All About Modest Islamic Clothing

By Tammie Caldwell


People wrongly assume that Islamic clothing for women is nothing but a big piece of black cloth that they wrap around themselves very loosely. It is a fact that being a Muslim, your clothes are influenced by your religious values but at the same time there are other circumstances that could influence your choice in this regards. When it comes to the availability of choice, you will be amazed to see so much variety with regards to modest Islamic clothing.

The whole criteria is to wear anything that appears to be decent and modest. It should not reveal your body figure and must not be too tight. At the same time the studies suggest that very loosely fitted garment that drops on the floor is also not advisable. The modest clothing rule applies on both women as well as men.

You may add your own personal style to your provided but keep in mind the criteria of modesty, otherwise there is nothing wrong in being conscious about your personal appearance. Your culture and tradition also influence your dressing style to a great extent and they should not be ignored.

For example, if you live in Middle East you will see that men and women both dress in a certain way. Women prefer wearing jilbabs or abayas and mostly their are black in color. On the other hand, men mostly wear a maxi which is long and usually white in color, its called a 'thawb'. Whereas, when you visit Asian countries their way of dressing is totally different.

For instance, Pakistan which is a heavily populated Muslim country has its own traditional dress which is Shalwar Kameez. Both women and men wear loosely fitted shirts called 'kameez' along with a loose pant known as 'shalwar'. Apart from that, women take a long scarf on top of that, you may see some women wearing abayas but it isn't very common.

There is good amount of Muslim population living in the western world as well and they wear western dresses but in a modest way. Women would wear loose shirts along with loose pants and a scarf. Men are also expected to wear garments that don't fit them too tightly and at the same time they should look decent in appearance nothing too shabby.

No matter in which part of the world you are living, if you are a Muslim your clothes should reflect Islamic values and beliefs. Always wear clothes that appear decent and do not reveal any part of your body. You can look attractive and smart even if you wear loose fitted garments. Its all about the way you carry them. Apart from being loose, also make sure the material is not see through and doesn't reveal any of your private parts.

There are many online stores that sell such clothing so you could easily make your purchases over the internet. Buying online not only saves you the hassle but also saves a lot of time and mostly they are available at very affordable prices so you don't have to worry about your budget at all.
