Someone Starts A ‘Best Dressed Hijabi Edition’ Thread And The Photos Look Too Cool

The caption “best dressed Hijabi edition to give u inspo” speaks for itself. Beautiful, colorful, experimental, creative, modern and unique, these are some of the best dressers of the Muslim world.
From niqabi skater girls to super fashionable influencers wearing abayas, get ready for some mega fashionistas who prove that religious code is yet another way to take your style to a whole new level! No wonder the thread blew up with 54.9K retweets and comments, as well as 237.2K likes adoring these fashion goals big time.

Wow, this one is particularly stunning, she looks like she belongs in some 1920's period drama!
According to the Global Islamic Economy report, the worldwide market for Muslim clothing is forecast to be worth £281B by 2020. It just shows how much room for creativity and exploration there is in the Muslim fashion industry for both business and wearers alike.
However, some misconceptions on fashion in the Muslim world are still going strong, which keeps us away from more dramatic change. One British-Japanese designer and visual artist named Hana Tajima believes that "The biggest misconception is that there is such a thing as Muslim fashion.” In reality, “it's all just clothing.”
A step towards bringing the Muslim world into fashion was made back in 2016 by Muslim designer Anniesa Hasibuan, who presented a collection at New York Fashion Week. Inspired by her hometown Jakarta, the designer presented flowy trousers and tunics, and all models were wearing hijabs.
She wrote on Instagram: "I believe fashion is one of the outlets in which we can start that cultural shift in today's society to normalize hijab in America so as to break down stereotypes and demystify misconceptions.” And the standing ovations proved society is finally moving towards this.
Cafe de Flore!! Oh how I miss Paris. (And the outfit is rockin!! <3 )
BP stands up for diversity and freedom, but is obsessed with Hijabis. It is indeed very fashionable in these photos, and probably these women wear it voluntarily. Arguably, though, most women don't, either due to legislation or societal pressure. Advocating the hijab as a piece of fashion thus feels wrong to me.
Regardless of being fashionable, the hijab is worn as a tool of oppression for millions of women worldwide. There's nothing glamorous about glorifying it. And despite what Western muslim women might say about it being a choice, we have no idea whether or not they are being forced to by an oppressive patriarchal figure such as a father, brother or husband at home or behind the scenes.
They look beautiful and I imagine they are wearing them willingly. I wish that was the case for all of the others.
ugh please tell me where i can find all these people and flooood them with loves they are so powerful and stunning oh my lordie lord i actually wear a hijab myself and it is very empowering to see other women feeling able to post them online!
Gorgeous photos! These ladies all have such an amazing sense of style.
I think those of us who are not from a Muslim culture will never fully understand it. Maybe if you lived there a long time. But even then it would be an opinion without the emotional load that the people (women) born in it carry.
These are stunning, and I have a feeling they live in Western countries and thus wear a hijab by choice. They would never be allowed to be wearing such form fitting outfits in Easter countries.
I don't know much about Hijab culture, but I think all of these ladies are awesome to do a photoshoot like this and a lot of their looks look great.
The fashion game is strong in these ladies. Some of the layered looks were stunning. Gorgeous women, gorgeous photos.
Opinions regarding the headscarf aside, I love all the Oxford bags! My favourite trouser cut!
christianity=bad,forbid woman not wearing hijabs=good,strong,beautiful,independent and fashionable
