I have been trying my hardest to diversify my style as a Muslimah by trying to innovate different styles while being modest however, once the look is complete it tends to look insipid. I need to be able to match the hijab with the entire ensemble. I want a hip chic and modern look that is according to the Islamic code. Is there anyway you can help me?

They always help to elongate the silhouette. Hope that helped! Assalamualaikum Silivia,

If you are more curvier, then try wearing a maxi dress that:
a) is not made of clingy materials
b) is mostly pattered with bold colors on the bottom, if you are bigger on top
c) is a-lined to deemphasize the hips, if you are wider around the hips
d) is layered with a jacket, cardigan, or a collared shirt that’s unbuttoned
e) is solid, neutral or dark in color paired with accessories that are vibrant, chunky

And don’t forget the heels =)). They always help to elongate the silhouette. Hope that helped!

I was very impressed by your site (which I found through BBC!) as I am striving to wear according to the Islamic code but peeping at Italian fashion and I can't combine the two properly. I think your ideas and styles are very nice, but I also think I have difficulties in taking inspiration from it for myself as I'm not thin as you so I worry for example maxy dresses would still be above the lines for me. Can you help me sister? Thank you a lot!!! Silvia, Rome. Dear Hana,
