1 The Cover up: Use a long thin jersey or light coat to cover up. This covers all the bits, but still looks edgy and cool.
2 Let your scarf bits hang: I usually play with my scarf and change the lengths of the two ends to give my outfit more of an accessorised look.
3 The turban: A turban is a great accessory while still keeping the look modern and cool. I change the heights of my turban to create different looks.
4 Turtlenecks: This is an easy way to cover up the arms and neck area especially when doing the turban style or opting for a loosely tied scarf.
5 Layering: When dressing modestly, this is the easiest way to make Western garments hijab-friendly. I like to wear jeans or leggings under dresses, but I choose dresses that have sleeves and turtlenecks so the outfit looks trendy and youthful. I would throw on a loosely twisted scarf so that there is some depth to the look and perhaps a leather or denim jacket depending on the weather and time of day.
