Bangles

Bangles are a great choice if you want to make a difference in your outfit. Their chunky look ensures that they stand out against your hijab style and modest attire. If you fancy incorporating colours into your look, bangles are a good way to go as they can often be found in many bright colors.

Bracelets are also great to spruce up your look. A gemstone or pearl bracelet will add instant sophistication and elegance to your outfit. For more casual style beaded bracelets and silver bangles can be fun and funky if you’re looking for ethnic look for your hijab style and modest clothing.

Tips on Wearing Bangles

Bangles look best on slim wrists. There should be plenty of space between the bangle and wrist as bangles are meant to dangle and hang loosely. For fleshy wrist, bracelets are a better option.

Pearl bangles look great on dark outfit such as your little black dress abaya or jilbab.

Bangle with a band of gold or silver or one containing encrusted diamante is suitable for formal attire.

Make sure to find bracelet that fits your wrist comfortably. Bangle that is too large will look sloppy and may even slide off. Too small can constrict your wrist movement.

Tips on Wearing Bracelets

Try wearing three bracelets on one wrist - it’s a symbol of power. They don't have to match either, so don’t be afraid to step out and do something different.
