Dressing In Modest Islamic Clothing

By Frances Stewart


When it comes to the mode of dressing, Muslims are very strict. Everybody ranging from the children to the adults is required to appear decently in public. It is also sinful for a man to look at a woman suggestively when it is not their wife. The different rules governing dressing especially for a woman may be difficult to follow in these current times. The designers have seen a need to add value into the more traditional Muslim attires by making them fashionable. So how do you maintain the modest Islamic clothing and still be comfortable?

Putting on clothing that is according to the Islam religions shows that you are subordinate to Allah. The Muslim females are required to dress apparels that run from the shoulders to the toes without being so tight. In these current times, it is very possible to meet a woman who does not put clothes covering her whole body. Men have not been left behind as it is easier to see those wearing shorts.

The clothing women are allowed to wear is a long robe that is made of a thick material that runs from head to toe. With time this has changed and the robes are now decorated with certain patterns and designs that are flowery and playful. This has allowed the women to dress decently and respectful and also look vibrant.

Women are not allowed to have their hairs seen by any other person. There should be covered most times and only the husband and the family members can have a glimpse of their hair. In Islam, the hair of a woman is considered to be very holy and not to be seen by any other person. The piece of clothing that they use to wrap their head with is known as hijab and they are usually black in color and very plain. The hijabs have been made to appear more modern by having different patterns woven around it and they come in different colors.

Jubbas are the robes that the men wear which are also loosely fitting and very long. For men, the hair can be exposed unlike for the women. The men only wear the jubbas during events that the Muslim calendar allocates. They are able to have this custom made for them by a tailor or just buy it ready made.

Men can dress in clothing that they feel comfortable in as long as it is desirable to the people around and Allah. You can put on a suit or decide to go for the casual wears. In all instances they are required to be smart.

The modified types of the Muslim apparels can be found in various online shops. The dressing should be able to meet the set standards of the Islam code of dressing but still look stylish.

Dressing is a very critical aspect when it comes to Islam. Everyone is required to maintain the proper dressing codes. Due to this reason, several designers are in the market to meet the demand and make their clients look fashionable. When selecting the designer clothes, it is advisable to ensure that they are modest and within the Muslim guidelines.
