The Girl I’m Looking To Be 🩷

(None of these pictures are mine. I found them on Pinterest)

I’ve always been an alt girl at heart. I’ve been a self rediscovering type of journey for a little while now. I’ve come to realize that my heart lies with the alt glam kind of world. It shows in my style & in my makeup.

When I became Muslim I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to express myself through my clothing like i always have. Turns out that’s not true at all. Theres a way to make my style hijabi friendly! I had to hunt for inspiration because i wasn’t sure how it would look in real life. But I’ve found it! So this year I’m going to put more effort into showing my style via clothing. 🖤 Thoughts?

For many Muslim women, the challenge of maintaining personal style while adhering to modest dress can be daunting. However, with the rise of hijabi fashion influencers, inspirational looks are more accessible than ever. Styles that blend traditional modesty with edgy, alternative vibes can easily be curated. Online platforms, social media, and Pinterest serve as havens for finding fusion styles that resonate with modern, diverse audiences. Incorporating elements typical of alt fashion—like oversized jackets, graphic tees, and edgy accessories—with modesty can create truly unique outfits.

Engaging with the community through forums and sharing personal experiences helps build confidence. It's a way to showcase that vibrant, alternative wardrobes can coexist with modest attire, allowing women to feel fashionable and true to themselves. Whether through layering techniques or choosing the right accessories, modesty does not have to hinder creativity. In conclusion, merging alt glam with hijabi fashion is not only possible but can also lead to an enriching personal style that reflects one’s identity and beliefs.
