Dec 20, Hijab Styles - Aesthetic Inspirations From Malaysia

Dec 20, Hijab Styles - Aesthetic Inspirations From Malaysia: I’m currently in Malaysia for a month holiday. A lot of things has changed and improved here since the last time I came back.




More so in terms of Muslimah clothing and styles.




The hijab is made simpler - amira style, lycra and chiffon fabrics, subtle color palette and chic detailing are most common.














The Islamic clothing and modest attire look more sophisticated with a lot more ethnic designs, abaya inspired style and interesting color combinations.














But baju kurung is still everybody's favorite with flattering and classic designs. And contemporary batik is used as based fashion hues.

Muslim Women’s Clothing: Combining Modesty with Elegant Style

Muslim Women’s Clothing: Combining Modesty with Elegant Style:

Apart from being modest, Muslim women’s clothing actually brings out the beauty and enhances the personality of women. Today there are a number of new designs and dresses based on the traditional Muslim wear which can make any woman feel special about herself, without feeling self conscious about wearing them. More importantly there is a new emerging trend of shopping online, which allows women to shop for traditional and chic Muslim women’s clothing right from the comfort of their homes.

Muslim Women’s Clothing: Some Types

Muslim women’s clothing varies depending on the culture and area. Here are a few of the different styles of Muslim clothes for women:

1. The Chador: The chador refers to an enveloping cloak, usually worn by women in Iran. It is essentially a large semi circular piece of fabric that is worn over the head and drapes down over the body up to the feet. It is usually worn without wearing a face veil. It may or may not have closures and usually has to be held together by wrapping it around the body or holding it closed with the hands. It is usually black in color.


2. The Khimar: The khimar refers to a specific style of head scarf. It is generally a lengthy cape like veil, which leaves the face uncovered, and drapes over the top half of the woman’s body often falling to the waist. Muslim women will wear the khimer usually during prayers or when they are on the Hajj pilgrimage.


3. The Burqa: The burqa is a robe which covers the woman’s body from head to toe. The veil covering the face usually has a mesh screen so that the woman can see through it. The burqa is typically worn in the Middle Eastern countries.


4. The Niqab: The niqab is a veil worn over the face and is sometimes paired with head scarves. It might cover the entire face with a see through material covering the eyes or it might just cover the lower part of the face.

Women’s Shawls Make an Elegant Style Statement

Women’s Shawls Make an Elegant Style Statement:

Women’s shawls have always been an exquisite item of clothing for all women. Quite a few celebrities have flaunted shawls and wowed people with their elegance and beauty. Whether they are square, rectangular or triangular in shape, women’s shawls complement the outfit and enhance the personality, while keeping one warm.

Styles of Women’s Shawls

A variety of shawls can be found across a number of different cultures, which has given rise to the various styles of shawls. Here are some of the most popular styles from around the world:

• Pashmina shawl: Made using the finest cashmere wool, Pashmina has been of great value for centuries throughout the world. The wool is combed from the Himalayan Mountain Goat’s neck and chest. To produce a single shawl, this fine wool is combed from at least three goats. The wool is of the finest quality in the world and is about six times finer than human hair.


• The Victorian Paisley Shawl: The Victorian paisley shawl or the piano shawl sports intricate patterns made through fine workmanship. They usually come from India, France, Scotland, Italy, Holland, Ireland and England. They were considered as a status symbol during the Victorian period. It usually took two weavers about three years to produce a shawl of the finest quality. Owing to their popularity, European weavers too started producing these Indian shawls at lower prices. Paisley was one of the European towns where these shawls were produced.


• The Crochet Shawl: These shawls are quite popular today. The yarns used to make these crochet shawls determine the quality of the garment. Although it is a bit difficult to correctly point out the origin of crochet shawls, this style is likely to have evolved from Tibet, Arabia, China and Spain.


• The Prayer Shawl: The Jewish prayer shawl, also known as the tallit, is worn during prayer ceremonies. These prayer shawls are adorned with braided fringes at the corners of the shawl and symbolize the commandments of the Jewish religion.

Women’s Shawls and Body Type

Wearing your shawl according to your body type will not only enhance your appearance but also complement your attire. Here are a few tips on how to wear your shawl:

1. Tall Women: You should avoid wearing shawls vertically as this will only accentuate your height. Try wearing them diagonally or horizontally and spread much of the shawl across your shoulders.


2. Short Women: Try out long evening shawls, and leave them vertically draped over your body. Wear shawls made of thin materials such as satin or silk.


3. Heavier Women: Heavier women should go for thinner fabrics along with dark colors as this will have a slimming effect. They should avoid woolen shawls, which tend to create a bulkier look.


4. Lighter Women: Choose thicker shawls made of fleece or wool, and go for lighter colors, such as ivory, beige or gold. Such shawls tend to create more volume along with elegance.

If you are looking for elegant and contemporary women’s shawls to enhance your wardrobe, the best place to find them is www.eastessence.com. Here you will find a wide variety of designs and styles of shawls, apart from other high quality traditional eastern clothing.
