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 [...]
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 [...]
HAUTE HIJABI : RAHMAH
This week’s Haute Hijabi is Rahmah, a 19-year-old student from Virginia. Rahmah is into fashion just as much as any other girl, but her serious side aspires to become an Islamic scholar who changes the world! Just like all of our Haute Hijabis, Rahmah is beautiful inside and out (mashallah!) and you [...]
HAUTE HIJABI : KE’LONA
This week’s Haute Hijabi is Ke’lona, a 25-year-old Muslim woman from California. Ke’lona’s style is eclectic, colorful, and innovative (just look at how she layers her hijab!). She has an obvious penchant for diva sunglasses and carefully coordinated ensembles. Read on to find out more about her Haute Hijabi style!
WE LOVE HIJAB: [...]
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 [...]
