Playing with Styles with Shirts: The Secret to an Anti-Boring Look!

A shirt is like a blank canvas for us to create. Whether you want a preppy, casual, or even a slightly edgy style, everything can be explored. The key is in choosing the shirt model and how we combine it with other items. Especially now that shirt styles are increasingly diverse, from simple ones to those with unique details. So, don’t let your shirt collection just pile up in your closet without ever being noticed again, okay!

1. Shirt + Vest: Sweet Preppy Style!For those of you who like the preppy school-girl style but in a more mature and fashionable version, try pairing a shirt with a vest. This is a really sweet look and very easy to replicate. Just imagine, a clean, plain white shirt paired with a classic earth-tone vest like beige or light brown. To complete the look, add an A-line skirt in a matching color. It’s so beautiful!

   SalwaSalon Tip: Choose a simple pashmina that matches your vest. Just drape one side over your shoulder, and you’re done! No need to be complicated, but the result is still stunning.

2. XXL Oversized Shirts: Comfortable and Still Cool!Yes, oversized shirts are very on-trend right now, and they are perfect for hijabers. Why? Because besides being comfortable to wear all day, the style also makes your look effortlessly stylish. The materials for oversized shirts are also varied, there’s cool cotton poplin, and there’s also linen that drapes beautifully. What’s even cooler is that many oversized shirt models have unique sleeve details, like balloon sleeves or ruffles. Just pair them with your favorite jeans or the trending culottes. For your hijab, choose the quickest option, like an inner pashmina. Practical!
3. Denim Shirt: Classic Never Dies!Who doesn’t have a denim shirt? This is an item that seems to always be in everyone’s closet. For everyday wear or for OOTDs when you’re traveling back home, a denim shirt is the champion. If you want a minimalist yet chic look, try wearing a one-set outfit of a linen shirt plus culottes. Neutral colors or pastel colors seem to suit linen shirts perfectly. To make it cooler, pair it with a geometric patterned square hijab that isn’t too busy.
4. Striped Shirt: Timeless & Versatile!Stripes are a pattern that never goes wrong. No matter when or with what item you wear it, it’s always safe. This striped shirt is perfect for those who like a simple look but don’t want to look monotonous. Try pairing your favorite striped shirt with a neutral-colored pleated skirt, like beige or gray. For your hijab, a simple jersey pashmina, like those worn by influencers, is more than enough. Easy, right?
5. Gathered Accent Shirt: Sweet and Elegant!Want a slightly different look that is still polite and fashionable? A shirt with gathered accents on the front can be an option. This shirt model is unique and can instantly make your look more elegant. It’s perfect for formal events like gatherings during Eid, or just for a casual coffee with friends. If you don’t like a too plain look, try playing with the colors of a patterned voal hijab that matches your shirt.
6. Long Oversized Shirts: Become a Modern Outerwear!Have a long oversized shirt that you rarely wear? Don’t be mistaken, this shirt can definitely be used as outerwear! This long shirt can make your look more stylish and layered. If you have a brightly colored shirt, don’t hesitate to pair it with plaid pants in a contrasting color. To avoid clashing, just wear a neutral-colored pashmina hijab, like a nude color. Perfect for relaxing on the second day of Eid!
7. Bright Neon Colors: Dare to Be Different!Still hesitant to wear a bright neon shirt? Don’t worry, you can definitely look stylish with this color. The key is in the right layering technique. Try wearing a neon shirt with puffy sleeve details, and underneath wear a black tank top or an organza sleeveless top. Pair it with a white skirt. Because your outfit already has quite a few details, for your hijab, choose something simple, like a hijab tied to the back of your neck and tucked into the shirt collar. But remember, wearing layers like this can sometimes make you feel hot. Make sure to choose a breathable hijab material, and don’t forget to keep your hair clean to avoid it getting limp and flaky!

   Important SalwaSalon Tip: Layering can indeed make you feel hot. Make sure you use the most breathable hijab material, like cotton or linen. And most importantly, don’t forget to wash your hair regularly with a good shampoo to maintain the health of your scalp and hair. Healthy hair is the key to a beautiful look from head to toe!

8. Cropped Shirts: Hijabers Can Too!Who says hijabers can’t wear cropped shirts? They absolutely can! As long as you’re smart about mix and match to keep it modest. It’s easy: wear your cropped shirt over a plain white t-shirt or a hijab undershirt. Then, pair it with high-waisted pants that have a baggy cut. This will make your body silhouette look more proportional. For your hijab, just use a simple instant square hijab, tied to the back of your neck. Simple, but the result is cool!

So? It’s not complicated to mix and match shirts to look modern, right? Come on, start trying one of the styles above tonight!
