Video : Winter Tips for Hijabis by thevintagegoth
I found this hijab video on YouTube tonight. In the video, the sister is giving a few tips for hijabis to use in the Winter time. The one that I really like is the first tip, which is to wear two hijabs instead of one in the Winter. [...]

IS HIJAB OVERRATED? PART 1
I think that it is and it isn’t. This may surprise some of you because this site is all about how much “We Love Hijab“, but I think that some people take the concept of hijab to an unnecessary extreme.
On one hand it is seen as an oppressive, cultural, or otherwise [...]
I have a habit of posting expensive outfits (that I can’t afford!) just because they are pretty. So, I am challenging myself to create outfits that cost $100 or less, TOTAL.
Up first, I’m featuring this Tencel Halawa Dress by Shukr Islamic Clothing that is on sale right now for $60. Okay, I know that I’m [...]
HIJAB FASHION TRENDS OF 2008
The Winter Garden trend is next up on my list of the Top Fashion Trends of 2008. I love this trend because it’s all about femininity… flowers, paisley, and rich embellishments on a darker, wintery color palette.
The silk maxi dress that I chose to illustrate this trend is definitely not an [...]
WE LOVE HIJAB LOVES : TOP FASHION TRENDS OF 2008
Lace is up next on my list of the Top Fashion Trends of 2008. Every girly-girl needs a little lace in her wardrobe; and while there are plenty of lacy clothes in stores, many of them look too much like lingerie to be worn outdoors.
For hijab [...]
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 [...]
HIJAB FASHION VIDEOS: THE CLOSET
Sabrina Enayatulla, who was behind the Washington Post hijab videos, has created another installment of her hijab style series called The Closet. Thanks to Suroor and Maryam for leaving comments about her new video. It’s so fun and I hope to create some of my own in the future.
HIJAB STYLE REMIX : BLAKE LIVELY
I love the look of wearing a cropped vest over a long shirtdress and this modesty makeover featuring Blake Lively is the perfect opportunity to showcase that style. What I love about Blake’s look is that it combines a classic striped shirt with modern pants and trendy oxford pumps. I [...]
The Rules & Regulations of Muslim Fashion
The Washington Post did a really nice 3-part video series on hijab and Muslim fashion. The sister in the first two videos gave a really balanced and accurate description of what hijab is (alhamdulillah!). But my favorite video is the third one which actually features some style options. Watch [...]
Dubai Street Style
A recent edition of Current TV’s Street Style series featured Dubai fashionistas. There were only a couple hijabis featured and although their clothing may have been too snug for me, it’s always cool to see hijab fashion videos in my opinion.
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 [...]
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 [...]
HAUTE HIJABI : SALIMAH
This week’s Haute Hijabi is Salimah, a 23-year-old Muslimah from New Jersey. Salimah is a Muslimah diva when it comes to fashion. And she does a beautiful job of turning runway trends into fabulous hijab styles! (Just check out her colorful Etro-esque outfit above!) Read on to find out more about this [...]
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. [...]
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 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 [...]
