5 Types of Modest Clothing

5 Types of Modest Clothing

Life is all about variety and making better choices. As it's rightly said, the choices we make do make us. And at Ababeel we have taken this saying a notch further as we believe in spoiling our customers with choices and variety. 

We at Ababeel understand that being modest is being unique, being you no matter what the world says. We know you are adamant about your beliefs and you would trade your modesty for nothing. As such respecting your choices is our obligation and making you aware of the variety from which you can choose is our duty.

So, here we present some variety in hijab that you may find interesting.

  1. Hijab: The most common type of veil used in the Muslim world is without any doubt a hijab. Well, hijab means a cloth that covers your head, and chest and is generally long
  2. Khimar: A piece of cloth generally used to cover your head. Well, this khimar is not exclusive to the Muslim world only as many women in Europe use khimar to cover their hair. khimar does not cover your chest or shoulders, it is just a head scarf. But with the advancement in time this khimar has been modified and can now be extended to cover the shoulders and chest.
  3. NaqabNiqab and hijab are often considered synonyms but there is a clear distinction between the two. The niqab is a veil that covers the face but leaves the eye area uncovered. An eye veil may accompany it. Usually, it is worn with a headscarf. On the contrary, the hijab does not cover the face. 
  4. BurqaA long garment that covers women from head to toe and covers their eyes with a thin transparent cloth is called the burqa. This is a complete form of parda that is practiced in most parts of Afghanistan and Central Asia.
  5. Chaddar: A long piece of cloth that can be worn by women to cover their head and body, not essentially a full view chaddar is still used in many Islamic countries as a form of hijab.

So, Hence these were some of the varieties we Muslim women have when it comes to our modest clothing. And at ababeel, we try to incorporate each variety in our outlets and we make sure that the quality is premium and designs are extraordinary so that you may look a diva even with modesty on .
