When you wear your traditional Muslim clothing, you want to make sure that you adhere to the strict religious guidelines that are in place. This doesn’t mean that you have to go through your life wearing just black! You can wear a variety of colors that do not seem eccentric. The following are the top 3 ways that you can enhance your existing traditional Islamic clothing, without looking like a walking rainbow.
- Beads. Beads can be a great way to accessorize your traditional clothing. With traditional clothing, you may feel as though you are limited when it comes to your style. This is not the case. You can stitch on many beads to your clothing to make it look fashionable and great without breaking the bank. If you prefer black or traditional colored clothing, then you can still embellish it with beads to look classy, without taking away from your total look. Beads can be threaded onto a piece of string and sewn onto the sides of a Burkah, or they can even be dangled from the side of a headscarf. There are so many possibilities. Whether you want metallic beads, or more durable wooden beads, you will be able to purchase them in many styles, colors, and shapes. Although round beads are the most common, other types can be used.
- Stitching. Stitching is also a fantastic way to enhance Muslim clothing. Thread comes in every color imaginable, and it is cheap to buy. For just a few dollars and a little bit of time, you could be really creative in stitching fashionable designs onto your robe, headwear, dresses, or any other piece of clothing that you intend to wear. Even simple lines of stitching in a color that complements the color of your clothing can look absolutely amazing. The stitching can be as simple or as intricate as you want to be.
- Layering or Blending Color. While the weather isn’t always cool enough to layer, layering is a great way to blend multiple colors, so that your outfit can look unique and fashionable. While traditional Islamic men clothing is limited as far as having numerous colors go, more modern Islamic fashion trends are hitting the shelves in stores around the world all of the time. It’s ok to go bold and original with multiple colors in an array of patterns and designs.
