WE LOVE HIJAB LOVES : TOP FASHION TRENDS OF 2008
From now until the end of the year, I’ll be counting down ten of my top fashion trend favorites of 2008. Starting with the Purple Trend.
From almost-blue to bright lavender, the many shades of purple denote a feeling of richness that is hard to resist. It’s one of my favorite colors and when done in an airy, feminine dress like the one above, purple is a regal addition for any sister who rocks hijab with style.
For the outfit, I chose gray plaid pants, a lightweight gray pashmina hijab, classic black pumps, a cream clutch with gold accents, and a large gold cocktail ring. This look would be perfect for work or Jummah, but hijabis like me would probably wear it any day of the week!

how could you wear THAT for Jummah?
Fabulous look, I would definitly wear that to work.
@Safa: How couldn’t you?
@Celeritas: Thanks dolly!
Love it! Although I could never spend that much $$ on a ring or purse. I would go cheap on accessories from Target.
I loooove the top (maashaa’Allah)! Jazakillahu Khair, aameen.
I just cant get over how much I love your fashions!!!! You give me sooo many great ideas.
Cher
This is a nice look, and I love that dress!
@ Aminah—> LOL I agree. I like Target, too. There are some really nice items that won’t break your budget. ;)
i agree with Cher! thank you.
it’s soooo cute…. I like it very much!!!
I really appreciate the way you put together some looks. I’m an American convert and I am uncomfortable in the traditional abaya. Plus, I work as an accountant for a large organization. Your ideas have spruced up my hijabi look! Thank you.
I agree with Tracey I love the looks on here I am also an American convert and the traditional abaya doesnt really fit my style accept for prayer. Thanks alot
Salam
I live in France and i’ve start to wear hijab recently and i’ve find in your blog ideas to dress modestly and comfortably. Thank you so much .
I love purple. I most certainly would wear this to Jumuah. Probably sans heels b/c I don’t wear them typically. I wore a similar outfit to Jumuah awhile back-plaid pants with a black pleated dress.
If you are a sister who only rocks abaya or jilbab daily or to Jumuah I think you can still be inspired-perhaps by incorporating the rich purple tone or soft ruffles into your overgarment : )
I LOVE the dress & pants and shayla! I can’t wear high heals but some nice princess flats would look great! And the ring is a bit flashy for my tastes. But overall very nice look!!!
Thanks for the suggestions! Masha’Allah!
Once again, a fabulous look. The extra touches make it so chic.
Assalaamu alaikum,
I LOVE it!!! :D
Mashallah, I love the outfit . I would wear to work.
The silver dress is a little to much for me,but I love the way you put it together. Salaams my sister . Eid Mubarak!
not muslim, but minus the hijab thats totally my style, im always wearing long shirts/dresses over my pants
oh, and PS. that dress model’s skinny legs are nastay!any1 agree?
@pumpmar… That would be a mannequin! :-)
WeLoveHijab, I usually check out the new styles and coordinate with hijabs and I am almost running out of ideas. It is nice to have this website, I am really enjoying it.
Jizakalah.
I love all of the looks. They are mashallah very unique from the crowd and are very pretty:).
assalamualaykum..where can i get the similar dress here in asia?
does anyone here knows how to put on the pashmina hijab? i really love the style but i dont really know how to work it out..=)
That is actually a really good idea. I would have never thought of that.
Very nice, I love the colors. the dress is awsome!
lol @ mannequin …didnt even notice it didnt have a HEAD hahahahaha
Asak.
Did I tell you how awesome your blog is? I tried emailing you from this site but that kept getting stuck so don’t know if you got it. Anyways. Would you like a link or something of your site on my blog? Would love to hear from ya!
I love your website it’s awesome. It’s got great ideas on how to dress modestly& Islamically &it’s been a great help to me!
But I notice in all of your outfits you have heels. Aren’t they haram?
Ws
Salam Aishah,
High heels have been very controversial with most sisters for a while, because some sisters compare it to “striking their feet in order to draw attention to their ornaments,” which referred to women who purposely walked in such a way that their anklets, etc. jingled with their every step.
Because of the use of the word “purposely,” I believe that it’s all in your intentions. If someone wore high heels because she thought they’d look good with whatever outfit she was wearing, I think that’s fine. However, wore heels and struck her feet on the ground out of arrogance (in order to draw attention to herself) I think that would be haram. Modesty is not only about sexual attention, it is about not being arrogant. If someone purposely strikes their feet on the ground in a “omg-look-at-me-i’m-entering-the-room-and-should-be-the-center-of-attention-cuz-i’m-just-that-great” kind of way, that’s being arrogant, which is not a good trait for anyone, Muslim or not.
Of course, I don’t mean to make you unwillingly wear heels or anything. I’m just stating my opinon, and I hope I didn’t offend you. And if you don’t prefer to wear heels, you can always substitute black ballerina flats or gladiator sandals for the heels!!
Salam, Lyla
Lyla, you didn’t offend me at all!
I only really asked because I read somewhere, I think it was a Hadith, which says you shouldn’t wear heels because they are cheating people because you’re making yourself seem taller. I can’t find it anymore though :S
Thanks for your opinion though!!! &I totally agree with you ,ballerina shoes are cute :)
Ws Aishah
crap go to hijab skl dumb ass
fariha…wth?!?
hey sisierss!! salam i wanna ask a question is it haram 2 wear pants ………????!!! its killin me i hear so many things like uts haram because u resemble a man or smething i wanna get it straight is it or isnt???!!
sorry its*** b4 like
@ Ikram:
Salam. In my opinion, pants are not haram. Unless you are purposely wearing very manly looking pants, you will most likely not look like a man. If someone were to see your wide leg jeans and mistake you for a man because of them, they should invest in glasses or contact lenses. So no, I don’t believe pants will make a woman look like a man unless they are in fact men’s pants.
salam !! thanks very much i really wanted to know because people really make this a big issue than it already is …… lolzz anywayzz thanks for the insight. Salam

Love the website it is so my kind of style , finally i have found something that is modest and looks good to wear :)
@ Ayesha: Good name (: That’s my daughter’s middle name. She spells it like that too :D
@Fariha;
If that ‘crap go to hijab school dumb ass’ was directed at me – or even if it wasn’t-, then you should learn some manners. I was asking if heels were haram to find out and make myself a better Muslim, you shouldn’t make comments like that just to put people down when they’re trying to learn things that they didn’t already know. Besides, youre opinion migth differ from someone else’s, so there’s no ‘dumb ass’ about it.
I agree with Aishah. Fariha, you need to stop being so rude. What kind of sister in God are you??!
