The Fashionable Muslimah
by Khadija Jeewa

Flamboyant, eccentric, understated or just plain boring...many words can be used to describe the latest fashion. And as young ladies we love to follow it none-the-less. Being a Muslimah is a beautiful gift so let us not compromise our Islamic standards in order to be fashionable.

A classic plain black abaya is the Muslimahs alternative to the essential L.B.D (Little Black Dress). Ideally it should be one tailored especially for you.
It definitely is a worthwhile investment as it can be worn time and again. Accessorized properly you can create many different looks without making a hole in your pocket.

By just adding a different coloured handbag or scarf or a bright pair of pumps, you instantly make a statement.

Use your imagination, use what’s being lying in your cupboard for ages, use something that has just become fashionable and have fun!

It is useful to remember that elegance is in simplicity – so if you are wearing a bling chain, leave out the bracelet. Keep your outfit co-ordinated by choosing perhaps a colour or print as your theme. Abandon tradition and create your personal alternate style!

If you are wearing make-up, keep it as subdued as possible. Its purpose should be to highlight your natural beauty not make you look superficial.

There is no harm in being stylish as long as you don’t blindly follow fashion; as Yves Saint Laurent said: “Fashions fade, style is eternal.”
Keep stylin’, fashionistas!
