MODESTY ON THE RUNWAY : SAFARI SUITS

This is the first installment of my coverage of spring fashion trends. What I love about these safari suits is that they are all about being covered up. In the looks featured above, you can see that the safari suit trend can be anything from playful to elegant to understated.

However you wear them, I'd suggest that you go for a longer jacket to provide the proper coverage and I'd also go for a wider leg pant than those featured on the models above. And don't forget about the accessories. A little animal print - maybe a leopard print hijab - can really tie it all together. What do you think?

HIJAB FLICKS

Modern vs. Traditional. In terms of how these Muslim women are dressed, it would seem apparent that the younger sisters are more modern with their hijab than the older sister dressed in black. But, some might say that the idea that you must wear only black is not a traditional rule of hijab and that the one who wears all black is more modern (i.e. newer) than the ones who do not. Any thoughts?

Different Turkish Hijab Style

I found this cute video this morning in youtube which shows the diffrent ways fo wearing hijab by the Turkish ladies. I really love them all, they look so beautiful!

Formal Gown with Bolero and Hijab

Formal gown and bolero jacket with matching shawl to be worn as hijab.

I like the color combination and the the style. Could be worn with matching clutch and jewelries. Suitable for wedding parties and formal gatherings. Very chic!

Fashion in Istanbul!

I was doing my usual fashion look up, and when I do this, I'm not just researching hijab fashion -- just any fashion. From there I get my inspiration for "hijabified" outfits. So I was looking through some street style blogs and I came across one in Istanbul, Turkey. I was like, 'hey! turkey's a muslim country! here's my chance to see what muslim girls are wearing on the streets over there!" My enthusiasm died on the like, third page where I had only seen one hijabi photo so far. Although their style there is amazing and different, I really wanted to see more 'islam-driven' outifts. But, of course it's my duty to report back here and give you the scoop so I'm going to save you all that time of going through the site only to find the few pictures, so let's analyse the ones I found right here and now...
