Re: Hijab and ‘Asian clothes’
Actually, I did not pin it the way Mabrook described. This is what I did.
I folded the dupatta in half lengthwise.
Then I placed the folded dupatta over my head, with one side a little longer than the other.
I took both sides to the back and tied them and brought both sides to the front again. That is, the shorter side was now where the longer side was, and the longer side was where the shorter side was.
I then took the shorter side from one corner (where it was folded), took it across my chest and pinned it to my shoulder using a safety pin.
With the longer side and still folded, I took it under my chin, over my head and brought it to the other side of my face. I then pinned it under my chin with a safety pin.
And that’s it!
I did the same style in both of the pictures above.
With this style, you have the options of wearing earrings as well. I used to wear earrings - but the long dangling ones. Please no hoops.
I don’t do this style anymore since the dupattas these days are really long and like to hang them along side me (make me look thinner LOL)
