Winter brings around so much energy with all its beauty and the wonderful feeling of warmth once you get tucked in thick sweaters and jackets. This year, while changing your wardrobe for winter, use this energy in a positive way and bring out your creative inner diva. After all, there’s more to winter fashion than just wearing the right coat to keep warm!
Re-Match Existing Outfits
At the start of any season, it’s easy to look at your wardrobe and declare you have nothing to wear this year. Yet, your closet is likely full of items you can wear – the truth is that you simply don’t want to wear the same outfits over and over again.
Instead, why not try something different with your existing clothes, as well as your hijabs? By recombining these items you can create a fresh, new look for the winter. In fact, with a little time – try preparing your clothes the day before, not in a frantic hurry in the morning – you can easily think about your options. Trying swapping out colours to create new winter looks, supported by your underscarves and hijabs.
A printed hijab, for example, works well with under-hijabs featuring a striped design or pattern. This isn’t something many people would intuitively put together, but the finished result looks incredible and it only requires a simple change!
Custom Hijab Pins
If you want a little extra touch that can be used with various hijabs, you can also quickly create custom pins that suit your aesthetic tastes. All you need to do is take regular bobby or safety pins, gluing on some buttons and pearls for extra style. This way you can add some lighter colours and tones to any hijab, for that extra little hint of winter.
A Touch Of Paint
If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, paints are a simple way to transform existing clothing into something new and fantastic. Fabric paints are easy to get hold of, often for free, and can be easily applied to various items. Why not try painting your old hijabs, to give them a great new look?
You don’t need to be artistically talented, either. A little creativity can go a long way. When it comes to Winter themes, cool colours and pastel shades are a great way to go. When it comes to making a design, take inspiration from the frost-covered trees, or even a falling snowflake. Against a darker silk hijab, this pattern will turn an unloved item into a perfect accessory for the colder months!
Winter Accessories
When in doubt, a few accessories can make all the difference. There are many online guides for DIY accessories, with flower pins being a popular favourite. With just some old cloth (or even an old hijab) you can create various leaf and flower shapes. Take some inspiration from nature and sew these together to create an interesting composition.
As an extra little touch, you can attach a button to the middle of a flower, before gluing it to the pin. These can be used as a brooch for your hijab. To make them truly seasonal, take some inspiration from winter flowers, such as the various hues of pansies. Whether its pale blues, pastel pinks or, of course, a soft white, these gentle tones add the perfect winter feel.
With these inspirational ideas, you can readily create a new wardrobe from your existing clothes. This allows you to adapt your style to the changing season, while also following a modest fashion sense. Furthermore, by reusing your existing outfits, you can develop a strong ethical sense of style, too.
This winter, there’s no need to panic and buy an entire new collection of hijabs when everything you need is already at your fingertips. As the cold months begin to set in, you can easily adapt by adding some layered headscarves, puffer jackets or maxi coats. Of course, the choice is up to you – what’s important is that you stay creative!
