Hijab is a head-dress paired with every Muslim dresses for women to cover and protect the hair and sometimes even face. Hijabs can be worn in many ways. One can turn a funky chic by wearing hijab with jeans, shades, and sneakers; one can also maintain a Begum look by pairing the hijab with a richly brocaded Islamic tunic. Recently Islamic clothing has gone through a lot of modern touches, keeping their ethos in place. Viscose Hijab is light weighted, comfortable, flowy and easy. Viscose Hijabs has an airy weave and soft feel; it can be draped in a variety of styling options. Even one can wear this all year round, be it sunny summers or cold winters.
Some of the most preferred Hijabs wearing styles are –
· Pashmina head-dress – In this form, the Pashmina scarf is placed over the head in such a way that one end is shorter than the other one. A safety pin holds the ends of the pashmina shawl at the back of the neck. The longer edge is brought around the chin and again rotated at the back. The hijab should cover your shoulders evenly and there should be a clean and even look at the front.
The same method can be repeated by pinning the ends of the Pashmina scarf at the back of the wearer's head instead of the neck. This form adds to the clarity and modest look. Muslim women can also take the longer end of the scarf, bring it around under the chin and pin it under the ear or on the head side.
· Mona Hijabs variant - This is the modern variant of pairing the hijab with your attire. This form of Hijab has an under scarf with stretch material and a scarf along with it. When the wearer places the under scarf, the attached hijab smoothly flows down the head. It can be pinned in the front as well as at the back. These are mostly customized depending upon the shades of the dress.
· The Turban styled hijabs - In this style of hijab, the wearer has to tie the ends on the back of the head and again bring the ends to the front, then wrap the sides and finally swing around the head. The remaining parts of the scarf are to be tied below, or the other end can be tucked at the side. The ‘Kuwaiti Amira' is an excellent choice in this form of hijab. One can even add another scarf according to their preferences.
Hijabs are now paired both with the traditional and the contemporary look. Customized ones, single coloured, multi-coloured, layered, printed variants are also available at the online stores and shopping malls.
