The Jumpsuit

..or playsuit, depends where you live. Anyway, I was asked to do a post about wearing a jumpsuit (they're bang on trend) and hijab at the same time. At first I thought it would be a bit difficult considering they are usually quite tight around the legs but you can get suits that can be hijabified, as I did with some nifty editing tools on the above pic lol :D

Jumpsuit & Hijab NO's:

Those super tight jumpsuits you see -

Waist cinching!
Cropped jumpsuits, obviously:

How to wear it with hijab:
Go for long, loose suits with sleeves if you can find them. Here are some examples of jumpsuits that you can hijabify. I love these wide legs! -


For casual wear, these are great for the summer coupled with a thin, long cardi (for the white one):

For formal wear, love the gold one:

The two main arm 'coverers', suitable for jumpsuits are the jacket (blazer).. :

..and boyfit cardigans with flat gladiator sandals for a more casual look:

The most modest of jumpsuits are the ones that look like maxi dresses. They keep your curves well covered and keep you bang on trend too, perfect!

Here is a formal outfit I put together with one of these dress look-a-likes for a chic hijabi jumpsuit look:

Thank you very much for this article ^^

I will be keeping away from those waist clinching ones...I think I would prefer wearing one casually (with gladiator sandals as you mentioned and a cardigan) but I love the look you created for a formal occasion.

Great Ideas. Keep up the excellent work.
