Summer [prob for hijabis]

hey all fashion gurus out there…

its that time of the year which i simply love at the same time get frustrated thinking about my outfits for school and work… winter is a blessing cuz i dont need to worry about wat kinda coat i should wear on top of my dress but summer always frustrate me…

I wear hijab and on top of my dress i have to wear a coat… and i like wearing pea coats simply cuz of the style.

I need help some serious help. :frowning:

If i wana buy it here in Canada any nice places that you know and again what kinda style would be best for summer. So i can keep my pardah at the same time dont give an impression to others that i have no sense of clothing :frowning:

If i wana get my coat made in pak (simply cuz its so hard to find summer coats) what kind of fabric, prints and colours i should choose and what kinda style i should go for… for summer.

Any other hijabi out there who already found the solution to this problem? Please share

i dont wear too too short coat and too long either… just above or about knee lenght.

Salaam Blindhope,

have you tried some websites , Shukr.co.uk and imaanscollection do some really lovely abayas. they are linen and cover you really well but not so that you can't maintain an element of 'trendiness' (for want of a better word..

i brought some from both these websites and everyone always comments on them!!!

Re: Summer [prob for hijabis]

thanks LittleMiss

well actually i am not really looking for abayas..... more like small coat just to cover up in summer..... cuz lets face it... shirts that we buy do expose .....and if i buy xL size that would jst look so bad on me.... :(

3 replies..... come on girls
share ur ideas.... even if u dont take hijaab.....

You can get summer coats, like trenches or macs. Bright colours are great for summer coats too. I don’t know where you can buy them in Canada but here are a few examples from UK shops:

Mid Length Single Breasted Poplin Mac - Marks & Spencer
Single Breasted Water Repellent Belted Mac - Marks & Spencer
Long Check Mac - Coats - New Look
Double Breasted Mac - Jackets - New Look
