Start Young with Girl’s Abayas

Don’t you find it adorable when you see young girls decked up with a headscarf or an Abaya – a seemingly familiar sight on those special days of festivities like Eid! Many Mothers while raising their young daughters often have found it hard to get a modest wear for their girls when teaching the core value of modesty. Many a times mothers have to resort to their own DIY while teaching Namaaz for the lack of any suitable ‘go-to’ dress. Realizing the need of the hour, there are many companies investing their ideas in such garments.

Abaya for kids are now a days readily available- a trend which is in rage these days and is now, not only relegated to the Middle Eastern quarters but has moved internationally and into the heart of America and England where such kids could be easily seen sporting these. (All thanks to the E-tailers available to lap up such demands.) Moreover, these Abayas have also found a firm footing in the age groups ranging from pre-teens to late –teens. It starts as a pre-cursor to adapt to comfortable clothing and a good learning practice towards modest dressing in helping to understand ethics and sensibilities. Given the fact these girls are young, there’s always a constant attempt to make the clothes a lil’ bit more endearing to wear....

How About Some Islamic Scarf Today?

Seriously, is there any woman out there who doesn’t own a scarf? I mean you don’t have to be a fashion veteran or be doing the rounds of fashion corridors to realize its importance. Scarves tend to add grace, to your ensemble plus act as a part of the layer scheme providing more depth to define your look. Period!

They have been a part of almost all iconic fashionistas’ must have list. Talking about the English women  styling it earlier, it got adorned over the statement hats if not the nape of their neck. Be it belting it as a fabric tie to clinch waist or being worn out as a camouflaged muffler, scarves have plenty of reasons to make it to your wardrobe list, if they haven’t already and the reasons are other than the obvious styling and utility. For the uninitiated, you could Google the YouTube videos on top 10 or top 30 ways to style your scarf videos, and you’ll know what I mean. Winks!

And perhaps that’s the reason owing to its versatility that it has had many takers from all parts of the world resonating with women’s innate fashion call. The Muslim women too wear the scarf but as a hijab i.e. head covering which adequately covers their hair. The Islamic scarf for women is retailed a bit differently with different assigned patterns, lengths and material which come under the banner of halal dressing. In simple words motifs which are deemed Islamic or halal!

Like for one, we know that the set patterns do not have to have any facial representation as it goes against the tenets of halal dress code nor should bear any picture of anything living or dead. Such women’s scarves also bear a good length for ample coverage of hair and borne out of material which usually is not a ‘slip affair’ on the head. (Just imagine the multiple pins on the head to help tuck in a chiffon scarf on the head and nonetheless we still have many takers for Pashminas, and such is the irony) I guess it’s also imperative that I point out that Islamic scarves have a propensity towards eastern prints and fabrics with the orientlist elements being reproduced time and again. So you’ll easily find a pashmina with a rich Egyptian embroidery or a cotton scarf with a tie & dye dual print. Time you fancy a new scarf, eh?

Summers, Tan & Salwar Suits

Salwar kameez is probably a term you must have been cognizant with by now, coz it’s not only a staple attire for most of the ladies in the south Asiatic belt of India, Pakistan & Bangladesh (or at least was, until some years ago) but is also globally recognized quite contrary to its humble beginnings. It is an indigenous rendering of a traditional Persian attire which gradually got a regional stamp with different cultures thriving along the belt. Today, you could easily see many varied renditions of salwar suits globally in the works of Middle Eastern designers toying with the idea of pallazo pants and shirt –tunics in their creations. So much so that even many International celebrities have donned this attire for the sheer love for this outfit. Do you still remember the iconic picture of Princess Diana in a golden salwar suit while dating a Pakistani surgeon, do you?

And coming back to our discussion, the latest fad to hit the desi- community is of long shirt dresses or salwars along with Pallazo Pants -courtesy Pakistan

But by all means none can discount the utility of salwar kameez suits. For the lack of a better word, there’s nothing which can give you the triple advantages of modesty, comfort and style all rolled into one. The scarf or ‘dupatta’ as we call it forms the third part of the outfit which is either styled on head, chest, scarved around the neck or completely done away with as per the preference of the wearer. However, its mass popularity could also be linked to the geographical location of these countries. Given the fact that south Asia especially the aforementioned countries fall in the combination of sub-tropics and sub- temperate regions, the summers weather brutally harsh on the people of this belt. And that is precisely the reason there’s an upscale in sale of cotton salwar kameez during summers...

Make Room for Plus Size Clothing in Islamic Wear

With every other day, a news bulletin running a story on body-image issues of teen-age girls and sometimes pre-teens starving themselves to death to get the perfect hour-glass figure or the growing obesity in young kids of European and Asian nation makes one wonder for how long this food-paradox would continue? These extreme cases of bulimia and obesity have now taken a toll on the psyche of young and old. The internalized guilt of ‘not being too thin’ enough to fit into a certain size gets further triggered owing to the rampant commercialization in food and clothing. The size zero phenomenon does in no way help towards positive body image building

One is left to wonder, why the hour-glass ‘stick figures’ are only allowed to walk the ramp in fashion shows, even though it’s a far fetched picture of the normal body mass index recommended by doctors. As per psychologists Two in ten cases of depression are related to people who are not satisfied with their body –type and hence resort to many malpractices to satiate their conscience. It’s only lately that corporates have woken up to realize the crying needs of these people owing to the collaborated efforts of NGO’s and growing protests by self-help groups world over.

Little comes to surprise that when the general masses suffer through the problem of outfits not available in adequate sizes then there’s almost negligible solace left of plus sizers in Islamic –wear community. More often than not, this neglected lot has to come up with certain DIY tricks to satiate the fashion-bug in them. It’s either the top is too tight or the neck –line is too low for the women who are modest dressers. Moreover, not every garment in the store could be classified into the halaal category. The Islamic plus sizers also have to deal with the exorbitant prices of certain garments which are both halal and available as plus size Islamic clothing is still a small market and needs ample recognition, so the industry which recognizes the niche is cashing on the poor victims of a further marginalized lot...

Essentials of a Daily Namaaz

Now if I am to quiz you about the daily commodities essential for offering Salah, chances are you’ll end up starting with the Prayer rug itself which is better known as Jaenamaz. Now, we all know that the basic purpose of a prayer rug is to provide a clean foothold for prayer as mandated. So it’s an obvious spot-on in any Muslim house-hold. The next one on the check list is prayer beads. We all get confused counting on fingers don’t we? We have quite a collection on that one too.

So we thought of compiling a collection from our end to meet the needs used in prayer. Hold your horses for the ideal clothes for namaz or the Muslim thobes comes in later.

Starting off, we have a Hot Pink & Silver, JaeNamez Prayer Rug ideally suitable for young maidens who’d love to imbibe a bit of their girl –quotient even on the rug. A handi-work of spirals and silver makes it sassy and sweet! We’ve had many young takers for this one as well as mothers taking this as a stepping –stone for their young daughters to help establish prayers. Next we have another version in Brown & Silver, JaeNamez Prayer Rugs with traditional art in the centre. The third one, a Pink JaeNamaz is again a favorite with girls and mothers. The soft pink manages to capture the attention at the right place. Endowed with rich art-work, the silver play on the rug makes it a must –have. Finally we have some fresh greens in this green JaeNamaz with geometrical patterns. The interplay of silver with varied colors is an interesting mix. The Maroon Base JaeNamaz too works wonder in its feel and look.

We have a variety in prayer beads too. Some are color coded like the one we have in Purple and White, Tasbeeh while others are a simple rendition of the traditional pearly green bead in colors light green. You have other eclectic colors in aqua blue, basic black and light yellow too. Yes we also feature the famous Wood-Brown Tasbeeh as well as transparent Clear Tasbeeh.

I think it’s time for some Ibadaah, what say?

Islamic Clothing in Haute Couture?

Haute couture is a French term which connotes ‘high dressmaking’. Though it’s easier to say that little has remained of the term as of now coz many designers have given their own interpretation to (let’s say exploited) the term to satiate the desire of the market. However, there are many distinct markers synonymous with the same and Haute couture seems to be the flavor of every season in every fashion capital, market or gully.

So what are these markers?

Firstly, there isn’t any cardinal rule to exactly watermark couture from non-couture but with time it has come to common knowledge that an exorbitantly priced garment made out of rare or expensive fabric rendering itself to exclusivity in design, make and its number as well as is custom-fitted to suit the need of the buyer is all what Haute couture defines.

Phew, now that we covered it, lately hybrid trends have contributed into intermixing of various styles and culture amalgamation giving rise to a niche industry which is-Islamic Couture!

The designer Islamic clothing has now become synonymous with high-end dresses like gowns. The rich endowment of a trousseau with precious stones, or intricate handi-work on the fabric goes a long way in stamping the couture tag on the outfit. Though Ramp walks are mostly replete with flowy floor length gowns or skirts and pants it seems that Islamic couture has entered into the skin of the young fashionistas lately, for these dresses are not only relegated to the fashion circuit. Though more often than not high street Muslim fashion has come in the eye of the storm, owing to the stricter diktats of certain Ullemas on Muslim fashion...

The Fancy World of Hijab Pins

One of the most common pet-peeves of our practicing sisters wearing a hijab is to maintain it all up there throughout the day. And the problem becomes more instrumental in the case of our new sisters trying the HIjab. Keeping it firm on the head all day long seems a herculean task enough for the newbies and might spell out the same for the veterans too if they haven’t mastered the art of maintaining firm hijabs with their tricks and twitches. A firm hijab is also essential to maintain the many scarf –styles (read many-folds voluminous hijab, hoody hijab, side hijab,) to cast a modest picture of your personal style.

So what do we know and have what have we learnt so far? The problem and here comes the solution. The answer ladies is Hijab pins. These hijab pins are not your regular metallic pins more in sync with surgical boxes but ornamental broaches. Except for the usage the appearance differs from the regular ones to add to your look. Let me brief you that Hijab pins not only accentuates your scarf by doubling as an accessory but also fastens it firm to the under scarf or scarf itself maintaining your folds and layers tucked in and neat.

The market is replete with myriad choices and one can go bonkers over some. A piece of advice - while fishing out ‘your’ hijab pins make sure that you also select it for its utility as some are just ornamental without feasibility of being used as good pins. So now that we covered it, let me make your life easier by offering our line on the same. Introducing EE’s fresh take on Hijab pins.

KOSHBO PIN- This ornamental rose pin carries a gold base with two stones. The studs make sure that the roving eyes set at the right spot. An ideal wear on something floral.

FLOWER BASKET PIN- This exquisite piece is a little treasure in its own right. Notice the tiny leaf like structures adding more dimensions to the broach. A total must have.

DIAMOND PIN- This disk shaped pin comes with a large stone at the centre surrounded with mini-crystals to finish off the elegant look.

A handy advice when using these pins: try and go for a monotone hijab to make the pin prominent enough!

The Growing Popularity of Modest Swimming Suits

When we talk about a swimsuit, usually we visualise a dress which is skimpy, in the form of a 2-piece bikini or a 1-piece swim wear, just apt for the perfect body. But not all women are comfortable in wearing such swim wears. Plus there are various other reasons for an Islamic woman not preferring a regular swimwear. But does that mean that such women should avoid going for a swim or to the beach? No not at all.

Fortunately, nowadays, designers and apparel companies especially those dealing in Muslim clothing have come up with women’s modest swimwear to make Islamic women feel confident and look good at the beach or at the swimming pool without compromising their modesty and decency.

Tips to Get the Perfect Look While Wearing a Salwar Kameez

When we talk about ethnic wear, salwar kameez tops the chart as women not only find it stylish, but also extremely comfortable to wear. The dress is popular among women of all age groups and women love choosing different patterns and designs. Purchasing from a salwar kameez shop online gives you an opportunity to go through the plethora of options available. We bring to you some tips that can help you get the perfect look while wearing the apparel.

Focus on the Fitting

It is always a great decision to choose a salwar kameez that is a little loose. A salwar kameez that is too tight will amplify your curves – wearing such clothes is forbidden in Islam. Also, if you choose a salwar kameez that has little room, you will feel comfortable. While shopping online, make sure you have a look at the sizing chart provided alongside the apparel. Compare your measurements with those given in the sizing chart- this will help you choose a salwar kameez of the right fit.

Choose Colors According to Your Body Type

Not many people pay attention to this, but it is extremely important to choose the color of the salwar kameez according to your body type. Women having a slim appearance can go for pastel shades, and women who are on the heavier side, must opt for a salwar kameez of a darker shade as this is sure to give a slimmer appearance.

Pay Attention to the Cut of the Apparel

While choosing a salwaar kameez, make sure you pay attention to the cut of the apparel. The right cut will compliment your body type and will give you a slimmer look. Women having a slim or an hourglass shaped body type must go for a straight cut salwar kameez. On the other hand, if you have a pear shaped body, opt for anarkali suits.

Length of the sleeves Need to be chosen carefully

Muslim women must be a little cautious about the length of the sleeves while choosing a salwar kameez. Since covering the hands is an essential Islamic dressing rule, it must be kept in mind that you choose a salwar kameez with long sleeves. This will give a trim appearance to your hands and at the same time will help you abide by the Islamic rules and regulations.

Do Not Overdo

As a popular saying goes, 'All that glitters is not gold'. Choosing a simple salwar kameez can make you look extremely elegant. Choose a simple salwar kameez with minimal or no embellishment and carry off the apparel with a stylish hijab.

This classic apparel was already popular in India, but in the recent years it has gained immense popularity all across the globe. Many women purchase salwar kameez online in USA.

How to Buy a Jilbab Online?

One of the biggest concern of an online shopper is, “I have bought an outfit, now will it fit me or not?” One needs to be extremely careful while choosing clothes online, so that you don't have to get the clothes replaced. Today, most Muslim women prefer shopping from online Islamic sites as one can find a huge variety of clothing options in various designs, patterns and colors. A jilbab is one of the popular Islamic outfits for Muslim women and one can find numerous stylish jilbabs online. The only trick you must know is how to select a jilbab of the right measurement. The following guide will help you make the right choice:

What to Measure

Before we tell you how to measure, it is important to know what you need to measure. There are a few measurements that you must certainly have with you, before you start shopping. Those measurements are:

• Height: Measure your complete height.
• The Length of the Jilbab: For this, you must take the measurement from the middle of the back shoulder till the heel. The jilbab you select must drop till your heels, as covering the entire body is one of the major dressing rules of Islam.
• Shoulder Width: The width of the shoulders must be sized by taking the measurement between the shoulder edges. Muslims should not wear clothes that cling to the body thus, it is important to take the correct measurements.
• The Sleeves of the Jilbab: This length should be from the edge of the shoulders till the wrist. Make sure you carefully take this measurement as keeping the hands covered is an important Islam dressing rule.
• Bust Measurement: Always make sure that the Jilbab is loose and does not cling to your body. Take the measurements from under the arms and measure the entire bust area.
• Hip Measurement: Measure the area around the hips.

How to Measure: Tips and Tricks

• Length: To measure the length, make sure you add 1 inch to the measurement from the mid shoulder to the heels. If you take the exact measurements till the heels, the Jilbab might appear short if you wear sandals having heels.
• Bust: While taking the bust measurement, add around 4 and a half inches to your bust size. This will ensure that the Jilbab will not cling to the body.
• Hip: Once you have taken your hip measurement, add around 5 inches to the original measurement.

Once you have noted all the above mentioned measurements, go to the size chart that the online shopping stores provide alongside the garments they offer. See what suits you the best, and make a selection.

Ways to Look Classy in Islamic Scarves

An impressive style statement does not necessarily need flashy accessories. A simple Islamic scarf is far more fashionable than it seems. Known by the traditional name "Hijab", this scarf can be teamed up with most of your outfits, adding a modish appeal to your modest look.

Pick a shade that matches your personality:

While the black and gray shades hold their importance, you can go for prismatic hues for a more blissful look. Choose vibrant shades if you have a bold personality. On the contrary, if you are more of a reserved person, wear scarves of muted tones. Make sure that the rest of your outfit complements the scarf.

Consider your eye color:

While wearing a hijab, it is preferable to choose a color that accentuates your eyes. Violet, blue and teal are a fine match for brown eyes. Bright green eyes can be complemented well by beautiful shades like pink, peach and red colors.

Style 1:

This is the most common way of wearing the Islamic scarf. It works best with a square-shaped scarf made of lightweight fabric like satin or cotton. In winters, you can opt for wool scarves. Two scarf pins will be required to secure the scarf. Fold the scarf along the diagonal to make it triangular. Place it on your head, keeping the longest side of the triangle at front, and the third corner at the back. Use the pin to join the two sides just below your chin. Bring the tails opposite to each other around your neck and pin them together at the back of your head. Adjust the scarf accordingly, so that it stays secure. You can wear the scarf in this style while going for work or while attending college....

A Glance at the Different Styles and Types of Maternity Abayas

Abayas are specially designed to meet the needs of Muslim moms and they are available at numerous online stores, as well as retail outlets. They are trendy, casual and comfortable, just perfect for the modern Muslim women, who in addition to being stylish, want to maintain tradition and modesty in their dressing style.

Following are different styles of maternity abayas that work both during pregnancy, as well as after birth:

Butterfly Abayas: In this style of abayas, a seam is stitched into the fabric, which brings excess fabric on the sides, creating a wavy look for the garment. The seams are easily adjustable, as the previous seam can be removed and a new one can be stitched either outside or inside the previous seam. They are highly preferred by pregnant Muslim women as the seams can be altered according to the space requirement on the waist or hips, during the different stages of pregnancy. They can also be brought back to the original size after pregnancy.

Bisht Abayas: This type of abayas have an open width and are very loose, as the waist measures around 100 inches. It can be worn by slim as well as full-figured pregnant women. The open width of the garment makes it comfortable to be worn during the entire duration of pregnancy. Altering the dress is not required. Another important benefit is that there is an abundance of fabric in the garment and it is designed in a way that tones down the size of the belly, making a woman look slimmer. This abaya can be worn even after pregnancy, as it doesn't give the appearance of a maternity abaya.

Shoulder Close Abayas: These abayas are very popular and are sometimes preferred over the other two. Shoulder close abayas have an open design. A piece of fabric is attached to the shoulder and it can be wrapped around the front, giving it a closed look. As the abaya is open, it is flexible around the waist and hip area. The fabric can be loosened as the pregnancy progresses.

Maternity abayas are loose fitting with easy front openings and they come in a wide range of colors. Along with other features that make the clothing more convenient and comfortable for pregnant ladies and new moms, they are also available in V-Necks and long zippers. These abayas will fit a lady throughout her pregnancy, as her belly keeps growing.

Islamic Thobes: Taking Islamic Fashion to the next Level

Thobe is a favorite traditional dress that provides an unique identity to Muslim men. Thobes are also called Dishdasha, Suriyah or Kandura in different parts of the world. One can avail thobes in varied lengths depending on his requirement. The short thobes are a symbol of modesty. On the other hand, long thobes exhibit royalty and elite status of the wearer. The most preferred fabric used for designing a thobe is cotton. Woolen material is also used for designing Islamic thobes for men, that are worn by men during the winter season. Apart from cotton and wool, thobes are also designed using georgette, polyester and other light fabrics. Lighter fabric thobes are comparatively casual in terms of look. These are normally worn by the wearers on a daily basis.

Men in different Islamic countries wear thobes in their own typical style. These full-length apparels offer versatility to the wearer. An Islamic thobe for men can be made using both embroidered as well as printed fabric. The most striking feature of a thobe is its  sparkling embroidery around the neck and the cuffs. Some formal thobes come with sequins that give a special look to the garment. Formal thobes are a little expensive and are thus worn by rich men on special occasions like wedding, Eid etc. One can distinguish a thobe style on the basis of its design and cut.

Across the world, there is an availability of different types of thobes. Just like shirts, you will find some thobes having collars, and each sleeve of these thobes is designed with buttons at the cuff. Also, to give the thobes an attractive and appealing look, buttons are placed in the middle of the garment. To further enhance the appearance of the garment, designers have detailed the same with a chest pocket. Muslim men generally wear a flannel shirt underneath the thobe. This flannel shirt is usually a cotton t-shirt of white color. These shirt-like thobes are worn along with long and loose white pants.....
