Iranian Esarp

I regularly watch the wonderful show Mosaic by Link TV which organises Middle Eastern produced news into a week day half hour current events show in English. This image is of a beautiful muhajabat on al-Alam TV who is wearing an esarp (satin scarf) that repsonds beautifully under the stage lights.

This scarf is quite different but equally beautiful in my opinion, here is a set similar to that the news anchor is wearing. I hope the sisters who wear abaya are enjoying my abaya sets, I myself rarely wear abaya however they are beautiful garments and I support all my sisters wishing to please their Creator (swt).

Tichels - Evening Aubergine

Gold & Purple Night by celeritas
This look features a scarf from Savvy Sheitals a shop that mainly sells sheitals - wigs used by married Orthodox Jewish women to cover their hair rather than wearing a cloth cover. They are based in the USA and also have a great range of tichels which Muslim women can use for hijab.

This look shows two beautiful evening looks picking up the colours from the shiny aubergine shimmer scarf The shoes are fabulous, I'd love to wear them to a wedding party.

Here's the final kreuzberger girlies 1 look, this time a magenta and purple eşarp with a purple dress over white wide trousers. Again there isn't an exact scarf to the one pictured so I have done three options with three differnt purple scarves. The first look is a dress over a white trouser, shorter shirt over white tee and white skirt and a more modest bolero over a maxi dress. I've picked up colours form the eşarp in the footwear and handbags. I personally love the maxi dress look, so pretty and classy.

 

Rayyan's Twenty First Outfit - Hijab

In this look Rayyan wears a pale blue and off-green almost beige striped shayla over an olive underscarf. I really like how the off-green sections match the beige shirt without being matchy matchy. Here are my hijab options:

Its fun to pair a bright eşarp with a black outfit but I'm not such a fan of this one. I have made three looks with black as the primary outfit color with an abaya, silk trench or sari option. As walking or dancing around in heels can be tough and the picture is of flats I went for them for these looks. Two of the eşarp featured here are shayla which some may find easier to style and provide more coverage. Most eşarp are square but there seems to be a rise in the production of shayla as these become more acceptable in Turkey. Shayla are perceived as more Islamic than squares as they are how Arab women wear headscarves rather than the Euro-Turkish tradition of ladies wearing square scarves tied under the chin especially those who are older and live in the villages.

Glamorous Gold

What could be more beautiful than a gold silk scarf, pair it with white, pale gold, beige and gold accessories. This would be a great formal look but as you can see from the picture at the rally, Turkish women dress up this beautifully to go anywhere!

The white trench and trousers on the right could be worn with any other colored eşarp, that's what I love so much about tesettür, its so versatile. Find the clothes that suit you, buy heaps of hijabs and go out each day with the scarf as the feature.
