10 last-minute outfit ideas you can recreate from these hijabi insta-stars
We’re not ones to judge when it comes to last-minute shopping, because we’re running out of time, too! If you’re looking for something to wear on New Year’s Eve that still looks like you’ve really done your fashion homework, then this article is for you.
Here are 10 easy looks to recreate from Instagram’s top hijabi fashion bloggers.
THE LBD: LONG BLACK DRESS
Every girl needs the perfect LBD in her closet to dress up or down the way she wants. Whether you’re going to a formal black-tie event or an intimate family dinner, a chic black dress will always elevate your look. It looks even prettier with an overlay abaya and a fancy brooch. Here’s a look we love from Shahad AlQaysi dressed up in modest-fashion brand Miella, available on mysalaam.com.
FRINGE BINGE
We’ve watched the boho-chic trend transform during 2016, and it’s time to wave it goodbye with our New Year’s outfit. Instagram hijabi fashionista @sobi1canobi wears her fringes like a rock star, and so should you.
WRAP IT UP
All black everything. Think top/dress, pants, and shoes. Wearing black-on-black doesn’t have to be boring if you pair it with statement-making outerwear or accessories. Take a cue from Dalal AlDoub and throw on a statement scarf to take your outfit to the next level.
PUT THE FASHION IN FLASHIN’
Piling on glitter and sequins is so last year, ladies. Want to sparkle at midnight without looking like a human disco ball? Wear your metallics like Ascia AKF. Shiny fabrics and accessories are in, and from the looks of it, they’re here to stay.
WINTER PLUSH
Let’s face it, if it’s 10 degrees outside, you really won’t care what you’re wearing as long as it makes you feel warm. Enter this season’s hottest trend: velvet (and we don’t mean the cake). Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first hijab-wearing Muslim woman to qualify for the US Olympic fencing team, has launched Louella Shop, her very own modest-fashion brand, and their velvet dresses are just royal.
ATTENTION, PLEASE!
Every wardrobe needs statement-making outerwear. We’re talking coats and jackets that turn heads. Whether it’s a coat that comes in asymmetrical hems or loud prints, opt for a loud piece that would turn your most boring outfit into an Instagram-worthy one a la Dina Tokio.
LARGER THAN LIFE (AND YOUR SHOULDERS)
Instantly glam up your most ordinary abaya with Hassanah_pfh’s removable crystal appliques. Pair with a crystal statement-making necklace for full-throttle glamour.
STEP OUT IN YOUR PYJAMAS
Suffering from a severe case of clinomania? Well, take your obsession to the next level with this year’s street style trend: the pyjama look. Avoid the look if you’re short, though, and pick out a PJ suit in a trendy fabric like Maha ElShamy did here.
SUPERWOMAN CAPE
Beautiful, transitional, and great for colder temperatures. Style your cape abaya like @sincerelymaryam with a pair of liquid jeans or leather pants to dress it up for New Year’s, and you’re good to fly.
WHO RUN THE WORLD?
Here’s a trend we’re happy to borrow from the boys. Step out on New Year’s Eve in a monochrome tux like @Aya.massrii and kiss 2016 goodbye in style.
