I love tpf for a lot of reasons, one of them being that there are so many of us here from different countries and cultures. I thought of starting this thread for those of us who wear a headscarf (Hijab) or anyone else who want ot give tips.
I just started wearing a Hijab, its been 4 months, it was a personal decision. Anyway wearing a Hijab does not only mean covering your head, you have to make some changes in your wardrobe too, I will be brief, basically clothes should not be too form fitting, long sleeves and modest necklines, no short length. I am gradually getting there, no major changes for me though, anyway the most challenging thing for me has been the headscarf itself for the following reasons:
1. Whats the best style for my face, different styles
2. What color hijabs with clothes I am wearing, or best basics for any wardrobe
3. Buying good quality scarves, this has been the most challenging for me. There are a zillion scarf shops here, but ofcourse like everything else in my wardrobe now (since joining tpf) I wanted some good brands. I bought a couple of Gucci, but they are pretty expensive for me. I have a few LQs but they are too warm (for our weather) and too big in size.
So what I am asking is basically help me find nice scarves, ideas and how to tie them. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
Also please feel free to add pics of your outfits with your hijabs, or anything you wish to add on the topic. Thanks
I am adding a few pics here of the styles I like, I am normally wearing it this way:"All pics are taken from the web via image search"
These are some other I like but just can't figure out most of them:
