If you\u2019re starting your first job soon or even just heading to an interview, congratulations! While it\u2019s quite common knowledge on what the Western concept of formal attire is, it may be somewhat perplexing to figure out what a modest Muslimah version of this attire looks like. In this piece, we\u2019ll give you several ideas for appropriate Muslimah formal attire that you can wear to the office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the traditional three-piece women\u2019s suit is an option even for hijabis, don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t want something so figure-hugging. Opt for a <\/span>Muslimah-friendly pantsuit<\/span><\/a> with a loose cut and long top so that your curves remain hidden, and still stay formal and fashionable. Pair with <\/span>heels<\/span><\/a> for the best look, but <\/span>flats<\/span><\/a> are on option too if you want to be comfortable. For suits in brighter colours, use a <\/span>hijab<\/span><\/a> that is neutral-coloured to achieve a more formal, balanced look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you prefer to wear a <\/span>skirt<\/span><\/a>, then wearing a <\/span>long-sleeve white blouse<\/span><\/a> with a coloured skirt can be the Muslimah formal attire of your choice. A white blouse tucked into a black, grey, or <\/span>brown skirt<\/span><\/a> is a classic combo, but for a more modern touch, consider navy shades too. A black long-sleeve blouse can be combined with an ankle-length light-coloured skirt and a matching light-coloured hijab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For an elegant vibe or to attend formal dinners, an <\/span>ankle-length dress<\/span><\/a> paired with a <\/span>blazer<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>jacket<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>cardigan<\/span><\/a> serves as a great Muslimah formal attire. A monotone dress with an embellished front adds a bit of pizazz to the outfit, and adding big accessories like a large <\/span>necklace<\/span><\/a>, shiny bag, and a tall pair of heels effortlessly turns the outfit into something that\u2019s more smart-casual instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
