TIPS FOR A COOL SUMMER UNDER YOUR HIJAB

Summer is the ideal season to warm the mind and soften the body, to relax and recharge the batteries. For hijabis, being more covered up can be a problem. Through this post we will share our best tips on how to enjoy the sun and summer weather in modesty.

From the choice of material to the choice of colour, in fact, there are tricks that will allow you to feel light while respecting your values and principles. In this article, we’ll answer your questions about modest summer fashion.

Which material to choose?

The choice of material is essential to avoid the inconveniences we have all experienced, such as redness or heat spots on the neck or the discomfort of a damp sensation.

But don’t panic! To avoid all this, some materials should be preferred, especially natural ones. Cotton, linen and silk are comfortable, stylish and breathable. A breathable material is one that lets the heat from your body escape to the outside.
They therefore have the advantage of reducing your perspiration.

– Cotton: easy to iron and absorbent, it will be your best ally for a casual look.

– Linen: thanks to its insulating and absorbent properties, it will allow you to feel cool and avoid the feeling of discomfort. It is still a must-have for summer.

– Silk: with its silky and shiny look, it will add a chic touch to all your day and evening outfits and allow you to feel elegant and light.

In general, opt for the lightest possible materials for clothing and veiling. Choose soft and light fabrics fabrics to ensure optimal comfort during the summer season.

Colour matters more than you might think. “But a colour doesn’t change my comfort…”. On the contrary, some shades of colour can be more warming.

Should you dress light when it’s hot?

It is indeed a reflex to bring out light-coloured clothes, but why?

Fabrics absorb more or less heat depending on their colour.
This is because it is a matter of reflectivity. Light colours reflect light, dark colours absorb it. Researchers have even discovered that when it’s 38°C outside, the temperature of a white dress is 41°C, whereas a black dress is 47°C! This means that you will be warmer in a dark garment than in a light one.
Our second piece of advice is therefore to prefer neutral or pastel colours. Indeed, the latest trends are soft and acidic colours such as beige, cream and nude. So you can be fashionable and still wear light-coloured clothes!

What cut of clothing should we hijabis wear in summer?

The cut is as important as the colour. You know that light colours are advisable in hot weather, but then why do Bedouins in the desert wear black dresses?

This is because the Tuareg wear very loose clothing, thanks to which a current of air is constantly passing through the wearer and keeps him or her cool. This is why the cut is important in your choice.

Choose loose-fitting clothes for an airy, casual look. For this summer period, we prefer light clothes with an elegant look.
As you can imagine, in the high temperatures, body-hugging outfits are to be avoided. This will make you feel less compressed and fresher, because air can pass through, your skin can breathe and perspiration can escape more easily.
One of the main problems we hijabis face is the heat caused by layering clothes. Obviously, as temperatures rise, we want to continue to look good and stylish while remaining modest.
To avoid layering clothes. Choose opaque clothing, long enough outfits and with linings. This will allow you to avoid as much as possible long-sleeved tops, leggings and other items that are so useful in winter.

Which hairstyle to choose?

Finally, it’s best to wear your hair in braids, as this avoids having a huge mass of hair on your neck. It will make you cooler and allow your neck to breathe a little!

Summary

To sum up, here are our main tips for this summer:
– Choose natural materials
– Avoid dark colours
– Wear loose-fitting clothes
– Avoid layering clothes
– Braid your hair
 
Of course, the heat is an added difficulty, but each of us is predisposed to resist.
