Rayyan's Twenteeith Outfit

Here's Rayyan Hamoudi in her usual at home, no hijab attire. Note the hijab-hair!

I think this outfit is pretty dreadful, red-purple hijab with a navy shirt and brown doesn't make sense. Al-Farah used to make long navy shirt but they are now out of stock so you can try this shorter navy shirt from Liz Claiborne. She wore the long brown coat in Episode 15 but I beat most muhajabat have a brown and black coat and there are other options like khaki or olive, white or denim too! Try Shukr's outerwear section or Modern muslimah's tesettur options.

Here are some great shirts from Shukr that do go with a reddish, plummish, purplesh hijab:

Shukr's Sundial Wrap Top in Cherry for US $48.95 is now only available is size 2XL but there are other colors available in the other sizes and wrap shirts are very Rayyanni, see outfits nine and 11.

Shukr's Jersey Dress Top in Cherry for USD $44.95 is really pretty and well matched with the Lace Contrast Skirt in Buterrcream/ Red Plum for USD $48.95 shown here. We don't get to see what is worn with Rayyan's unmatching navy shirt and I think this gorgeous a-line shape off-white with plum goes wonderfully with any of the hijab options I selected.

If you like a pale purple to go with the red & mauve hijab try this:

Shukr's Piped Lace Blouse for USD $54.95, the slight contrast detailing around the middle and on the sleeves makes a reference to the belt trend, without revealing your shape.

Or for a darker purple that is still pale:

Shukr's Samarkand Tunic is Grape Shake for USD $59.95 features a cute tie accross the middle without cinching in, perfect if you like the belt trend but don't want to show your curves. The embroidery at the wrist and up the arm is sort of a one-toned take on the detailing on khaliji abayas.

Here's some other great purple/plum skirt options:

Wow this bold is a bold eye-popping skirt but if you love purple I really recommend you try Shukr's Jersey Tie Front Skirt in Grape for USD $54.95

This skirt is really flowy and long, perfect for those that love the 2 piece equivalent to an abaya look Shurkr's 24-Gore Godet Skirt in Hibiscus for $54.95

Rayyan's Sixteenth Outfit - Abaya Substitutes

I chosen three abaya/jilbab options which emphasise different parts of Rayyan's look:

If you like the teal shirt, try this cord abaya:

Shukr's Corduroy Princess Dress in Forest Green for USD $54.95


If you'd love an abaya in the dark denim of Rayyan's skirt, check out this abaya:

Simply Islam's Leisure Jilbab: Fine Denim CA03 Black for $61.16


Or if what you love is the teal-black contrast, this abaya is a gorgeous look and includes a great party hijab:

The Canadian Muslim's Elegant Navy/Cyan Embroidered Georgette Open Abaya w/ Scarf for USD $79.99

Rayyan's Sixteenth Outfit

OMG Rayyan without a hijab! An interesting thing about Zarqa Nawaz being stuck with having to choose primarily non-Muslim characters to play Mercy's Muslims, as there were no appropriate Muslim actors available, is that they have no objection to being filmed without hijab as Muslima muhajabat would have. For example, Rayyan's mother Sarah never wears hijab outside the masjid (and then only a sheer scarf), Rayyan is shown mostly with hijab but without at home and Fatima is shown always wearing hijab except when they she first goes to a 'Women's Aqua Fit Class'.

The look that Rayyan is sporting here is hijab ready, like she has come home from work and taken off her scarf:

Al-Farah's Cotton Spandex Blouse in Forest Green for USD $24.99


Shukr's Braided Belt Denim Skirt for £28.95 or from Shukr USA for USD $48.95


Rayyan is a shayla girl but seeing I have free range at selecting a scarf option, I would pair this outfit with a dramatic tesettur scarf like this:

Hijab Planet's Peri Silk Hijab for USD $55.95

or a cheaper and simpler shayla:

Hijab Boutique's Teal Shayla for £4.79
