Oversized or delicately designed hoods, there is so much to love.

A Hijab History

A look in to his past seasons show that his love of understated luxury and exquisite design has always been a big part of his aesthetic. His style is investment pieces rather than changing with the tide of trends, and I think if your going to spend that kind of money then it should be just that.

The hoods are so close to being headscarves it’s hard not to see the comparison with Islamic fashion. I would love to wear one of these stunning hoods, they look so elegant.

Still So Fresh

These past seasons still look fresh and have those long lasting trends that never go out of style. I love his colour combinations which are so refined and grown up, but the dramatic cuts and shapes mean they are as far from dowdy as they can be.

I love the blue, it's stunning and perfectly hijab fiendly.

Get the Look

Super Size Try oversized tops and jackets, wrap them and tie with a belt but fold the fabric over the belt to hide body shape.

Tone Down Keep colours to a minimum, take one colour and play around with shades close to it.

Texture Because you’re keeping colours straightforward you can go wild with texture. Sheers, satin and metalics make great accents.

Layer The key is Layering, get a basic look and then add on sheer layers or interesting drape. (Top Tip: take a lightweight jacket/cardigan or wrap dress and wear it upside down, you’ll get a really interesting shape.)
