Yemeni Hijab Style

The next country I've explored the hijab style of is Yemen. Bordering both Saudi and Oman, I guessed the style would be a cross between the two countries and it kind of is:

Brightly coloured hijab, so pretty :D

Like in Saudi, a lot of women in Yemen wear the niqab, I think this version is nicer than black though:
Yemenis seem to have a hat fetish:

I love this next one, the hijab and hat combo is so graceful, especially with that bright pink scarf:

I love this pic :] I don't really know why tbh, I think it's the jeans

Cute hijabs, I love the purple one but I think I would set my chin free a bit more if I was wearing it lol:

Yemeni soldiers training to counter terrorists, you go girlies!

Check out their hijabified army outfits, so much nicer than the butch ones they make in other countries lol:

Jewish Yemenis, in some colourful outfits and half hijabified, loving the beads:

I'm so in love with this black Yemeni hena, have to get it done!

More around the world hijab style coming soon, Isha'Allah!

Closed Toe Sandals (i.e. slingbacks)

I thought these would a good summer idea for hijabies that cover their feet. Although I think it's OK to wear sandals normally, these shoes would look far better than the socks and sandals look, ick.

So if you don't like open toe sandals go for flat slingbacks in the summer instead and even if you must wear socks or tights with them, it'll still look better than this:

Outfit Ideas

I love this outfit, but I would give that waist cincher a miss and replace it with a oversized, black handbag :D

The Perfect Combination For A Formal Look

If you're stuck on what to wear for a formal event dig out that long black skirt from your wardrobe (every hijabis staple piece) and couple it with the following for a chic and classy look: a glittery/metallic cardigan, a clutch, some killer heels (for all women's events, if not stick to smaller heels with a rubber tip or a pair of statement flats) and a glossy Turkish hijab for a smart finish. Your outfit should end up looking similar to this:

This style works great with a jewel coloured satin blouse too:

If your not a separates girl, this look works with a metallic jilbab and the rest of the style formula just as well:

If you don't have anywhere to wear this look then book a meal especially lol :D

"Blue And Green Should Never Be Seen..."

..I hate silly colour rules like that and the 'brown and blue' rule. I happen to think brown and blue can look wonderful together, like here:
Here my version:

Nude Top

Nude Top - by Zaenab

I looked for a nice brown batwing top but I couldn't find one, oh well nude is big this spring :D Another thing that's on trend is mixing and matching bright and beautiful colours so forget boring same-shade outfits and add a splash of colour! If you're not so keen on standing out of the crowd with bold brights, carefully chosen colour pop accessories will do the job just as well :]

If you're getting married and want a modern style wedding dress that is also hijab appropriate I would highly recommend you visit this site and insha'Allah you'll find the perfect dress :D Here are some of my favorites:

I love this one, it has a Moroccan feel to it and isn't too over the top and what's more, it's yours for 612 euros, bargain! (was 765 euros):

This one comes with a cute and convenient jacket for those who don't want a long sleeved dress. It used to be 865 euros but is now just 692 :D

This next one is sooooo pretty! It's has some really elegant detailing and at 592 euros from 740, it's not a bad deal either!
