How to Wear Hijab in Trendy Styles

A Hijab can be worn in so many Trendy or Traditional ways, here I will try to display some of my favorites in the hope to add many more inshallah in the near future. I will display Shawls, Square scarves & Amira Hijabs.
 
HOW TO WRAP A SHAWL:
New Wrap Style#1:
 
  • Start by placing a full underscarf on your head as this style requires neck coverage. Or you can use a regular underscarf and wear a turtleneck
  • Place shawl on you head with end much longer than the other
  • Pin the shawl to the underscarf on both sides of your head near where your brows line ends
  • Bring longer end of shawl loosely under your chin and wrap it around above your head and re-use same pin to secure in place


New wrap Style#2:
      
  • Start by wearing an underscarf
  • Place shawl on your head with both ends in equal lengths and tie behind your neck once or twice
  • Place a slim scarf on your head and tie behind your neck under the shawl as shown in picture#2
  • Braid the accent slim scarf with the shawl and tie with a headband of a scrunchie in matching colors.
  • This is one of my favorites and I do personally get compliments when wearing it.
  • Note: This is of course worn with a turtleneck or if you prefer start the style by using a full underscarf and no turtleneck and you achieve the same look. 


New Wrap Style#3:
  
  • Place shawl on your head with 2 ends equal length:
  • Tie Once at the botton of your neck
  • Bring both ends and twist at top of the head
  • Bring both engs back behind your neck and tie one
  • This is ideal for wearing on special occasions
  • This was done using a 17"x60" scarf from my collection
  • Please note that wearing this scarf will only work if you are wearing a turtlneck, either a regular one during the winter or a sleevless or mock turtlneck during the summer time


New Wrap Style#4:
  
  • Place shawl on your head with one end much longer than the other
  • Tie at the bottom of your neck
  • Bring longer end above your head (you can also twist it) all the way to the other side of your head
  • Tie 2 ends together
  • This is ideal for wearing on special occasions
  • This was done using a 17"x60" scarf from my collection
  • Please note that wearing this scarf will only work if you are wearing a turtlneck, either a regular one during the winter or a sleevless or mock turtlneck during the summer time


HOW TO TIE A SQUARE SCARF:
Style#1:
   
  • Fold scarf into 2 triangles with one triangle smaller that the other (if you have a smaller scarf)
  • Place scarf on head with one side longer than the other and secure with a pin under your chin
  • Take longer side and bring it to the other side and secure with a brooch or a pin
  • This was done using a 34"x34" square scarf from my collection
  • If you want more neck area coverage you can use a 40"x40" scarf
Style#2:

  
  • Start by wearing an underscarf and a turtleneck for neck coverage or a full underscarf (displayed here) that covers the neck area.
  • Tie the scarf in half to make 2 equal sized triangles and place on head.
  • Tie behind your ears just like a bandana
  • This was done using a 34"x34" square scarf but can be done with small or larger scarves.
 


HOW TO WEAR AN AMIRA HIJAB (TRENDY LOOK):
Style#1:
 
  • Tie a colorful thin scarf being your neck (size 6x60 inches or wider if you desire). This will be used instead of the underscarf tube piece of amira 2 piece hijab.
  • Place larger piece of amira hijab over it
  • Beautiful look, dont you agree?
STYLE#2:
  
  • Place 2 piece amira hijab on your head
  • Place a thin scarf covering the underscarf amira piece and tie behind your neck. This was done using a 6 inch wide scarf that was tied in half.
  • Beautiful look again with no pins and very easy to do.
