Hijab/abaya styles I want:

A'salaamu alaikum ya'll. It seems I'm always on the lookout for the perfect, no-fuss, comfy hijab with an awesome peak (the part that comes out over the forehead). I don't like the flat-to-the-head look on myself plus I just find it more practical.

Anyway I found these pics online; I think the majority of these are similar to Iranian hijab. I saw these (if I remember correctly) when the unrest in Bahrain was at its height. I really love how this one looks:

See how it cover the chin to the forehead? Me likey. :-)



I also like this overhead abaya style. I wouldn't be opposed to different colors such as a nice chocolately brown or muted eggplant but I think its usually easiest to get in black.

I like black, I think it looks elegant but somewhat formal and have just recently begun to experiment with different color combinations. I wore a brown abaya with a beige khimar the other day. It may not seem like alot to you guys but for me it was really going out on a limb. lol
Anyway I like these styles; I think the overhead abayaat being sold in France (an Algerian or North African overhead) is going to be the closest I can get to these. I've been given a few sources in France for abayaat and insha'Allah I'll be able to get a least a couple of new abayaat and maybe start a new love affair. :-)

This is the N. African overhead which is probably the closest I can get; the forehead part is a little different but insha'Allah will be good.

ma salaama...
