Keeping it Casual
Another Simple Style
This was my attempt at making a plain jersey hoodie a little more interesting. You can’t really tell from these pics but when light shines through the lace you get pretty shadow tattoos on your cheek. I’ll get the full length pictures of the outfit up soon, but maybe not too soon- I wouldn’t want it to get samey.
If you have a request for an outfit idea then leave your comments below. I’m going off vintage shopping again soon so I’ll see what I dig up.

this is so nice! its hard finding a laid back look thats comfy and elegant! i think the black scarf is fine. as long as your hair is not showing and your body is modestly covered, that is all that matters…

That’s an ace hoody!
I’ve recently started wearing an abayah, so any tips or ideas as to what else I could wear with my abayah, or different colours that complement each other that I could wear would be greatly appreciated!

Salaams Tahira, ok so here are my top things to wear with abaya:
1. A shrunken or cropped leather jacket
2. A vintage tailored blazer
3. A bright long knitted cardigan
4. A gold cuff braceletPersonally I stick to a neutral or dark abaya then get creative with the top layer (jacket etc.) But the best thing is to try everything and see what works for you! x

Thanks!
I find plain abayas are better too, that way I can wear print hijabs/hoodies/cardies with them.

Fab as always Hana!
Love the idea of personalising the hoodie…I wear lots of them but often find them too plain or TOO blingy! So a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
I recently bought a GORGEOUS leather jacket from All Saints to wear over my abaya! In fact I have the items on your top tip list! Must mean I’m learning something. YAY!And I’m sooo excited about your collection I cant wait Inshaa Allah.
Take care

Salaam Hana,
Since you mentioned your going vintage shopping, I would love some tips about how to add a depression era (1920’s) look to my wardrobe!

Hi again Hana looking through my mums wardrobe i found a beautiful navy coloured skirt made of a thick jersey fabric, and it has a small gold belt detail near the center at the waist. its so nice but i have no idea what to wear it with without looking very nautical! any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Oh and also, what works with a brown skirt? Thanks!

awesome idea. I like the fact you get that extra aspect (the shadow) only sometimes.
have you ever thought of playing with reflectives in your designs too? they are something else that has an extra dimension but only sometimes!
