How to dress in autumn as a hijabi: tips and inspirations

With the arrival of fall, the cool days and warm colors of nature invite you to revisit your wardrobe for more comfort without compromising on style. For a hijabi, the seasonal transition can be the perfect opportunity to play with textures, layers and seasonal shades. Here are some tips for putting together stylish and appropriate fall outfits.

1. Focus on soft and enveloping materials

In the fall, there's nothing better than wearing clothes that provide warmth and softness. Knitwear is often a great choice: a lightweight knit sweater can serve as a base, while allowing you to layer a cape or cardigan for extra warmth.

For those who prefer dresses (admittedly, it's a look in itself!), a corduroy dress also adds texture and pairs well with your favorite long coat.

2. Master the art of layering

Fall days can be unpredictable in terms of temperature, which makes layering even more important. A good tip is to start with a basic piece, like a thin top or sweater, and add layers on top that can be removed or added as the weather changes. Cardigans with a tie or belt at the waist are great for adding structure while still maintaining modest coverage. In addition to providing warmth, this technique allows for a variety of looks to be put together without too much hassle.

3. Play with seasonal colors

Fall is also the perfect time to incorporate warm, earthy colors into your outfits. Burgundy, brown, beige, and taupe are fall hues that pair well with each other. For example, a beige cape or a taupe-colored viscose hijab will make a great pair. It may seem counterintuitive, but a thin hijab like viscose is ideal for fall because it adds a touch of lightness and avoids the heavy effect often associated with layering, while remaining elegant and comfortable. Just wear an under-hijab underneath, simple as that!

4. Use accessories for style and comfort

Accessories can transform a simple outfit by adding personality. Beanies or berets can be worn with the hijab for a trendy look, and a jacket with practical pockets adds a touch of both aesthetic and functionality. For those who like a more chic touch, a belt worn over a cardigan or maxi dress can structure the ensemble and add elegance.

These tips can be easily adapted to pieces you already have or a few new finds for the season. By playing with layers, fabrics and accessories, you can create fall looks that combine comfort, style and modesty. Whether you opt for soft textures, warm colours or accessories that add character, fall is the perfect time to explore and personalise your style.
