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 [...]

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. [...]
There is a brand new Islamic clothing store online called Taqwa Iman. The clothing line was designed by Taqwa Aquil who wants to provide Muslim women with modest clothing that is “chic, economical, and Islamic.”
The pretty damask-printed skirts above are our favorite pieces at Taqwa Iman. You can style them easily by pairing them with [...]
HOT HIJAB STYLE : TOPPERS
We’ve been getting a lot of emails lately from Muslim women who want to know how to layer comfortably when it’s hot outside. Soon it will be summertime and we’ll all be dealing with those dreaded 90°+ temperatures; and that hot weather can definitely be a problem for sisters who wear [...]
Today’s Adore Du Jour is this lightweight shirtdress by Lands’ End. It comes in several different colors (including plus-sizes!) and all of them would effortlessly carry you through Spring and Summer.
We chose a pink hijab and neutral accessories to create this casual outfit, but you could easily dress this top up for Jumuah or any [...]
No matter what time of year it is, every girl needs a cute little trench for those chilly, rainy days. This pink, lantern-sleeved trench coat is the perfect thing to pair with today’s Islamic clothing find – a dark brown long skirt by Shukr.
We think this look would be great for work. Just add your [...]
HIJAB APPROVED : GAP
Gap has a few long skirts for sale right now that would be really great additions to a hijabi’s spring/summer wardrobe. In the collage above, the skirts appear to be a little too short, but they are all available in a TALL option, so they should be the perfect length for average [...]
HIJAB STYLE REMIX : JULIANNE MOORE
When we found this picture of Julianne Moore online, we immediately fell in love with the pretty fuchsia color of her dress. To the average girl, her look is probably conservative because the dress is knee-length and it has long sleeves. But for Muslim women, of course, Julianne’s outfit needs [...]
THE RUNWAY :
Tribal prints were a big fashion trend for Spring 2008 Ready-To-Wear runway collections. Many of the major fashion designers showcased at least one outfit that included this trend and some of them based their entire collections around it…
1. ETRO’s Spring 2008 Ready-To-Wear collection included an eclectic mix of bright colors and bohemian [...]
ISLAMIC CLOTHING FINDS
Today’s Adore Du Jour is this cute little dress by Sweetees. The dress has a nice a-line shape which falls away from the body, making it perfect to wear as a top with wide-leg pants. I chose salt-and-pepper tweed pants to create this look and finished it off with a black hijab and [...]
HAUTE HIJABI : NAJIBAH
This week’s Haute Hijabi is Najibah, a 22-year-old Muslimah from New Jersey. Najibah will be graduating from college this May, inshallah, and she will soon start the daunting task of job-hunting. Some people would think of her hijab as an obstacle during this time of her life, but Najibah would strongly disagree [...]
ISLAMIC CLOTHING FINDS
This gorgeous long skirt by Soft Surroundings is today’s Adore Du Jour. I love this long skirt because it’s very festive, but at the same time, it’s elegant enough to be worn to a wedding or another special event. Because the skirt is so highly embellished, I chose simple pieces to create today’s [...]
Today’s ADORE DU JOUR is this vintage-inspired trench jacket by ChicStar. The length and the a-line shape toward the hem of this trench make it a great modest clothing find. But what I really love about it is it’s black and white floral print. While it would be easy to create a monochromatic outfit with [...]
HAUTE HIJABI : AMANI
This week’s Haute Hijabi is Amani, a 19 year-old college student from New Jersey. Like many Muslim women, Amani’s style is an interesting mix of Islamic clothing (like abayas) and modern fashions (like maxi dresses). You may remember her from our old How To Wear Hijab video. And now you have a [...]
ISLAMIC CLOTHING FINDS
Today’s ADORE DU JOUR is this lovely watermelon-colored tunic top by Shukr. Feminine detailing is always big for Spring and this tunic is a “triple threat” when it comes to that trend. From the ruffles to the blouson sleeves to the pleating detail down the front of the tunic, this top will add [...]
HIJAB APPROVED : VICTORIA’S SECRET
This edition of Hijab Approved features 3 lovely maxi dresses from Victoria’s Secret. Now, I know that VS isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you’re thinking of modest clothing, but, there are a number of things to love about these dresses… They’re super long (41″ from the waistline), [...]
THE RUNWAY :
Whether you classify them as Americana, Nautical, or Novel, stripes are a classic yet fashion-forward trend for Spring 2008. A few thoughts…
1. RICK OWENS’ Ready To Wear collection featured a number of outfits that were a mash-up of stripes in a variety of colorways and widths. Is it tacky or très chic? [...]
HAUTE HIJABI : SAMAH
WE LOVE HIJAB’S Haute Hijabi for this week is Samah, a 33 year-old Program Coordinator from Ohio. No stranger to the Islamic fashion blogosphere, Samah offers inspiring commentary on the concepts of hijab and modesty. You can check her out at one of her blogs: Jamerican Muslimah. But before you do, click [...]
THE RUNWAY :
Tiers of fabric were seen all over the Spring 2008 Ready To Wear and Couture runway shows. Here are a few of We Love Hijab’s observations…
1. ARMANI PRIVÉ created tiers in an unconventional asymmetrical style that I think is really interesting. But, what I really adore about this dress is the soft [...]
HAUTE HIJABI : NORA
We Love Hijab’s main goal is to show how Muslim women can dress modestly and stylishly at the same time. Many of you have been asking for examples of Muslimah’s who are doing just that. And in response to those requests, we proudly present our new weekly feature called Haute Hijabi!
An [...]
