Elegant Hijab Styles

Apart from being just a religious symbol the hijab is also a statement of modesty and grace. With the evolution of fashion with modesty, hijab styling has become an art form that allows women to express their individuality and fashion statements while also adhering to their religious beliefs.

Whether you’re new to wearing a hijab or are looking to refresh your style, we bring you 6 elegant hijab styling ideas to inspire you and are commonly practiced around the globe.

With each style, we recommend tying your hair with a voluminous scrunchie or a hair tie that securely holds your hair and provides the perfect volume to carry the hijab, as compared to an ordinary hair tie.

1. The Classic Wrap

Start with a rectangular hijab and drape it over your head, ensuring one side is longer than the other and secure it under your chin with the help of magnetic pins that allow a secure and chic fit. Take the longer side and wrap it around your head, ensuring it covers your neck. Pin it in place and adjust the folds to create volume. This timeless and classic style serves the perfect look for everyday wear and can be accessorized with statement earrings or a brooch for added flair.

2. The Turban Twist

For a chic and contemporary look, opt for a turban-style hijab. Begin by folding a square hijab into a triangle and place it over your head, ensuring the point of the triangle falls at the center of your forehead. Take the two ends of the hijab and tie them into a knot at the nape of your neck. Tuck any loose ends under the turban to create a seamless finish. This beautifully versatile style is ideal for both, casual outings and formal events.

3. Side-Swept Elegance

Achieve an effortlessly glamorous look with a side-swept hijab style. Place a rectangular hijab over your head, ensuring one side is longer than the other. Pin the longer side under your chin, leaving the shorter side loose. Take the longer side and drape it over your opposite shoulder, allowing it to fall gracefully across your chest. Secure it in place with a decorative pin or brooch for added sophistication.

4. Layered Luxe

Elevate your hijab game with a layered styling technique. Begin by wearing an under cap to provide a smooth base for your hijab. Choose two contrasting hijabs of different textures or colors. Place the first hijab over your head, ensuring it covers your neck and chest. Then, layer the second hijab on top, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Play with different draping techniques to create depth and dimension. This elegant style is perfect for special occasions or evening events.

5. Bow-Tied Beauty

Add a playful touch to your hijab style with a bow-tied accent. Begin by draping a rectangular hijab over your head, ensuring one side is longer than the other. Pin the longer side under your chin and fold the shorter side into pleats. Gather the pleated section and tie it into a bow near your ear, adjusting the size to your preference. This charming style is perfect for daytime events or casual outings.

6. Waterfall Drapes

Create an ethereal look with cascading waterfall drapes. Start with a rectangular hijab and place it over your head, ensuring one side is longer than the other. Pin the longer side under your chin and let the shorter side hang loose. Take the longer side and twist it around your head, allowing it to fall in gentle folds.
