Aamna 101 | Episode 4 | Mahwish Zaidi | The dos and don'ts of hijabwear | Casual & Formal 

As a hijabi I wanna add my part too in the discussion, Just a little tip: Wear printed hijab with plain shirts ... And plain hijab with printed shirts .. Like Mahwish here is wearing plain scarf with a printed shirt. Find the fabric that suits you ... Like chiffon/Georgette suits me for plain hijabs & for printed I prefer cotton/linen.. For occasions: Hijab can lift the whole dress ... If I'm wearing simple dress, I always wear a glowy or a bit shimmery hijab ... (Cotton/polyester or Silk may be) If I'm wearing any embroidered dress I take simple hijab ... (Chiffon/Georgette) Colour & shade of hijab depends on your dress it's material+ material of hijab For caps: I only use beige, white & black ... And believe me these colours goes with every hijab ..

As a hijabi of many years, I would advice women to not match the color of their outfits to their hijabs. Go a shade or two lighter or darker than your outfit. It brings emphasis to your face. If there is print, pick a dominant color and wear that color hijab. Also know your skin tone. If you're warm toned, cooler colours don't always suit you. Some lighter colors can wash us out. Look out for those colors. Also, have a staple gold/champagne and silver hijabs, they go with a lot of formal events. Even if your outfit isn't too festive, a champagne colored hijab will elevate your look and make you party ready.

I'm a Hindu woman from India but just loved the whole episode especially Mahwish.I always enjoy her conversation with Amna.

I live in Canada and when I started doing the hijab, the best part for me was when I was greeted by fellow muslims in the mall with Assalam o Alaikum sister, who before my hijab wouldn’t know if I was Muslim or not. I would sometimes be asked if something is halal by strangers because of my hijab. Once a gora Canadian asked me if an ice cream he was buying for his Syrian neighbour’s had the right ingredients.

I don’t wear a hijab but I absolutely loved the episode and how both of you handled the topic so sensitively … there was respect to religion, personal choice but also telling people it is ok to want to look smart and feel good about yourself . The lack of judgement about peoples personal choice and preferences was so refreshing . Aamna well done for asking all the relevant questions and Mahwish to be so articulate and informative. Thank you so much both xx

She’s a positive soul… I love that she take hijab as her own decision and the way she loved it. I’m also a hijabi and I want to add if someone want to start doing hijab don’t spend too much initially on accessories gradually accessorise it will not put load on your pocket and you get to know better options… try different options

Thank you for this. I find it easier to wear Hijab in the UK than in Pakistan. The Pakistan society especially in the bigger cities is very judgemental.

I also started taking hijab 2 months ago but it took me 2 years to take a decision, the reason was that two years back when its was lockdown we were completely locked in our house, during that time I started noticing the behaviour of some extremist muslims around me and on internet, I spent most of the time on internet watching youtube all day and then a time came I just started hating muslims, I thought that this is what islam teaches, but then God made me open the Quran, I only read Arabic Quran before but when I open the Quran with urdu translation I got to know that this is not what our religion teaches and that was only culture not islam, I got more and more closer to Allah because Allah answered me everytime, if I have any Question I just opens the random page in the Quran and my answers are always there, there's even a verse which says: " Yeh kitab hamne tumhare lie hi toh utari hai " Cuz I was learning the Quran by myself I read the verse: "And put your headcoverings over your chest........" (Surah noor verse 31 ) Then I got to know that hijab is permanent and compulsory in islam just like namaz, but still it took me 2 years to take the decison After I started taking hijab I was treated and looked up as the odd one, even tho Pakistan is an islamic country but still people will say things about you, people called me hajjan, ustani jee and many more. The women who takes hijab in Pakistan are either those who are married or those who takes hijab from the beginning, but If you start taking hijab in your teenage suddenly, people will stare at you, at first it was hard but now I like my hijab and look pretty without exceeding the limits and maintaining the modesty, I started loving myself. When I was struggling whether to take the hijab or not even tho I got to know that this is compulsory, I read the verse: "Allah ki ayaton ka ku inkar karte ho, kia tum be khof hogaye ho?"

I m surprised...it is in their genes... They both look much younger than their age... Zabardast... Smart ladies both are

Dear Aamna I'm so delighted that you called about hijabis as "open minded" ..and" kuch log aise bhi hain jo bilkul dusri taraf ja chuke hain..!!" You are truly a genuine human being who never let down their traditions 😘😘 I love and respect you even more after listening this ❤️❤️ #Is there any possibility to visit India??

Jazakallah khair Aamna and Mahwish. It would be awesome if you can have a plus sized women to do the same segment because I feel it is much easier for skinny ladies to wear/style oversized clothing.

Hijab is not only covering u r hair but u r chest also. Hijab is a used for fashion now. Better using a decent dress with long dupatta which neatly covers u r body.

I love the overall presentation of this video. The dialogue is extremely mature ( of course you are two very mature and intelligent women) It is not condescending towards those who do not wear Hijab, yet it is somehow also encouraging to look into wearing Hijab. It also presents an over all positive impact about the whole thing especially for Indians to see because of the ongoing Hijab row. I am an Indian Muslim and my family consists of Hijabis, non Hijabis and even Niqabis and we happily co- exist.

The best part about this 101 was Mahwish's story how she became a hijabi......n Amna's bewilderment at finding out about a hijabi's accassories!!

I don’t wear a hijab but this was a wonderful episode. It is true that you owe it to the hijab to make it rock! Thank you ladies

Gosh, I just love mahwish. What a treat, she's so well spoken

This was such an insightful conversation! I’m not a hijabi, yet watched the video and actually had some really inspirational moments along with those styling tips. Mahwish is a good speaker and her personality really keeps the audience and listeners intact, just talking about how one can carry themselves gracefully is such a rich topic and you both did a great job having a thoughtful conversation on it. Just to add, this video had more of a podcast feel to it but as long as it’s fun talking and listening, it should keep going so keep it up 🙌🏻

That's a very good point about religious wear. Actually Islam says that you shouldn't appear before Allah as you wouldn't like to appear in front of people.

your cousin is so graceful,also you two have such good friendship Lov you too

I really enjoyed this episode. I am a hijabi too and I have two things to add to this. Living in America it’s very easy to stand out and look not so classy in a hijab but I think there are two ways to combat this. Firstly, layers makes hijab look very cool. Long coats or jackets go very nicely with it and gives it a modern look. Secondly, if there is a lot of print on your shirt or clothes overall it looks a bit too traditional. I have learnt that solids and pastels look very nice with hijab. Just pick one color as your outfit and maybe some hints of a second color and that’s it. It looks very modern and you can’t go wrong with it. Just my two scents. This is my personal style with hijab :) Very good idea for an episode. Keep it up !

For me hijab is my freedom.. If i feel more comfortable and feel beautiful in it than nones opinion matter..❤️

Hijab is a part of our beautiful religion ISLAM❤️ Please more vlogs on hijab/ dupatta wearing styles even abayas Elegant abayas especially in Middle East! Love them MashaaAllah hats off to you mahwish we are Muslims reading how our Propehts and their families lived!!!!! And you felt and started hijab which is part of our faith what Allah has told us to!

Asalamalikum aamna. I wanted to add that the biggest accessory a hijabi or for that matter anybody can have is SMILE. It looks very odd when hijab is are not smiling especially here in west bcoz many people assume about us if we are hijabi. I Really appreciate you for bringing this for us. I loved how a fashionista like you related to our problems.enjoyed the tips from Mehwish. Always enjoyed her on your show.

I want this kind of Pakistan. Where both hijabi and non hijabi women can sit together and talk about hijab for those who wear it. Learn to accept each other with or without hijab. Both are carrying our Pakistani culture and tradition so beautifully and one is hijabi. Thats how all Pakistanis should accept each other and not fight

I am hijabi.fortunately my sister lives in Capetown she buys abaya from there. I have many irani , turkey and Pakistani abaya. As a university teacher i wear simple but in dinner/ parties i have little bit fancy. In Karachi Qurtuba market is good place to buy abaya . I design for myself and many tailors in Karachi stitch abayas. Scraf and cap are easily available at melinium mall , Qurtuba and jama cloth market

I wear dupatta but i don't take scarf. I can't figure out what stops me. One day i just thought hard and could only understand that maybe all my role models are different, as i admire rockstars. I don't know how i would look without my emo flick. I have no motivation. But seeing this video is helping me a lot. You can show your personality in a lot of ways while staying modest.

Yea best episode hai. Annah hariri is one of my favorite designer. I think I have almost all her dresses. Meray favorite boho dresses hain because cotton material me hain. Yea bohat ghalat sooch hai ke aap ne sirf black or white dresses hi wear kerne hain hajj ya umrah per. Modest kapray hone chahiya. Hot weather hota hai Tu better hain lighter colors pehne.

I m one of those who have headache by the all covered caps ... so i have improvised it and use Head Bands

love Tabesh n his honesty but there isnt a dot of arrogance or impoliteleness, lovely, fun and informational , well done guys

Good informative vlog. She basically covered what needs to be covered for a Muslim woman- Covering of the bosom - as per a Quranic ayah for women Covering of head with a chador - another ayah from Quran Prohibition of Wearing of see thru clothes from ahadees Prohibition of tight-body hugging clothes, And covering up the hips according to authentic ahadees by our prophet pbuh The the actual purpose of these rules is to show modesty first, and also a projection of Muslim identity which gives a unique identity to Muslim women which sets them apart from non Muslim women. Plus the feeling of security and protection from strange men s eyes. I started late too but it did change the way I looked n felt - secure n protected.

A hijabi here! Thankyou for so much insight 🤩

There is some Charisma in Mehwish always love listening to her and really loved the episode and Amna always love you and love you even more for not giving advice yourself about hijab instead you brought someone who know about it 😍👍

Lovely episode amna and mahwish Im a hijabi and overweight as well!! Im so appreciative of people who wear a hijab but use it to express our essence, not just our religion!! Hijab keeps everyone around us within their limits while making the world for us limitless!! Thanks amna… Btw my 4 yr old always watches haute bites calls u “NamNam!!” And wanted to know where hssn was..

I love Mahvish, I think Amna you and her should conduct a series where you discuss different things, it will be really informative. Thank you for the video, thoroughly enjoyed it :)

Such a beautiful journey ..I appreciate that you are covering this chapter ..Being a hijabin myself, It feels liberating hearing this

thank you so much for the mind blowing episode for us (hijabians) it's simply awesome ,❤️❤️❤️❤️

Only 15 minutes into this but mashallah it’s a great episode so far. May Allah swt give us all taufeeq to understand and implement our deen, ameen 💜

Loved the episode :) and What a co incidence.. I also started wearing hijaab in the same month and year as Mahwish and her hijaab style is exactly as mine! I can also say that I feel more comfortable wearing hijab in Australia where I live compared to when I am back home In Pakistan, which is sad! I loved wearing Sarree Pre hijaab and can never see myself carry it with my hijaab, I guess other hijaabis also feel this way .

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode :) Do Watch if you are a Hijabi or Non Hijabi ! You never know what will.motivate or encourage one ?:) One should never be judgmental.about people.who wear or dont wear hijabs or of someone is not doing hijab properly ;) ... Allah niyaton k hal.jannay waala hai indeed.. For me ... as I have started wearing hijab later in my life .. THE thought changing ,life changing ideas were.. 1. Namaaz Dress Code ... why allah Swt have a dress code( of parda ) when one has to present in front of Allah swt who is the creator ... us say kya chupa hai phir bhi wo chahta hai covered ho k aye Bandi /banda 2. 2ND AND THE MOST SOUL STRIRRING THOUGHT OF was THE KAFFAN ! And how Na Mehram should not even watch a lady in kaffan when she is finally going to depart .. and to be present infront of Allah swt ... To bas Allah sab ko theek sahi rastay par rakhain .. and amaal.qubool.karen Koshish qubool karen :)

I absolutely love this episode, it was very informative for me as a hijabi, I got so much inspiration from Mahwish, she is very elegant lady, I use to find very difficult to wear mask with scarf but now problem has been solved ,Thank you so much Aamna for talking on this topic, really appreciate your efforts and your ideas

Even tho this video is a little longer and not so inclusive for say people doing hijab wear in Pakistan people doing hijab with duppatas etc butttt still I loved it gave me a new perspective over many cute little hijabi things I do hijab myself and I think I am going to own it more with pride and fun now❤️ Thankyou to you both

Easiest hijabs/ scarves are solid white, cream, beige, shades of blue/ green, grey, black, pinks, tans and few prints.💜

Enjoyed watching this episode, especially because im a hijabi. I don't agree on what you said about shoes, i think any shoes can be worn, i wear every type of footwear from sandles, slippers, boots, heels, trainers, ballerinas etc. I used to wear every colour hijab cap and all these different pin colours about a decade ago. Slowly i changed amd now i only wear black caps because my hair is dark anyway, i dont need a collection of different colours and as for pins on the side, i wear tiny little ones where the pin head is practically invisible. Also i love wearing pakistani clothes in summer with dupatta draped on my shoulder, of course we can wear hijab and dupatta, i occasionally wear my dupatta as a hijab too. Amna, it would be nice for you to do a fashion fortnightly on modest wear/hijabis. This was a discussion but want to see more styles and look books with someone wearing a hijab. You and tabish can style some models of different body shapes, have them in hijabs and give some tips, dos and donts, where they've gone wrong etc. Usually we see them all showing they're body. We need one episode for hijabis please

I live in the UAE and here no body bothers what u r wearing.... I feel dressing up here however you like is much easier than in Pakistan...

Thank you so much for inviting Mahwish!! Love how she talks!!♥️♥️♥️

Salam, the back and forth between aamna and mahwish is delightful. They have such an air of familial comfort between them. Must do a video on your fav foods.

Wow is the word. I wear hijab and abaya almost all my life. Transistion from chader to hijab to knowing how to to be able to look elegant... but failed. This conversation opened up like a new avenue of self discovery...

Thankyou Amna... really appreciate your efforts... jazakallah khair

Great points loved them!! Mahwash is very good with explaining and has good style❤️ As a hijaabi agreed with a lot. Thank god here in usa there is many online optoons now👍Just a point For comfortable wear jersey hijaabs are really good. In the usa we wear them casually you can just put on with no pins needed and are the most low maintenence - also can dress them up when needed👍👍

Masha'Allah thanks alot ❤️❤️Stunning Aamna 💕Amazing Mehwesh 👌👌

Absolutely loved this conversation, enjoyed it and learned so much! Very much was able to relate, very motivational and positive!! Thank you so much Amna for the sensitivity and the thought behind everything you put forward!

Brilliant episode - Aamna i really appreciate your efforts and your genuine comments on each and every topic you speak about. You always come up with unique and creative ideas. This video on how to style with hijab also bring motivation for people to wear hijaab more confidently and yet look flattery. Mahwish good to see you and wish you a prosperous life ahead. Shine on @Hiss- More power to ladies.

Was waiting anxiously fr the hijab episode.loved it

Thank you amna and mahvish very informative episode ❤️❤️

Do a 101 on shalvar kameez too, summer and winter. Majoring of women choose to wear shalvar kameez in Pakistan. Especially in summer. Make a guide on how to style it better especially in work place

As a hijabi, I loved this episode! ♥️♥️

Simply loved this!

Amazing conversation and insights. I am a hijabi from India, i agree to all that Mahwish mentioned about the responsibility a hijabi carries since there is a community that gets represented. I agree that carrying dupatta with a hijab is a bit difficult to style and i am still struggling to figure out a way to do that. Look forward to more such amazing content from you Amna. Great show. Congratulations.

OMG What a conversation!! MashAllah you both speak so gently!! I don't wear hijab but enjoyed the episode so much!! Mahwish mashAllah is so beautiful and hijab adds to her beauty!!

Such a beautiful show. Can't thank both of you enough for sharing these precious pieces of information ..

Thanks a lot for doing this Amna n Mahwish. I’m a hijabi and follow almost similar style but really enjoyed watching this

Very informative and delightful! 👍🏽

Amazing episode! Loved it!!

Loved the video... Only one point u missed about hair care of hijabi

This was much needed❤️

Love to watch and listen Mahvish and Amna together.

Assalamu Alaikum Jazak Allah to u both for this hijabwear session.

Two beautiful souls radiating positivity ❤️

Thanks amna and mehwish!

My journey of hijab started nearly the same time nearly the same way as that of Mahwish. I felt really happy getting related to her and listening she took time the same way as i did. But the time since i have started taking hijab people around me are getting used to of it and it has become a part of my life and i do style but overall the episode was really engaging and helpful.

Great talk.Good Job Aamna & Mahwish

Salam Amna & Mahwish! JazakAllah for such a nice video. It was such a delight watching and listening to you both. I really like the politeness and humbleness of Mahwish. She speaks so beautiful. 😍 Thank you so much for so much information and knowledge. Keep it up and lots of lv and duas for you 💖

SUBHAN ALLAH

Aamna! The best episode on hiss. Kudos to you and mahvish for presenting it so so well,lots of love from india usa

Thank You so much ❤️

Subscribed to Hiss only for you dear Aamna. Anything where you are there would definately wish to tune in. I really love you. All good wishes from Mumbai.

Thanks alot for this video!! ❤️❤️ Keep mahwish a constant part of your channel 😉 Also you can highlight some issues women face in this society and discuss under islamic teachings.

MashAllah Mahvish you are so organized with your scarves if I was half as organized., and I totally agree with you that wearing it amongst Pakistanis, or in Pakistan is much harder, you get looked down upon honestly thats how i felt. I also lived in Malaysia where women wear hijab and drive bikes and buses there is no issue, even in the US i worked with my hijab in the corporate world did not have any bad experiences. But i do agree its a physical struggle to wear it i hope people realize it and may Allah give reward to all ladies who try their best to wear hijab the best possible way... and lets keep judgements to ourselves whether you wear hijab or not..

Absolutely loved the entire episode. Being a women we do enjoy fashion. Can u make a video on what Western wear nd which brands for women in their mid 40's. We want to wear something which is not too short, meaning we want to fashion in decent way.
