Muslim Sisters... Nice abayas and hijabs?

8 replies

Salam alaykum 

Recently converted so I played it safe and bought 2 black abayas and a black and a grey hijab for Mosque. But... I've seen some sisters in some gorgeous colors and patterns but can not find any online that I like 

If you wear fashionable/colorful hijab/ Abaya where do you get them from? To be worn out and about (meals out etc) but also modest enough for Mosque?

Hoping I can get some help inshallah

I love Aab (not cheap, but they often have sales on) and Shukr, which has an ethical ethos and was founded by a convert. I am not a big fan of ‘ethnic’ clothes ( as a white convert I just feel odd wearing them) and these two companies make modern modest clothes that I am comfortable wearing. Hope that helps!

I'm not muslim but have a muslim friend that dresses modestly and always looks amazing. She matches her scarf to her abaya, or she sometimes matches it to her bag. She always has a manicure and immaculate yet subtle make up. She often wears a statement ring, and statement shoes. When going to work, she wears a blazer over her abaya, or sometimes a trench coat.
I think the usual rules of no more than three colours at once, and her scarf always suits her colouring.

If black is a colour that usually drains you, it's probably best to wear a softer colour
