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

ADVERTISEMENT

Not only does fashion come in all shapes and sizes, it also comes in various cultures, religions and beliefs. This viral thread by a Twitter user who goes by the handle @seokthestallion encapsulates precisely that.

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.

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.

Ironically, Hijabs etc were originally invented to hide a woman's beauty to make her less desirable to men other than her husband. These Hijabs appear to be attempting to do the opposite and make the woman more attractive. Why don't they just .... oh, never mind. lol

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.

Ami Temi 4 years ago

I get what you're trying tot say. I'm Muslim myself and many of us fight everyday against the patriarchal, archaic, so called religious views that are part part of some cultures and in essence don't have anything to do with religion. Men wanting to tell women how to be is still very 'popular' everywhere and logically to be found in areas torn apart by conflicts the people there have nothing to do with. It only takes a short history lesson to see this everywhere. BP was never obsessed with Hijabis and maybe you mean, Muslims in general. This was probably the second post ever I saw like this. The bottom line is: these are beautiful, stylish ladies enjoying life, something women should be able to do everywhere. I think they're just very pretty and fun, so just let them be, please. I don't wear a headscarf or something similar and dress just like my neighbours, still, it was enough for them to pick on me. If you try to find something to hate someone for, that's easy to do.

Sorry, I couldn't reply directly to your answer. I certainly understand what you mean and totally agree that a forceful society should not exist and hiding behind religion is often used by an oppressive society. That's why I feel secularization should be the norm. I just wanted to point out some things, albeit in quite a long post. Thanks and have a nice day!

Actually I think it’s the other way around. The Majority of hijabs (including me) wear it by choice. With the exceptional number one women who are victims of governmental oppression and social pressure. So no, ‘most woman” do where it as a choice.

3points

Jefferina 1 year ago

I get what you're saying, but literally only in countries such as Afghanistan and Iran is the hijab forced. In every other country, particularly in the West, every Muslim woman you see makes a conscious decision to wear the hijab and it is their choice. I personally love how BP has posts about the hijab because it makes me feel seen. And the hijab can totally be fashionable! God knows I need help with that 😅 But if we don't advocate the hijab as a piece of fashion, the opposite is to advocate it as a piece of oppression, and I don't agree with that

0points

Andrew P Jump 4 years ago

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.

I am from Egypt in the middle east and women here are free to wear hijab or not, I started wearing when I was 38 years old without being asked the same goes in most of the Islamic countries except some region in Saoudi, so millions is a very big number I don't believe is correct, I immigrated to the US 3 years ago and I was astonished of how western society think we are leaving, I was asked several time how my tent looks like in Egypt! and I am an MBA holder :-)

Oh my goodness! People!! The hijab is not a symbol of oppression!!! It's a symbol of a woman's commitment to God. The majority of people DO wear it as a choice, especially those who you see in the West. And how do you know that? Because being a hijab-wearing woman means you face God knows what every single day. But we still wear the hijab. Putting on the hijab every time you step outside the house is a choice, and yes it's hard to wear it, but it's also so freeing. Honestly my biggest problem with people's comments regarding my wearing of the hijab is their assumption that I'm oppressed/the hijab is oppressive/Islam is a patriarchal and abusive religion. Like, no! I will glorify my hijab till the end because it's a part of me and I love it so much.

You know, I'm from a very religous family. My father is very strict about Islam, but never once he forced me or my mother to wear hijab. Even my reason to wear hijab is because I'm just lazy to do my hair. Lol. Now I'm married, my husband might be like it when wear hijab, but never even told me to wear one. I wear it because it's convenient for me.

You are absolutely correct in that you will never really understand hijab living in a minority muslim country. Thank you for realising that.I find it really annoying how we Muslims are schooled about our own religion by people who've probably never even met a muslim.many muslim women are pressured into adopting hijab and end up hating it and giving it up half way. On the other hand u'll be surprised to know the pushback many hijabis receive in their own communities. Some are told to ditch their hijab on their wedding day.some men pressure their wives to leave their hijab so that they can show of their beuty to friends. My sister has been flatly told by another muslim women to take of her hijab for a job. The list goes on. Also not practicing hijab is not a one way ticket to freedom. Look at the high rates of plastic surgery in brazil, south k and lebabon.look at the stupid mandatory high heels work policy in japan etc..

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.

I get what you're trying tot say. I'm Muslim myself and many of us fight everyday against the patriarchal, archaic, so called religious views that are part part of some cultures and in essence don't have anything to do with religion. Men wanting to tell women how to be is still very 'popular' everywhere and logically to be found in areas torn apart by conflicts the people there have nothing to do with. It only takes a short history lesson to see this everywhere. BP was never obsessed with Hijabis and maybe you mean, Muslims in general. This was probably the second post ever I saw like this. The bottom line is: these are beautiful, stylish ladies enjoying life, something women should be able to do everywhere. I think they're just very pretty and fun, so just let them be, please. I don't wear a headscarf or something similar and dress just like my neighbours, still, it was enough for them to pick on me. If you try to find something to hate someone for, that's easy to do.

Sorry, I couldn't reply directly to your answer. I certainly understand what you mean and totally agree that a forceful society should not exist and hiding behind religion is often used by an oppressive society. That's why I feel secularization should be the norm. I just wanted to point out some things, albeit in quite a long post. Thanks and have a nice day!

Actually I think it’s the other way around. The Majority of hijabs (including me) wear it by choice. With the exceptional number one women who are victims of governmental oppression and social pressure. So no, ‘most woman” do where it as a choice.

I get what you're saying, but literally only in countries such as Afghanistan and Iran is the hijab forced. In every other country, particularly in the West, every Muslim woman you see makes a conscious decision to wear the hijab and it is their choice. I personally love how BP has posts about the hijab because it makes me feel seen. And the hijab can totally be fashionable! God knows I need help with that 😅 But if we don't advocate the hijab as a piece of fashion, the opposite is to advocate it as a piece of oppression, and I don't agree with that

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.

I am from Egypt in the middle east and women here are free to wear hijab or not, I started wearing when I was 38 years old without being asked the same goes in most of the Islamic countries except some region in Saoudi, so millions is a very big number I don't believe is correct, I immigrated to the US 3 years ago and I was astonished of how western society think we are leaving, I was asked several time how my tent looks like in Egypt! and I am an MBA holder :-)

Oh my goodness! People!! The hijab is not a symbol of oppression!!! It's a symbol of a woman's commitment to God. The majority of people DO wear it as a choice, especially those who you see in the West. And how do you know that? Because being a hijab-wearing woman means you face God knows what every single day. But we still wear the hijab. Putting on the hijab every time you step outside the house is a choice, and yes it's hard to wear it, but it's also so freeing. Honestly my biggest problem with people's comments regarding my wearing of the hijab is their assumption that I'm oppressed/the hijab is oppressive/Islam is a patriarchal and abusive religion. Like, no! I will glorify my hijab till the end because it's a part of me and I love it so much.

You know, I'm from a very religous family. My father is very strict about Islam, but never once he forced me or my mother to wear hijab. Even my reason to wear hijab is because I'm just lazy to do my hair. Lol. Now I'm married, my husband might be like it when wear hijab, but never even told me to wear one. I wear it because it's convenient for me.

They look beautiful and I imagine they are wearing them willingly. I wish that was the case for all of the others.

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.

You are absolutely correct in that you will never really understand hijab living in a minority muslim country. Thank you for realising that.I find it really annoying how we Muslims are schooled about our own religion by people who've probably never even met a muslim.many muslim women are pressured into adopting hijab and end up hating it and giving it up half way. On the other hand u'll be surprised to know the pushback many hijabis receive in their own communities. Some are told to ditch their hijab on their wedding day.some men pressure their wives to leave their hijab so that they can show of their beuty to friends. My sister has been flatly told by another muslim women to take of her hijab for a job. The list goes on. Also not practicing hijab is not a one way ticket to freedom. Look at the high rates of plastic surgery in brazil, south k and lebabon.look at the stupid mandatory high heels work policy in japan etc..

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.
