Hijab Beautiful
Any exploration of traditional Muslim clothing cannot be considered complete without an in-depth discussion of the hijab, a traditional Muslim headscarf worn by Muslim women around the world. Although the hijab is worn in different regions in various manifestations with respect to length, color and design, a unifying trend with its roots in modest and conservative fashions, is slowly emerging. Hijabs for Muslim women have finally gone main stream. But first, a perspective and a quick clarification to help you make sensible purchase decisions when you set out to buy a hijab for that very special occasion round the corner.
Although Muslim edict recommends conservative dressing norms for women of the Islamic faith, it does not place a ban on specific colors, fabric, designs or texture. This is precisely why Muslim women have used personal judgment when deciding what styles to wear indoors and what not to wear outdoors. The hijab, which is a Muslim headscarf and considered mostly an accessory, can be colorful and pretty while at the same time remaining sophisticated and distinctive. You can even match your hijab with your formal or informal attire as long as it is not "loud" and "wild." As they say, decorum is the key to making a good impression.
Women's Scarves for a Trendy Look
As mindsets change, attitudes fluctuate, and fashion trends become even more contemporary, more and more women from the Islamic community continue to embrace new ideologies about style and fashion. The range of choices for you as you set out to shop for hijabs is bewildering to say the least. Hijabs, much like a khimar or shaylah, can be worn in solids, prints or a combination of the two. Pick your hijab to match and suit your seasonal color preferences if you have any. Designs and styles span the spectrum from a traditional look to something which looks and feels very much 21st century. You can also consider hijabs that are adorned with exquisite hand embroidery on the edges, evenly spaced in direct proportion to the pattern on the hijab.
