This outfit is a 'cinch'!

Having more options with fashion when it comes to the hijab should no longer be your dream - not after this blog anyway. Going to the mall, you probably won't see a mannequin wearing hijabi friendly clothing, but rather one wearing a cami and some jeans or a cami and some shorts - something you would think would be really easy - if you weren't a hijabi.

It's easy now too! Just take the cami, and wear a cardigan that coordinates with it (let it be in color or style), some wide legs, your hijab of course, and you're out the door!

Wear the cardigan open just like that, or you can add a THIN belt (white is a good color to buy if you're buying one) and tie it around the cardigan.

NOW, the way a hijabi does this, is crucial to protect her modesty:

At the waist: Is a no-no because you are excentuating (and creating) curves.

At the hips: Is also a no-no. Now you're excentuating the hips! Even wearing it loosely there attracts attention to that area.

THE YES-YES? (hehe): right under the bust. No excentuating there.

if you're not comfortable with that, don't wear the belt at all! The outfit will still be fashionable. I just added the belt because it's an easy way to spice up ANY top. (I do it all the time now).

Now that you know how to put together this easy outfit, you can check "learn more hijab options" off your dream list, and dream about other things1
