How to dress when travelling in the Middle East: Hijab Fashion

Hijab fashion is a wonderful resource for everyone, not just hijabis!

A hijab (hee-jab) is the headscarf worn by many Muslim women. Women who choose to wear the scarf are often called hijabis (hee-jab-ees). In general, when one wears hijab, the only parts of the bodies that are exposed are faces, hands, and sometimes feet. There are many wonderful bloggers and designers who have devoted a large amount of time and energy to creating fashionable looks for hijabis.

As a woman who does not wear hijab, most outfits that are hijabi-appropriate are still super cute without the headscarf. Thus looking at these fashion-conscious and modest ladies can be very helpful when trying to find cute but conservative looks.

This picture is borrowed from one of my favorite hijabi fashionistas, Amena (AKA Amenakin on YouTube). She lives in the UK and runs a very popular small business called Pearl Daisy. I adore her thoughtful words and her super cute full-coverage outfit ideas! (Link to her blog, store, and YouTube channel can be found at the end of this post)
