Many people use fashion and style as a means of expressing themselves as an individual. However, for those who must adhere to certain rules based on their faith or religion, it can be difficult to be as fashionable without it being frowned upon. Fashionable modest Islamic clothing has been on the rise in recent times, allowing women of Islamic faith to also express themselves through style, without sacrificing their beliefs or values.
Islamic clothing is not tight or form-fitting. It is designed not to show off the figure, male or female, and should conceal the majority of the body. Arms and legs should not be on show, as well as the collarbone or decolletage. Men are not allowed to show any part of their body from their navel to their knee.
It is the belief that one should not be judged by their beauty and also should be known for their true selves and not an image portrayed by clothing. Furthermore, it is very important that one's manner of dress should be appropriate enough to conduct matters in a business atmosphere. Last, but not least, it is important to dress for comfort.
Even though you have to follow these rules when it comes to modesty, the good news is that you don't have any strict limitations to follow when it comes to style, fabric choice or even color. Traditionally, you will find a lot of dark colors like black, blue and grey being worn. However, you may very well incorporate a little bit of you into what you wear by choosing a different color, or even a print, into certain styles.
Women usually wear the abaya or the jilbab. The first is a very popular choice, which is a loose-fitting kaftan style with sleeves that covers the body to the ground. A jilbab is more like an overcoat or coat dress. Men can either wear a thobes, which is a full-length body covering, or a galabiyya - a long white robe.
In some Islamic societies, such as Iran, the chador is outerwear that has no fastenings or closures. It is cut like a cape, almost, in a semicircle that measures the length of the entire body. It is generally worn in public by women and girls alike. The garment goes over the head and is held closed by the wearer with her hands or tucked under the arms.
Though Islamic apparel can be very simple, there are other ways that one can incorporate a bit of style without going against the grain completely. Beaded trims or appliques are very popular to add something different, and not only color. The fabric choice can vary as well, even though cotton is often the top choice. Cotton is perfect for cooling the body in high temperatures, and also lasts longer due to being easy to care for.
Nailah Lymus is one of the top designers for this type of fashion. She has also incorporated separates into her line, giving women further options and freedom of expression while staying true to the Islamic faith. Her brand - Amirah Creations - has been shown on the runway at New York Fashion Week to very positive reviews. Lymus also offers trendy head coverings in lieu of the regular choice of the hijab for Muslim women.
