I’m loving the summer trends right now because a lot of the
fashion is hijabi friendly! You can easily find long maxi dresses, skirts,
kimonos, cardigans and loose-fit
clothing at stores like H&M, Zara, Forever 21, Banana Republic etc. But, my
favorite thus far this summer has to be the wide leg pant. I cannot tell you
how much I love this trend. This item is so nice because it’s light, airy and so modest!
I
stocked up on a lot of wide leg pant styles last year while I was pregnant. I
couldn’t wear them while I was pregnant (for obvious reasons), but I intended
to save them for the following summer—I’m so glad I did! It also seems that
this year, the wide leg pant is back with even better quality styles and so
much variety. I have some that are patterned and some are that are plain,
and you can style a lot of the solid colored pairs to occasions like I did in this photo—(Disclaimer: This is my failed attempt at ‘modeling’). Photocred @JessicaKobeissi :)
I was super comfortable in this outfit as I wore it to a relative’s wedding. I bought the
pants from Forever 21, the waistcoat/vest from Banana Republic and the bow tie
blouse from Forever 21 a few years ago. The color orange may not be your first choice when
considering a wide-leg pant purchase, but if you choose to tone it down with
other colors that aren’t so bright, or rather neutral, you can pull off a
conservative, classy look.
You can really re create this look with a variety of
colors, for instance, if maybe you had burgundy pair of wide leg pants, and a black/cream waistcoat. Or, you can even use a black bow tie blouse instead. There are
plenty of ways you can wear this outfit using different color tones.
What’s great about the wide leg pant is that you can style
it sort of the way you would a skirt. For example, if loose enough to where the
pants don’t shape your body, you may not need to find long shirts to go with
it. You would be able to tuck in your blouse/shirt (whatever works), which
allows for a lot more options when shopping! Not to mention that a lot of the
wide leg pants that are out are breezy and light, which is so nice for us
hijabis in the summer.
I always convince myself to buy hijabi friendly styles
before they are no longer on trend (it’s also my way of justifying reasons to shop). I cannot tell you how many items of clothing my mom used to own that are
trending now but have disappeared in past years. I still bug her about throwing
them out.
