Hijab Colour Combinations with a Dress: Styling Ideas

Styling a hijab with a dress is one of the easiest ways to look put-together with minimal effort. The key is the colour combination. Here are three easy looks and how to match your hijab to a dress.

How to match a hijab with a dress

Start with the dress, then choose a hijab that either tones with it (for a calm, elegant look) or gently contrasts (for a bit of interest). Neutral hijabs — black, beige, grey, soft pink — are the easiest to match with almost anything.

Three easy hijab-and-dress looks

All-black: soft crepe hijab and black abaya

You cannot go wrong with all black. Pair a soft crepe hijab with a black open-front abaya for day or evening. Keep equal lengths on both sides, pin under the chin, and throw one end over the shoulder.

Occasion: satin hijab and lace-hem kimono

For something dressier, pair a soft satin hijab with a black lace-hem kimono over a slip dress.

Everyday neutral: soft crepe hijab and grey slip dress

A soft pink or neutral crepe hijab with a grey slip dress is comfortable yet put-together — wear it with trainers or flats by day, or heels to dress it up.
