Hijab Style File: dressing up for date night
Monday, January 18th, 2010Whether you’re going out for an evening with the hubby or a soon-to-be spouse, there is nothing more perplexing than trying to find an outfit that expresses your hijab style.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to go to a really fancy restaurant and have something besides the same old abaya or pantsuit?
Here is our quick 4 step hijab style guide for your next date night:
- 1. Find a long sleeve dress or one that can easily be hijabified.
Veronica M Twisted Bust Long Dress $120.00 at National Jean Company
- 2. Find a hijab style that compliments the outfit (in this case a wrap scarf works well).
Purple scarf $35.99 at The Pashmina Store
- 3. Add in some shoes that aren’t too flashy since the dress is the main statement.
Steve Madden Regaal $89.95 at onlineshoes.com
- 4. Pop out a small clutch and you’re all set!
BCBGeneration Royal Clutch $49.99 from onlineshoes.com
**Tip: Wear this dress with a long sleeve black top underneath and make sure it’s kind of snug so that it doesn’t bulk up.

Pop Culture Hijabi: How to wear your boots this winter
Saturday, December 12th, 2009
I just had an epiphany today.
As you may or may not know, Chicago (and much of the midwest and east) was hit with its first major snowstorm this week. I LOVE snow, and I was very excited about the weather change.
However, winter naturally comes with the need to change your wardrobe as well.
One thing I always have trouble with is boots and tucking pants into them. It’s a necessity if you don’t want sopping wet hems, but it doesn’t look that great unless you wear skinny pants.
However, I was searching for things online and came across some great advice.
They recommend tucking pants into socks first and then putting on boots. Pretty logical, right? And I’m sure it’s something everyone already knows. But I was amazed that my pants no longer had that weird, slouchy look.
So, until I have a chance to go out and get some tighter pants to wear with boots, this will be my quick fix for trudging through the snow.
