WHAT NOT TO WEAR à la HIJAB : SHEATH DRESSES


This is the first of a new WE LOVE HIJAB segment that many people have been requesting: a hijabi version of What Not To Wear. In these posts I’m going to be your Trinny & Susannah, and Clinton & Stacey. And I’m going to show you What Not To Wear (or how to wear things that you normally couldn’t)!


Up first, are sheath dresses. Sheath dresses are a really big trend right now, but they’re not hijab-fashion friendly for a couple of reasons:


[1] They’re tight.
[2] They’re short.
[3] They’re sleeveless (usually).


For these reasons, I wouldn’t normally recommend sheath dresses to a hijabi, BUT, there is one thing about these dresses that makes them wearable. The length. Sheath dresses are usually mid-thigh length, which makes them great underthings when you’re wearing longer blazers and cardigans. Check out the look below and tell me, are you feeling sheath dresses?
