If you're anything like me, you have those days when
your outfit is perfect... until you have to pick out a hijab. Hopefully these
tips will help, next time you find yourself in a sticky hijab-situation. Some hijab styling tips coming your way.
1.
Always choose
the background color of your outfit. If you are wearing a black skirt with
green top then go for a green scarf. Don’t wear a black hijab and create a
block of colors on your body. If you wearing a pink dress with black design,
go for a pink scarf.
2.
Experiment!
Master a style that you carry everyday but also try different styles for
occasions. Wear a no layer hijab with volume or wear a loose flowing hijab for
weddings. Try different face shapes, create a point or wear it round. Try
different materials but remember to totally master you ‘to-go’ style.
3.
Know your skin
tone and what color of hijab goes most with it. Hijab is not like wearing
just any piece of cloth, it’s attached to your face – you have to be careful of
what color you wear because that will brighten or make your face dull.
4.
Modify. Even if
you have that one style that you’re very comfortable with and you don’t want to
change it, try modifying. When you wear a shirt – pull your hijab towards your
neck.
If you are
wearing an embroidered top, make one side of scarf sit on your shoulder. If you
are wearing a hoodie- tuck your hijab inside it ( I do this all the time ).
Same style, different ways.
5.
Be comfortable.
If you want to start wearing hijab, START! Start where you feel confident, it
could be anywhere or with anyone but Start. The best thing about hijab dance is
it clauses your ears (symbolically, please do or not take this literally. We hear everything even with hijab on),
because you need to stop listening to people who discourage you.
6.
It does not
stop you from anything. What you wear,
should not stop you from anything. Even
if creates a barrier, break it but carry what you wear because it is a part of
who you are!
Until next time
Polý agape (lots of love) and stay cheerful :)
