Rayyan's Twentieth Outfit - Hijab

Here Rayyan Hamoudi is wearing a pale red chiffon shayla with mauve paisley and a silver stickpin. This isn't my favourite scarf from a fashion perspective, I don't think the mauve and red really goes and especially not with a navy shirt underneath.

Scarf World's Jacquard Shawl (Red & Purple Paisley) for £11.99
I really love this shayla, the purple and red actually go, not like Rayyan's scarf. It looks alot like a pashmina but its actually polyester so its very light.

Scarf World's Sheer Silk Scarf (Red & Mauve Pasisley Stripes) for £14.99
Mauve and red with a metallic shimmer work well in this scarf as its more graduated than Rayyan's mauve paisley on red. This silk would feel lovely on your skin.

Scarf World's Ruffle Chiffon Neck Scarf (Berry) for £14.99
This neck scarf isn't wide enough to be a hijab at 11 inches but the colorway of apricot, dark purple and red are so nice so its worth matching it with an al-amira.

Star Scarves Crimson Red/Burgundy Al-Amira Hijab (2pcs) for USD $9.99
This is a nice understated red al-amira if you prefer to not go for brights but like the color.

Its not a stickpin but its quite cute, you could use the white or maybe even the pink hijab pin with the second scarf.

Rayyan's Seventeenth Outfit - Hijab


Rayyan certainly likes cut velvet floral scarves, this one is blackish navy with blue flowers and green leaves.

A little bird told me, aka alixianna that my hijab posts are great so I've gone nuts!

This is a skinny scarf so you need a navy al-amira underneath Scarf World's Skinny Velvet Scarf (Blue Roses) for £15.99 It's the closest scarf to Rayyan's as its cut velvet in the same colors.

Still pretty skinny so stick with that al-amira Scarf World's Sheer Neck Scarf (Blue & Black Floral) for £2.95 This is similar in the patterns and colors but isn't velvet.

Scarf World's Long Sheer Shawl (Black & Blue Poppies) for £9.99 This scarf doesn't have any green but the turquoise actually matches her shirt better

Scarf World's Sheer Silk Shawl (Blue Flowers) for £9.99 Can you say pop! I really love this scarf, its quite different because it doesn't have any black but if you are going for the blue look try this great scarf.

Here's the al-amira you need, its nice and long so you don't have to be scared of the skinny scarf slipping off: Hijab Girl's Necessity One-Piece Al-Amira Hijab in Navy Blue for USD $5.25

Rayyan's Fourteenth Outfit - Hijab


Here are some options:
This scarf is the best match Scarf World's Skinny Velvet Scarf with Red Roses for £15.99 but is only 5.1"/13cm so is not suitable on its own as hijab. I suggest you wear it over a black al-amira

Here's some other options which also need you to put on your black al-amira first

Scarf World's Sheer Neck Scarf (Black Floral) for £2.95

Something quite different here Scarf World's Crochet Rose Scarf (Black) for £5.99
