Many wear them simply because it is in vogue while others wear it out of obligation. Whatever the situation is, you no longer have to worry about the styling. This article shall help you understand how to wear hijab with maxi dress.

But first let us know – What is Hijab?

Hijab is a veil or headscarf which can be draped only on the head or to the whole body. A part of Islamic dressing, it conforms certain standard of modesty. There is a huge variety of simple, modern and fancy Hijabs such as printed, solid coloured, knotted or twisted, embellished etc. that you will be spoilt for choice.

How To Wear Hijab:

• Take a rectangular shaped Hijab.

• Place it on your head with one side longer than the other and one under the chin.

• Open your mouth to form an O and pin the scarf under your chin. By doing this, your jaw will have space to move around once the Hijab is in place.

• Wrap the longer side behind your head and bring it to the other side.

• Secure the Hijab behind your head and at the shoulder.

• Adjust as needed.

How To Choose The Right Hijab For A Maxi Dress:

It can be a bit tricky to choose the right Hijab that goes well with your maxi ensemble. Your Hijab can either be solid or printed but should complement the dress. Keep in mind the colour combination of the maxi dress and the Hijab. Also, it should be long enough to cover the front part of the dress. Follow a simple thumb rule to play safe – If you are wearing printed maxi dress, choose the colour of the Hijab from the colour palate of the print used and not the base colour of the maxi. This goes for other way round too; the print of the Hijab should embrace a colour same as of maxi dress.

How To Choose Fabric For Hijab?

The impression of the Hijab significantly depends on the fabric used. Silk, georgette and chiffon work best for Hijab. However, avoid jersey and knitted fabrics or fabric which is stiff, has rough texture or is of high GSM. Choose satin Hijab for night events as it emits a hint of luxury. Other fabrics to go for Hijabs are voile, polyester and viscose.

Summers are all about colours and light fabrics and maxi dress has become hijab’s best friend in this sundrenched season.
