and the elastic under the bust-line on these tops gives them a subtle a-line shape that dresses them up just a bit.

HIJAB FASHION DON’T : SLINKY KNITS
The wrap-dress pictured above has great length (for a top), pretty blouson sleeves, and cute ruffle detailing. But, it also has one major problem. The fabric.
The fabric on this dress is a slinky, jersey knit and in recent seasons, we’ve seen a lot of styles done in the same fabric. The problem with jersey is that it falls on your body in a way that reveals every curve that you have. Since the purpose of hijab is to conceal your curves, jersey clothing can pose a problem for Muslim women, but you don’t have to completely avoid it.

ISLAMIC CLOTHING FINDS
Today’s Adore Du Jour is this lovely maxi dress by B.B. Dakota ($56). There are a few things that make this dress such a great Islamic clothing find. For one thing, the dress is made of a woven cotton fabric, which is more modest then the jersey-knit fabric that many maxi dresses are made of. Secondly, the fit of the dress is very full from the waistline to the hemline, which is great for covering up our curves. And lastly, the print on the dress is a multi-colored floral pattern that can be paired with a variety of hijab and jacket colors. You can wear this dress over and over again this summer without repeating the same exact look twice!
For the “Wear it with…” portion of the collage, we gave you 3 different jacket options at 3 different price levels. We chose a neutral jacket to match the solid hemline of the dress and included three different hijab options that can work with that outfit. Which jacket and hijab would you choose?
