STYLE THOUGHT:OF HIJAB & LEGGINGS...OR IS IT PANTYHOSE?

I know leggings are in trend now but ladies, hijab & leggings just don't go together unless it is worn as an inner piece. It is so....contradicting!

Here, you are well covered at the top, so demure and sweet and modest, and then suddenly, when people look down they see every single curve (or fat and cellulite) of your legs because you're wearing a pair of leggings or even worse a panty hose, so sheer it's see through! I think some people may have just confused themselves between leggings and panty hose.

That is just so...inappropriate. Today on the way to an appointment, I spotted a lady looking so nice in gray but then her leggings just spoil the whole look.

Sometimes the top you're wearing is too short and the leggings you're wearing are too tight that they're showing the camel's toe, the shape of your well...private part and the jingle and jingling of your untoned butt. At times, the legs are too skinny. So leggings are really just not suitable for hijabi unless like I said earlier, if you wear them as an inner piece to cover your legs in case you fall down when you're wearing skirts.

Put that look together with a hijab it's just so awful. Hijab means to be covered & modest. Leggings do not perform that function or communicate modesty. Even if you're not a hijabi, a pair of leggings not worn appropriately will look too obscene. You have to be slender to wear one but can't be too thin either.

When you wear leggings with your hijab, it's like you're saying:

'I'm covered up here, but you can feast your eyes down there' or

'I haven't fully decided to be a hijabi' or

'Look at me, I'm sexy!'

A man told me once, 'Leggings with hijab is like 'teasing' us to look and fantasize further,' hhmm...that's something to think about.

Leggings can be worn:

to sleep

as inner piece

with pajamas

when doing home aerobics or exercise

So, leggings with hijab, that's out. Leggings for the activities I mentioned above, that's fine. Leggings in the picture below does not depict style, it depicts fashion disaster!

So, people, communicate appropriately, remember we're a BRAND and our first and foremost communication is that we're a MUSLIM, so carry that with style and modesty. No leggings with hijab!
