Dressing In Modest Islamic Clothing

By Mark Schmidt


In the Islamic religion, dressing is a very crucial part of the religion. The faith expects that the followers dress in a modest manner. Men are prohibited from gazing at a woman that they have no relationship ties. Women are expected to protect their beauty by wearing clothes that are decent. These rules and regulations have made it hard for the modern Islamic community to choose what to wear. However, with these modern times, designers have paid more attention to the religion and in the development of modest Islamic clothing. Here are some of the ways that you can dress to remain modern and still meet the expectations of the religion:

The main aim for dressing decently is to pay respect to Allah. Previously, both men and women were expected to wear long and loose clothes that cover their entire body. However, with the changing times the men and women have ventured into modern dressing codes. Women have been seen to wear less concealing clothes while men wear shorts.

Women usually wear long robes which cover up the entire body. They are usually made from high quality cotton that makes them translucent. There has been an attempt to change this dressing code to incorporate the latest fashions. The robes are now been designed using jewels, embroidery and even patterns. This ensures that the Muslims enjoy their clothing and still obey the religion dressing rules.

A woman hair is taken to be pure and therefore should be hidden at all times and only be seen by the husband and close family members. This therefore makes them wear clothing known as hijab to cover their heads. They have been in the past been black and plain. However, recent designers are now making hijab of different colors such as white brown and bream. They are also detailed with patterns and jewels. This prevents boredom and makes it easier for the women to cover their hair and feel fashionable.

With men, their dressing is simple as they are not expected to hide their hair or even hide their entire body. They can wear either loose or average outfits. Men usually wear robes known as Jubbas. They are usually worn on special occasions and even when going to mosques. The robes can be custom made with patterns and colors of choice included.

During normal days, men are free to wear all types of clothing as they are not limited like women. They can wear suits and any type of clothing provided they remain descent and smart. This is to honor their creator and their Muslim society. They can now be able to have clothes custom made, feel elegant and still be respected as a Muslim member.

There is different type of Islamic clothing in the market. However, when choosing the right fit, it is important that you consider the different styles from different regions. The online market allows you to shop for Islamic clothing from all over the world which gives you limitless designs. Secondly, you can choose to have your own designer that will develop any type of clothing you need.

The Islam faith is very strict when it comes to dressing. The designers now aim at designing modest outfits that are accepted by the religion. You can purchase the outfits locally or online but make sure that you purchase the clothes that are not only acceptable but also fashionable.
