Egyptian Hijab Ideas-20 Best Ways to Wear Egyptian Style Hijab

Difference between Hijab and Jilbab

The modern hijab is not to be confused with Jilbab, as they are different. Hijab refers to the material that covers the wearer’s head, shoulders, and sometimes chest. While Jilbab, on the other hand, is an outer garment that is worn over the clothes. It’s long, fits loosely, and covers the wearer’s whole body. It’s also called jubbah or jilbabah and is similar to an abaya, chador or burqa.

Things You Will Need to Don a Hijab

Here are the supplies you should keep at hand:

• Your hijab, of course.
• A hijab cap. In most cases, it helps anchor the hijab in place, so it doesn’t shift often.
• Pins. These may be optional for some people, but they’re generally a good idea.
• Decorative brooch/pins/ornaments, etc. These are also optional.

↓ 20 – Ethereal White Hijab

This is one of the three-four traditional Egyptian hijab styles we found on Instagram. Women, bloggers, or no, all seem to wear their scarves in the simplest way imaginable. You need to have a hijab cap because hijabs generally tend to be made from a shifty, silky material. Then it’s just a matter of wrapping the headscarf around your head once. You can take both ends of the hijab and face them forward or only take one like the model does here. Quite straightforward, no? Your next read can be: Indonesian Hijab Styles

It’s often hard to know which hijab style will best suit the shape of your face, but you don’t have to worry about that with these styles. These types of hijabs will surely suit the shape of most faces and will not let you down. Women in Egypt wear western clothing as well but with a modest outlook. They pair their hijabs with shirts, t-shirts, pants, dresses, etc. Their general technique of hijab-wearing works marvelously with any kind of outfit. This is an excellent chiffon scarf that has a minimalist pattern. Your white hijab will mix and match with whatever color you choose to wear.

↓ 18 – Light Peach Head Scarf for Summer

This is another hijab worn in the same way as the two above. Like, we said, this seems to be the standard scarf-wearing method for Egyptian women. Here, the model is not wearing a hijab cap. If you’re confident your hijab will stay in place and won’t slide embarrassingly often, you can go without one too. She’s contrasting her hijab with what appears to be a black abaya, which is another great idea.

↓ 17 – Cool Printed Vines

You can wear your scarf in a way that it hides most or all of your cap, or you can wear it like this, where a good portion of the cap is showing. This intentional cap-showing is favored by many hijabi women; it’s a style trend, sure and certain. Again, this style does not require the use of pins, but if you like, you can make everything firmly stay in place by adding one pin on each side. The print, of course, is stunning as well.

In case, we missed out on Egyptian hijab styles for the most necessary look – that is the street style look, then here is an example of what you should be looking for.

Geometric patterns are attractive to most people. It’s the uniformity and neatness of the design that draws the eye. You can channel this neatness for your outdoor activities and excursions. These wide geometric hijabs draw the eyes instantly, not because they’re ostentatious, but the opposite. Two-toned scarves like these are also a good choice to wear when you have an abaya or a dress that you usually wear to go outside.

We ask you again, who says hijabs can’t be fun or appropriate for formal occasions like parties? The concern with most women on the latter subject is that it might ‘kill’ the beauty of their dress or makeup or jewelry. We’re here to say that that is not the case, no sir! Not only can you match your hijabs with the color of your dress, obviously, but you can also choose a material that goes with the vibe. Crinkle fabric, silk scarf, hijab with sequins or beads, or pearls, there are a dozen different ways to make a hijab part-appropriate. The makeup will, of course, show easily, but you can wear jewelry as well.

This was the second most common way hijabs are worn by Egyptian women.

A full-length chador or dupatta, as it is also called, is a great thing to wear as a hijab as well. It gives excellent coverage at the front and back. There is also a healthy opportunity to display the prints and designs on the fabric to the fullest, and who doesn’t want to show off?

↓ 7 – Color-blocking Scarf for Office Wear

An outfit for a boss lady! This is some serious color-blocking inspiration for you to absorb. Color-blocking works by choosing two or more colors that look garish with each other and don’t blend well together. Canary yellow and navy blue are two such colors. The top, pants, heels, and hijab are all color-blocked splendidly. This is a bold but still formal look for your professional engagements, such as interviews or business meetings. The printed chiffon scarf brings class to the whole outfit.

↓ 6 – Exquisitely Printed Wide Head Scarf

A big piece with a geometric design that’s been folded on top of the head and pinned on the side, in what is the most common way a hijab is worn. The material looks robust and a bit heavier than chiffon. The material of the scarf and the way it has been pinned in the picture are both good for coverage.

↓ 5 – Floral Chiffon Hijab

This is the kind of scarf you can wear over your most worn-out and boring clothes but still manage to look fabulous. It’s fashionable and cute, and we love how the pinks and blues and purples are mixing! The way the model is wearing is an outstanding way to wear a hijab like this. The coverage is good, and the print is on display in all of its floral glory.

↓ 4 – Knot Style Mustard Scarf

This is a second variation on the knot style of hijab-wearing that we discussed earlier. You need a much smaller scarf for this. As you can see, there isn’t much length left on either side after tying the knot at the nape of the neck. The mustard on the navy combo is an unusual choice, though. We recommend wearing this type of hijab with flowing skirts and cute blouses.
