Brown work outfit

I love this refined look for work or a formal event, again it makes the scarf the key feature while being very sleek and stylish. It is up to you whether you would prefer to wear a coat rather than the jacket but I personally feel this conceals your form well. I've found a great cordorouy set from Taiba Outfitters which has a great price for a work outfit that is hijab appropriate. I've included the ususal options of scarves along with a raw silk shayla which better matches the color of the scarf in the photo.

Shiny tesettür underscarves

This is such a beautiful silk headscarf, eşarp from Ugoza but the focus in this post is the pretty underscarf. Most Turkish hijab are silk so presumably the shiny underscarf is also silk, here are what I could find for sale on the internet:



Simply Islam Bone Hair Cap in Silk Saten for US$5.16 are available in a range of colors.

Hijab and satin underscarf for sale on eBay for £7.49, Insh'allah the sister will continue to sell these sets in her eBay store Hijab Elegance

There are also satin underscarves for sale by themselves in purple or green for £2.50.

Alternatively you could sew a piece of satin on to an underscarf you already own (you could turn it around if you wanted the un-satin piece to show), use a satin scarf as an underlayer to another scarf (although this could be slippery) or use an elastic satin headband.
