HIJAB STYLE SPOTLIGHT : FLORAL PANTS

I’m a big fan of the floral-print pants that we’re seeing everywhere right now. If you’re wondering how to wear them without looking too “busy”, just pair the pants with a solid top like the black shirtdress featured above. Check out the links below for more pretty floral pants, and tell me: Would you wear this trend or is it a little “too much” for you?

HIJAB STYLE FINDS : FANCY MAXI SKIRTS

Lately, I’ve been thinking about learning how to sew maxi skirts. I think they’d be pretty easy to make–if I could only figure out how to sew in a straight line (hehe). Since maxi skirts are on my mind, I decided to make a quick post featuring some fancy maxi skirts that would transition perfectly from the winter to spring/summer seasons. Right now, you can wear them with blazers and boots. In the summer time, wear them with casual long-sleeve tees and lightweight wrap cardigans. And of course, top off the look with a pretty hijab. Check out more lovely skirts below.

HAUTE HIJAB STYLE : SNAKESKIN

Snakeskin is such a sleek and sophisticated print; and it’s one of my favorite prints to wear — especially when it’s done in shades of gray. In today’s post, I just want to show you some hijab-friendly snake print pieces from my favorite place to window-shop — Shopbop.com.

Check out the links below to get a closer look at the hijabs, coat, and long sleeve maxi dress featured above, and to see more snake print clothing and accessories… But before you go, tell us, what’s your favorite print to wear?

HIJAB STYLE SPOTLIGHT : SCARF NECKLACE

One of the common questions that Muslim women ask me is “What type of necklaces look good with hijab?” If you’re struggling to figure out how to accessorize your hijab style, or if you just want a unique look, you’ll be happy to know about Lubna Salah and House of Shakti.

Lubna is an amazing jewelry designer out of Beverly Hills, California. She created a gorgeous amethyst bead (tasbeeh) bracelet for me a few months ago, and she has just launched another item that would be great for Muslimahs: The Scarf Necklace.

The Scarf Necklace combines cotton fabric with strands of gemstones to create a circular scarf that takes the guesswork out of accessorizing your hijab. Check out the link below to see more Scarf Necklaces and to see pics of how to wear them… And when you’re done, come back here and leave a comment to let us know what you think!

HIJAB STYLE FINDS : LONG-SLEEVE MAXI DRESS!

Salaam ladies! Today I want to share with you a really great hijab style find that I discovered tonight on ideeli. It’s a long-sleeved convertible maxi dress by Ravon.

This is actually a plus-size dress but I would recommend that women who are NOT plus-size pick it up. Why? Well, you can see from the pic that it’s a form-fitting dress–which is a hijab style no-no. But, if you are smaller than the size of the dress, it will fit you nice and loosely… That’s why I’m buying one. It’s only $59 and I’m sure that I’ll be wearing it A LOT.

This winter, I plan to pair it with sleek boots and a fur vest, my fave black blazer, a denim jacket… the options are endless! To me this is the perfect LBD, long black dress… This will definitely be $59 well spent. Click here to check it out (it’s in the Plus Size Chic section) and then leave a comment below to let me know what you think.

Salaam & Salaam!
Kima

HIJAB STYLE EDITED : FANCY MAXI DRESSES

Maxi dresses in basic colors like black, navy, and white are great hijab style staples for summer — and every other season for that matter. But what do you do when you want to add a little bit of spice to your wardrobe?

Sarah from Toronto emailed me for help with this. She wants to find a few maxi dresses that are fancy, but not too over-the-top. So, I headed over to shopbop.com (I’m a little obsessed with this website at the moment!) to find some options for her. Check them out at the links below and tell me, which style is your favorite?

HIJAB STYLE INSPIRATION

The other day, I was browsing through the lookbooks at shopbop.com and was immediately drawn to the image above. I love everything about this outfit! The brightly colored dress, the neutral striped sandals – it’s all very chic… But of course, I could never wear it outside.

This often happens to me when I’m flipping through magazines or looking at fashion photos online. I’ll see beautiful pieces that are put together in a really great way. Sometimes the outfits are complete hijab style no-no’s (think: anything formfitting). But most of the time, all that’s required to make an outfit hijab-friendly is a little bit of layering.

To make this particular ensemble fit for a hijabi, I paired the dress with wide leg pants, a fitted long-sleeve tee, and shiny accessories. And of course, I’d top it all off with a pretty hijab style.

EID HIJAB STYLES : THE JEANS

Today’s Eid Hijab Styles post is for those of you who love, love, love wearing jeans. I don’t think that jeans are a no-no for Eid. As long as you wear a pair of dark wash jeans – rather than light or faded ones – and pair them with dressier pieces, your outfit will be very Eid-appropriate.

For my collage, I paired a nice wide leg jean with a silk dress (go up a size for a looser fit on this one!). To make the look a little more fancy, I added a pretty teal hijabs, a triple-strand pearl bracelet, and a cocktail ring – because they’re my favorite.

What do you think? Would you wear jeans for Eid?
