Printed bell sleeve jersey dress $22.50 from Body Central

Gold shimmer Al-Amirah hijab $14.99 from Star Scarves

Stone set ring in white $24.00 from Topshop

Style Notes: We chose gold as the main color for this outfit because it can help offset the deep brown in the top. White jeans bring out the light and airy feel of summer, while the sandals and ring add bling. If you’re not into the golden shimmer scarf you can do a lighter brown shade, beige, even white. Play around until you find one that you feel compliments the outift and your personal style.

A lot of women deck out in white for their wedding day, but don’t think they can ever pull off such a dramatic color any other day.

White is dramatic because it’s very bright and can draw attention in the wrong way if it’s not worn properly.

Too many times we’ve been able to see through someone’s outfit to what’s underneath and it’s an awkward situation.

Do you tell the person you can see their undies? Or do you just look away and hope that no one else noticed?

Here are a few tips to keep you from sharing your boudoir with the rest of the population:

• Make sure to wear a slip underneath a white skirt. Even if you have lining, white is very see through in the sunshine!

• Don’t think just because you’re wearing a white jilbab that you can skip wearing clothes underneath on a hot day, we can see what’s underneath, so make sure that you wear a full length slip or other clothing.

• If you’re going to wear white pants, the best option is to have a shirt that is long enough to cover your behind. (Then you don’t have to worry about any mishaps).

• But if your shirt is going to be on the short side, wear some flesh colored Spanx or other control shorts instead of your usual underwear to keep the lines smooth.

• For dresses and tops, wear a flesh colored bra or a full length slip that has a built in bra. Again you can find control slips that will help keep everything tucked in and prevent lines.

• As far as white hijabs go, most of the time they are indeed see-through. Wear a white undercap underneath for a seamless look or wear a colored undercap to give it a pop of color.

Tip: If you think thongs are a great way to keep from showing your undies, think again! If you wear white, you can pretty much guarantee we can see it all. Thongs are best left worn under darker colors.

According to Piperlime, gray is the new color coming your way!

What’s great is that it can easily be paired with many things.

One of our favorite color combinations is gray and pink.

Here are some ideas for bringing a little gray to your day (and it doesn’t have to be gloomy):

• Wear a light gray hijab with a pink top and dark gray trouser pants or a white skirt.
• Wear a shayla style gray hijab with your black abaya for a unique look.
• Put gray colored shoes on that have a bit of sparkle and let them be the part of your outfit that sticks out.
• Carry a gray patent handbag.
• Put on some gray eyeshadow lightly on your lids and then line your eyes with black eyeliner to make your eyes pop.

Do you have any other ways you’d incorporate this color?

Remember to make sure it matches with your overall outfit. It can pretty much mix with most colors, but you have to make sure what shade of gray you’re using.

If it looks awkward, then it probably is!

Tip: Gray can also be considered part of the silver family… but the idea here is to go more for the subtle shade rather than the metallic.

Tip: We have a feeling if they don’t sell out now, they’ll have even bigger reductions. Also go to your local store if you have one and see if they’re cheaper there. Sometimes online vs. in store shopping means different prices.
