Hand Dyed Silk Chiffon Hijabs

2013-05-03T09:38:00.002-07:00

INAYAH have just released a beautiful range of exclusive silk chiffon hijabs, hand dyed using a careful selection of stylish colour combinations. Available in four distinct colour palettes, these new hijabs work extremely well in complementing a range of looks, from everyday to occasional. Why not pair the Charcoal Silk Chiffon Hijab up with one of INAYAH's blacksignature abayas for workwear or opt for our Marble Silk Chiffon Hijab for a more casual, everyday look. Our Ripple Silk Chiffon Hijab is an absolute essential for your spring/summer wardrobe this year as the choice of colour combinations make the hijab extremely versatile, allowing you to pair the hijab up with almost any colour and any garment.

PLAIN HIJABS: Essentials!

2013-03-29T05:35:00.001-07:00

Climate changes may be prove problematic for fashion trends and for a woman's organised wardrobe, however, rain, snow or sunshine; INAYAH's wide selection of plain coloured hijabs in soft georgette and chiffon are sure to add the perfect touch of colour and convey your own unique style no matter what it's like outside.

The beauty of a plain coloured hijab in a soft tone such as our Ink Blue Soft Georgette Hijab is sometimes overlooked unfairly. Tonal shades vary depending upon the lighting and setting, and something plain and simple can suddenly take on a whole new dimension with minimal effort. Alternatively, a strong vibrant shade such as our Deep Red Soft Georgette Hijab makes the ideal accompaniment to a well defined black abaya such as our Black Glare Abaya. Using the same hijab but pairing it up with our Latte Abaya will instantly transform your outlook to one of spring and summer. Quick and easy; you've suddenly switched your outfit around quicker than changes in London weather!

The unquestionable characteristic of a plain coloured hijab is that it makes no compromises about what it is; a plain colour. Our plain hijabs act as a paint palette of modesty and allow you to become an artist in your own right. The objective: to modestly convey an aspect of your individual being. A word of caution; not all artists paint the perfect picture at this first attempt! Having a choice of colours is wonderful but they need to work according to the purpose you intend to use them for. So whilst tucking into our sweetshop of plain coloured hijabs, keep a mindful eye on how you're going to pair them up and think about how well each colour will work for you.

A plain introduction to your new hijab palette…happy shopping!

HIJABS: Trends

2013-03-14T02:47:00.000-07:00

2013 sees the presence of strong geometric, abstract and vibrant florals prints take centre stage set against complimentary colours in the fashion domain. INAYAH have introduced a broad range of plain hijabs as well as some striking printed hijabs in beautiful fabrics to rejuvenate your wardrobe.

Our Diamond Maze Hijab features a bold pattern of white, navy and rust orange angular shapes which work perfectly when set against a solid item of clothing such as our Latte Abaya. For something a little less solid but just as rich in colour, we recommend opting for our Four Seasons Hijab, which offers a wonderful mix of tones to match a wide range of abayas and dresses - as the name suggests - across all four seasons!

Next in line is our new Regal Ochre Hijab; the rich, golden ochre tone provides the perfect backdrop for the intricate print which oozes english heritage and commands its place with a lovely shade of blue. INAYAH suggests pairing this beautiful printed hijab with our unique and moest Salient Midi Dress for a casual but classy look.

We love florals at INAYAH and believe that floral hijabs are a must have in every wardrobe. Our limited edition Afternoon Tea Hijab and Scented Mist Hijab are both beautifully soft, elegant, and each work in their own way to transform an outfit with delicate subtlety. For a modest summer look, why not pair up our Afternoon Tea Hijab with our elegant Scarlet Braid Abaya or our Ruched Abaya. If you are looking for a printed hijab which is toned down but with a hint of colour; INAYAH recommends purchasing our Scented Mist Hijab and pairing it up with our Black Glare Abaya.

Finding abayas, jilbabs and modest dresses that do not attract unwanted attention, with a clean western twist, easy to slip on, comfortable to wear, classic AND modest can be extremely difficult. Wearing layers, batwing sleeves and metres of fabric is not always ideal for everyday wear, especially women constantly on the go with hectic routines. This season, INAYAH have released two sophisticated and timeless abayas/jilbabs that are an absolute essential in every wardrobe craving a solution. Whether it's college, work, an interview or a lunch date with the girls, our classic shirt abayas tailored using soft & cosy fabrics featuring delicate pleats will be perfect! We all love to lounge around in those long boyfriend style shirt dresses paired with trousers or leggings indoors - well, these abayas are a modest version of exactly those! Available in black georgette (Dusk Abaya) and stone linen (Latte Abaya), these everyday abayas will look great paired with one of our beautifully printed hijabs or a solid colour hijab for a casual look. Our unique shirt abayas are also perfect for mums who are nursing, owing to the drawstring waist and buttons. Not to mention, opting for one size up will help you further in concealing your shape or even during early stages of your pregnancy :) For other modest dresses, abayas and jilbabs suitable for maternity wear, please click here.

Modesty vs. Beauty

2011-12-30T09:50:00.000-08:00

Many Muslims & Non-Muslims alike share the same mistaken belief that Muslim women overlook (or should overlook) external beauty.

Some believe Muslim women are prevented from beautifying and adorning themselves by law and emotional enforcement. The appearance of a veiled woman purchasing skirts and dresses, or seeing a lady in a Hijab at the leisure centre often puzzles them.

Others believe it is something they do not feel the need to do as they are more or less fully covered in public for long periods of the day. Whilst women are not just objects for the world to stare at with lust and envy, there is no reason that women cannot beautify themselves. Underneath those modest garments they can still dress up in style wearing beautiful and fashionable clothes, amazing jewellery, make-up and gorgeous hairstyles; for their husband, family, friends…and of course, themselves.

Unfortunately there are many Muslim women who fall for the incorrect belief that beauty should be overlooked. We felt a strong need to write an article on this matter after stumbling across extreme opposites far too often.

The Battle…

The lady who devotes all her time, effort and money on beautification in the form of make-up, clothing & spa treatments, completely disregarding her spiritual development vs. the woman who seems to be so ‘spiritually devoted’ that she forgets about the importance of cleanliness, physical beauty and attraction; all of which form a very important part of our Deen.

Let’s not underestimate the importance of looking presentable & glamorous.

Undoubtedly there is nothing wrong with lounging around in super comfortable house clothes with your hair out of place looking untidy, so long as that doesn’t become the norm. Making an effort to look neat and presentable has its obvious benefits:

· You naturally feel better about yourself
· You feel refreshed
· Through building physical attraction you are able to maintain a beautiful relationship with your spouse. Some often make the mistake of glamorizing their outer appearance for the general public to see on a daily basis to then come home, remove their make-up and throw on some scruffy lounge clothes. If anyone deserves to see you at you best – it’s your husband! That’s not to say you should plaster yourself in make-up and tons of accessories. Wearing nice clothes, styling your hair a little, adding a tiny bit of eyeliner, warm blush, some fresh fragrance and a delicate necklace every now and then is just as good. It really boils down to personal preference.

In contrast to the above beliefs, there are Muslim women who maintain a wonderful balance; they are fashionable, love to shop, they’re interested in glamour, love to look their absolute best, and they beautify and pamper themselves. They are healthy, they eat good food, workout regularly and have an active lifestyle. In addition to this they are constantly striving to better themselves spiritually by seeking and implementing knowledge, holding on firmly to their Deen. They are active within their communities, play an important role in nurturing those around them and are constantly giving.

They key is…Balance.

Balance.

We must not get carried away with our external beauty so much so that we forget about our inner beauty and purification.

Know your limits.

Have self-respect, be mindful about how you dress and carry yourself in public. We must remain modest and humble, not attracting any unnecessary attention or degrade ourselves.

Remain vigilant.

So here’s something that you need to know about Inayah:

Inayah will be offering a full wardrobe for outdoor + indoor + occasional wear. In contrast to what people may think, it is not the items or garments themselves that are ‘inappropriate’, it is how, where and when they are worn. So for anyone who thinks we are here to promote women adorned top to bottom on the streets, that is certainly not the case.

Please read carefully.

Inayah offers uncompromised practical clothing to include, rather than exclude, wider audiences. We know that many companies isolate large numbers of women that are perhaps not prepared for the overnight leap into a total change to their dress code.

The best transitions are those done regularly with pure intentions.

Modesty.

Beauty.

Beautiful Modesty.

Modestly beautiful.

Modest Ocassional Wear

2011-12-21T02:36:00.000-08:00

We absolutely love the combination of historical, cultural and ethnic art. The use of rich colours, textures & prints never fails when producing designs, whether it be accessories or clothing.
Although many of you will have to wait for the UK S/S12 season to begin in order to view & purchase the new Inayah Collection clothing line, the combination of the three elements it consistently works with - vintage, ethnic & contemporary - will make the wait worth your while!

More importantly, we have just began a new occasional wear project which also combines these three elements - This means, the search for modest, elegant and sophisticated occasional wear will soon be over! We won't reveal too much in terms of the styles that will be on offer....!

Even better news - we will also be offering a bespoke service for our occasional wear, which will allow you to make changes to existing pieces or receive consultation in order to create your very own piece!
The difficult part - the waiting game! We are looking at a framework of 8-10 weeks before we can showcase any of our occasional wear - however, as before, the wait will without a doubt be worth your while!
