It’s finally time for my favorite hijab fashion season – Fall and Winter! As usual, this season features a ton of fashion trends that are appropriate for Muslimahs and the one that I’m covering first is what I like to call the Neutral Brights trend.
The Neutral Brights [...]

HIJAB STYLE REMIX
This Hijab Style Remix features Rachel Bilson in an easy, casual look that’s pretty modest as it is. To make the look more hijab friendly, I added wider-legged jeans, a longer undershirt (for more coverage in the front), and of course a black hijab. Since I prefer to be a little more polished, [...]
HIJAB Q&A : IMITATING THE “DISBELIEVERS”
[UPDATE: I will continue this post later on inshallah because I am too busy to sit and write it right now. Sorry for the delay.]
Rather than continuing with my post entitled “Is Hijab Overrated Part 1?“, I am going to start addressing the questions about hijab that I receive from [...]
MODERN ISLAMIC CLOTHING DESIGNER : ARTIZARA
One of my goals is to create my own line of Islamic clothing in the future, inshallah. I love the behind-the-scenes side of fashion just as much as I love the clothes, so last week I caught up with Helen of Artizara.com to find out more about their modern Islamic [...]
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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
HIJAB FASHION DON’T : LEGGINGS
For the past few seasons, leggings have come back in a big way and they’re a popular replacement for pants for many women. Unfortunately, some Muslim women have jumped on the bandwagon as well, creating outfits that consist of short dresses, leggings, and hijab.
What’s the big deal, you ask? Well as [...]
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 [...]
7 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU WEAR THAT OUTFIT
1. Am I following my understanding of hijab as best as I can?
There are so many different opinions about what hijab is and what it is not. Some Muslim women only wear black, some Muslim women cover their faces, some Muslim women wear specific regional styles [...]
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), [...]
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 [...]
