It is not hard to find an elegant hijab wrap that is also comfortable to wear. You can use some simple methods for the same scarf to pull off different looks for work or casual appointments, or special events. A versatile nude hijab is a great piece to have in your wardrobe as it can easily be paired with different outfit colours.
Fabric matters, too. Viscose provides a light and airy look, while chiffon gives a soft draped appearance. If you're new to hijab styles but want to learn how to make a few, here are five practical hijab styles you can recreate at home.
5 Hijab Styles to Try
Classic Everyday Wrap
It is a simple wrap that is suitable for daily use, like at work, shopping, or even in school. Viscose would be a good choice for good drape.
Place the scarf over your head, leaving one side longer. Put the front around your face and fix it under your chin with an appropriate pin or magnet. Wrap the longer end of it over your other shoulder and over your neck. Fold over for a neat finish.
Loose Shoulder Drape
A loose, flowing outfit works best when done with chiffon.
Place the scarf with one end longer and tie it under your chin. Cross the longer end over your chest and over the other shoulder. Don't press the fabric out; make it loose. You can also use a discreet magnet to hold the drape in place.
This style is ideal for abayas, long dresses, or event dresses.
Neat Tucked Wrap
For a more finished appearance, the tucked wrap controls loose ends.
Place the scarf around the head and tie it under your chin. Fold the longer side over your neck once and tuck it under the rolled-up cloth at your shoulder. Make adjustments to the folds so they lie properly around the neck,
Chiffon will give elegance to this style, while viscose will contribute to a soft look. When choosing high-quality hijabs, consider the texture, style and drape of the material.
Double Wrap
Double wrap makes the neck look thicker and will complement layering.
Use one end longer than the other. Wrap the longer scarf around the neck, then tie underneath the chin, and bring the wrap towards the front. Fold the excess under the adjacent fabric to create a tidied-up end.
For soft layers, you can use viscose. In the case of the chiffon, an undercap and a weave that is out of sight will aid in holding.
Soft, Voluminous Drape
A meaningful addition of volume around the crown makes for an elegant finish on a wedding, dinner, or celebration.
If you wish to get even more grip, wrap the scarf over the undercap. Place under chin and above head, gently fold and wrap around crown and shoulder. Secure the shape together with an appropriate pin or magnet; avoid stretching out the fabric.
