Hit the flip to check out my 10 tricks to having your hijab slay.
Pin it up nice and tight
Believe it or not, it’s all about how you pin your hijab to keep everything in place. No matter how pretty your hijab is, if it is not pinned properly, chances are that everything is going to look eventually fall apart as the day proceeds, and look clumsy. So, load up on hijab pins and broaches.
Own one of each color
Whether you want to match your hijab with your outfit or go with contrasting colors, it always helps to have a variety of colors in your wardrobe. It doesn’t matter whether you like floral patterns or solids, get a variety of colors so you’ll always have something that matches.
Start with a cap
If you fix your scarf over a stylish cap, it reduces the chance of it falling apart by a lot. Stock up on caps.
Own hijabs for both casual and formal occasions
Get those lacy, net scarves for formal occasions and some simple, cozy ones for everyday use. If you are going to be a stylish hijabi, you’ve gotta have something for every occasion. So do some shopping and invest on your looks. Trust me, it’s going to pay off.
Try different styles
No matter how many different kinds and colors of hijabs you own, if you wear it in the same style every day, it’s going to get a little dull. Don’t wait for later–spice up your look with new hijab styles today! There are plenty of tutorials online. Try a few and pick the ones that suit you best.
6. Don’t lose the essence
The essence of hijab is modesty, so make sure the rest of your outfit covers your body properly. Wearing a hijab with an immodest outfit just looks a little (read: a lot) awkward.
Accessorize
Accessories can take your outfit to the next level. Wear stylish long boots, heels, statement necklaces, and bangle bracelets that go with your hijab to achieve that perfect look.
8. Express yourself through your style
Be unique. Match your hijab and outfit to your moods and personality. Don’t be afraid to stand out.
9. Stay up to date
Being a fashionable hijabi is about amalgamation of tradition and modern trends. So don’t think that modern trends are not for you. Think up of ways to wear modern styles with your hijab.
