Women have a lot of options to try with Islamic clothing. Some of the clothing staples can be worn in a much more stylish manner. Here are some trendy ways to wear Islamic clothing for summer.

• Maxi Dresses: Summer is the perfect time to wear maxi dresses. You can team these with shiny jewelry to glam up the look. For a more casual look, these can be paired with a jacket and flat sandals. You can also cover it up at the top with a boxy spring jacket or a long cardigan.
• Tunics: Tunics are a popular trend during the summers. Sheer linen or lightweight cotton is the ideal fabric. You can wear a long tunic as a dress. Another option is to wear it as a shirt and team it with lightweight silk pants.
• Hijabs: A traditional veil to cover the head and chest, hijab has become an appealing aspect in Islamic clothing for women. It keeps your head cool during summers. The printed ones are more popular these days. For an edgy look, wear a python-print hijab with any desired outfit. Silk, chiffon and handwoven bamboo are the suitable fabrics.
• Neutral Pants: Black, White or Khaki-colored pants are good enough to match almost anything. There are many varieties such as brocade, lace-cut embroidery and wide-leg pants. For summer, lighter shades and lightweight fabrics are more preferable. 
• Caftans: Just like tunics, caftans too can be worn as long-sleeved shirts or as a complete dress. Stylish in look and comfortable to wear, caftans look modest. It is better to choose a lightweight fabric like cotton, to keep the body cool. A caftan with a beaded print is best for day look. For the evening look, you can add a trendy belt to the same. 
• Long skirts: These are a staple in Islamic clothing for women. Team these with long-sleeved tops, beautiful earrings, stylish flats or sandals and a sleek hijab for a chic look. Long skirts can be worn for multiple occasions.
