What is with islamic schools choosing white and navy as their uniform colors? Who cares! It looks good- and the colors are so basic that you can do pretty much anything with them! A sister asked me how she could spice up her school uniform of a navy skirt and white tunic with a hijab of any color. Here goes girls.. I had to stop myself from showing you more outfits so I could go to bed haha.
This photo above is one I made of various white tunics and how to spice them up - very simple, you can probably go to your wardrobe and create a few new outfits from what you already have!
This post is kind of like a whole lot of my hijabifashionista tips in one! Here's one you might remember; "When you're having one of those mornings where you don't know what to wear and you don't really feel like thinking about it, wear a simple top and a nice hijab." ... or something along those lines (from a previous post). This fits well with the top ensemble on the bottom of the picture above -a simple babydoll and a nice turkish style hijab... THEEEN a long necklace, and you're good to go.. actually even better, you're looking finnne sister hah.
When you're going to the mall for those back to school outfits, be sure to pick up a decorated white tunic, one with that "little extra" already attached. This works well with the tunic right smack in the middle of the pic above. This way, you can look good with little or no effort - just a nice navy hijab to compliment the accents on the top!
Something REALLY simple that looks really well put together is a vest over that white tunic. With a nice hijab that works well with the style of the vest you're good to go!
Last but certainly not least... a cardigan over a nice white tunic is a light, simple and great look to go for!
This outfit above is one I made just to show you that you can wear a navy skirt with a few white accents without breaking any rules--- you're just bending them a bit, and you're still being modest so it's all good! A cute gladiator sandal can go a long way!
For those days that you want to look just a little more special - or maybe you're just sick of wearing skirts all the time and you don't have gym class, instead of wearing a skirt, wear a navy dress. Cover up the top (usually the most formal part of the dress) with a blazer that you DEF. need if you're going to work with this uniform for a whole year. Just don't go with heels or anything-- unless you really feel like it, to dress it down, just wear a casual flat.
Now this is a picture of a bunch of ways you could quickly spice up that outfit without stressing in front of the mirror every morning. A long necklace will spice up any white tunic. If you can't find any long ones in the stores, but one you like and attach string to the back and keep that part tucked under your hijab (check verry early posts for this tip with more detail). Buy some necklaces (or you might have them in your closet) with really large charms at the end.
Footwear is easy, footwear is great. Don't underestimate the power of footwear - it can make or break an outfit.
Bags, bags. Backpacks are for uni students and little children - in highschool, there's no need. Big bags are what's up and you'll always look stylin no matter what.
Hope I helped! I kinda wish I had a uniform now!
