How to Wear Hijab in Trendy Style


A Hijab can be worn in so many Trendy or Traditional ways, here I will try to display some of my favorites in the hope to add many more inshallah in the near future. I will display Shawls, Square scarves & Amira Hijabs.

HOW TO WRAP A SHAWL:
New Wrap Style#1:






  • Start by placing a full underscarf on your head as this style requires neck coverage. Or you can use a regular underscarf and wear a turtleneck
  • Place shawl on you head with end much longer than the other
  • Pin the shawl to the underscarf on both sides of your head near where your brows line ends
  • Bring longer end of shawl loosely under your chin and wrap it around above your head and re-use same pin to secure in place
New wrap Style#2:






  • Start by wearing an underscarf




  • Place shawl on your head with both ends in equal lengths and tie behind your neck once or twice




  • Place a slim scarf on your head and tie behind your neck under the shawl as shown in picture#2




  • Braid the accent slim scarf with the shawl and tie with a headband of a scrunchie in matching colors.




  • This is one of my favorites and I do personally get compliments when wearing it.





  • Note: This is of course worn with a turtleneck or if you prefer start the style by using a full underscarf and no turtleneck and you achieve the same look. 





  • New Wrap Style#3:




     New Wrap Style#4:


    • Place shawl on your head with one end much longer than the other
    • Tie at the bottom of your neck
    • Bring longer end above your head (you can also twist it) all the way to the other side of your head
    • Tie 2 ends together
    • This is ideal for wearing on special occasions
    • This was done using a 17"x60" scarf from my collection
    • Please note that wearing this scarf will only work if you are wearing a turtlneck, either a regular one during the winter or a sleevless or mock turtlneck during the summer time
    HOW TO TIE A SQUARE SCARF:
    Style#1:

    • Fold scarf into 2 triangles with one triangle smaller that the other (if you have a smaller scarf)
    • Place scarf on head with one side longer than the other and secure with a pin under your chin
    • Take longer side and bring it to the other side and secure with a brooch or a pin
    • This was done using a 34"x34" square scarf from my collection
    • If you want more neck area coverage you can use a 40"x40" scarf
    Style#2:

    • Start by wearing an underscarf and a turtleneck for neck coverage or a full underscarf (displayed here) that covers the neck area.
    • Tie the scarf in half to make 2 equal sized triangles and place on head.
    • Tie behind your ears just like a bandana
    • This was done using a 34"x34" square scarf but can be done with small or larger scarves.

    Abaya


    Abaya

    The abaya "cloak" (Arabicعباية‎ ʿabāyah or عباءة ʿabā'ah, plural عباياتʿabāyāt) is long overgarment essentially a robe-like dress, worn by some women in parts of the Islamic world.
    It is considered an Arabic cultural dress integrated into the hijab, orIslamic dress, for many countries of the Arabian peninsula such as Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates, where it is the national dress.
    Traditional abayat are black and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head or a long caftan. The abaya covers the whole body except the face, feet, and hands. It can be worn with the niqāb, a face veil covering all but the eyes. Some women choose to wear long black gloves, so their hands are covered as well.
