Start out with a print you love

When you’re picking out an instant hijab for the first time, you want to feel good about what you’re wearing. Printed hijabs are a great way to express your personal style and unique flair. Find something that you will feel beautiful in. Wearing a chiffon hijab might make you feel self-conscious or that you stand out, especially if you live in an area where wearing a hijab is uncommon. Because wearing a hijab goes against contemporary beauty standards in many ways, adopting the veil can be an emotional experience.

Make sure you have wardrobe essentials

When you start wearing a hijab with a cap, you’ll want to have some clothing essentials to match it with. Lots of hijabis like to buy simple, classic pieces that aren’t overly complex. Choose wardrobe essentials based on your style. For days when you want a preppy, clean look, make sure you have a pair of nice white slacks. When you want something urban and casual, reach for your oversized blue jeans. Buy clothes that are classic and match well with your array of scarves. When it comes to wardrobe essentials, you want balance. If you find yourself normally wearing ready to wear hijabs with busy and complex patterns, you might want to avoid heavily patterned clothing. If you go for a solid color hijab, then spice up your outfit with patterned tops or bottoms. For a deep dive into modesty styling, check out our modesty styling guide.

Choose the right hijab for you

You’ll feel good about wearing a new hijab if you find a style and print that flatters you. There are a few things you should consider when shopping for designer hijabs. Find a hijab that matches your face shape. If you have a long, rectangular face shape, you might want to go for a hijab with an under scarf cap that hides part of the forehead. If you’ve got large cheeks, you may want to go for a look that doesn’t accentuate them. You could also consider pairing your hijab with a hijab inner cap for added comfort and style.

  

Staying strong in your decision

Adopting a hijab is no easy decision – it’s a process that has its ups and downs. Especially if you are a newcomer to hijab, adopting it late in life, you’ll likely second-guess yourself. Just understand that adjustments take time, and a little perseverance goes a long way.

Maybe you can start small – if you’re not used to wearing a hijab, maybe you can start off wearing it just at home until you get comfortable with it. Try to start small, and improve every day. You might also explore Bokitta hijabs for an easy and comfortable option.

You’ll find it helpful to find a support network. Make friends with like-minded ladies, hijabi or not, who can encourage you as you grow. They might also recommend you to check out cheap hijabs or various hijab brands available through online shopping in Pakistan.

Remember – your journey with modesty and a hijab is yours and nobody else’s. Allah sees your heart, your good intentions, and that is what matters most.
