Hijabi Style: Chanel style prints make this look super chic
Hijabi Tip: playing with texture
When I saw this image I was immediately struck by the use of texture and colour. The key to why this works and doesn’t look messy is that they have kept the base colours monochrome. The pink is the accent colour which stands out. The use of broaches in a third colour (but keeping on the purple/pink side of blue) adds a mid level tone between the monochrome and pink. It’s dark and edgy and although I would probably tone it down a bit before wearing it, I love it’s dark drama.
Texture
The use of texture is also very clever, again using opposite ends of the spectrum you have smooth (almost shiny) leather and gemstones against rough, textured wool.
Stronger, Bolder
The Image below (click on ‘read more’) uses all the same techniques as above but without the third colour, the result is much more striking, focusing on blocks of bold colours to make a strong statement.

Salaam!
Oh I’m so loving this style! I’ve been wanting to wear hats, fedoras and alike, over my hijabs but I was told it didn’t look right. I personally believe it’s how you pull your style and make it like it’s effortless for you to wear things so they look natural on you, and THEN the fedoras won’t stand out too much from what you wear. Any ideas in how to make it look right?
