Islamic dressing basics

Add a quirky twist to sandals with Tabi Socks

Sock it to me

For Muslimahs who cover there footsies tabi socks are an excellent way to make the most of sandals and peep-toes. The Japanese have started a very Muslim friendly trend here, they are cute, edgy, and are actually designed to be worn with sandals.

From plain to printed tabi socks are cute and comfortable

How to Choose Tabi

The best tabi socks are made of stretch fabric, not the normal sock fabric. This means that there is just one seam down the front and you can see if you hold it up that it’s shaped for a left or right foot. I only have one pair at the moment. I couldn’t find any utterly inspirational socks on the net, but for the plain white ones you can go to any traditional Japanese clothes site. My dad is over in Japan now and I asked him to pick me up some more printed ones so I’ll let you know what he comes up with inshAllah.

I love the cutesy look when worn with peep toes. The good thing is that even if they clash it kind of adds to the charm, it’s definitely a modest way to make a mini statement!
