This is my first summer as a Hijabi, so I have been searching for the best styles to stay comfortable and stylish during the summer while not feeling the heat. It was not an easy road! While the fashion trends right now are also considering modest options, it still gets tricky to choose what works best.
Here are some must-have items that I personally included in my wardrobe this season to stay fresh and stylish:
Breathable Hijabs: lightweight and breathable hijabs made from natural fabrics like cotton or linen as they allow air circulation and prevent excessive sweating.
Cotton cap: when you want to wear see through hijab, choose a cotton cap, one of my favorite styles is securing the hijab on the cap using a double fashion tape, and you can simply lightly wrap the hijab around your neck.
Loose-Fit Tops and oversized jackets: I prefer loose-fitting tops which are made from lightweight materials such as cotton, linen or chiffon. They provide comfort and help regulate body temperature. When it comes to shirts, the oversized ones are super practical and can double as jackets. I avoid layering in summer unless it was using loose fitted tops which also helped me use items from my pre-hijab closet. As for jackets, opt for oversized ones and you can either get them cropped or long depends on what style are you looking for.
Wide-Leg Pants: modesty and comfort approved! Linen or cotton even light denim pants which can be paired with various tops. I had many palazzo pants that came super handy with the heat, look for long culottes which are sort of the alternative of jorts for modest option! Linen sets are also a great choice but try to spice the look up with accessories or wearing a sleeveless top under the shirt to add that third dimension that makes all the difference in styling.
Maxi Dresses and Skirts: not only do they provide modest coverage, they also allow airflow. Choose light and flowy fabrics in vibrant colors or floral prints. You can even get sleeveless dresses and layer them with shirts or jackets as long as you choose the right materials which will widen your choices as the long sleeves options might not be as you want.
Kaftan or abayas: I can’t wait to style mine! we are lucky to have now many trendy options, again that are practical if you want to wear items from your closet that are not necessarily hijab friendly to have the right coverage.
Swimsuit and Cover-up: Many brands are now offering stylish and modest options for those of you who want to go swimming, like burkinis or full-length swimsuits with a matching cover-up or sarong.
