I love the 80s.
The only problem is that i was born during that decade so the only gratification I can get from that era would be from old pictures.
It also doesnt help that my mum hates to hoard old stuff, she throws things away ( or donates them) on a regular basis, so that means i cant ransack her wardrobe for cool finds like i know some girls do.
Nevertheless, the beauty of fashion is such that the cycle doesnt end there.
I love how the mod dress looks. The only problem is if you're slightly curvy, it can tend to hug your curves and make it more prominent. Definitely not hijab-friendly.
A few ways to wear it and still hold your hijab high.
Style 1.
When a particular piece of clothing clings too close for comfort, always pair it with something loose to break the outline. Here, ive paired it with the trusty cardigan. It would be great if your dress doesnt hug your bum, and if thats the case, a cropped cardigan worn loosely or even a long-sleeved tee worn underneath would do, but if it does, stick to a long one that comes to the knees.
The wide-legged jeans comes in handy here as it balances out the silhouette. Skinny jeans might work without the hijab, but with it, the effect might be too severe. Think modest and you'd do fine.
Style 2.
If you are looking for something more classy, the mod dress can work just as well. Pair it with a blazer, here I opted for white with a touch of gold.
Straight cut pants, gold slingbacks, accessories to match and you're all set to glam up that event.
Style 3.
Another alternative to the biker chic rage, military chic also made popular with the demise of Michael Jackson. I just love how the buttons on military-inspired pieces seem to tell their own story. In order not to take the spotlight away from the perfectly polished buttons, I've opted for loose flowy pants. Pair it with a pair of gladiators, a leather bag and march on.
(Excuse the pun.) :)
