Believe it or not, it’s all about how you pin your hijab to keep everything in place. No matter how pretty your hijab is, if it is not pinned properly, chances are that everything is going to look eventually fall apart as the day proceeds, and look clumsy. So, load up on hijab pins and broaches.
Own one of each color

Whether you want to match your hijab with your outfit or go with contrasting colors, it always helps to have a variety of colors in your wardrobe. It doesn’t matter whether you like floral patterns or solids, get a variety of colors so you’ll always have something that matches.
Start with a cap

If you fix your scarf over a stylish cap, it reduces the chance of it falling apart by a lot. Stock up on caps.

6. Don’t lose the essence
The essence of hijab is modesty, so make sure the rest of your outfit covers your body properly. Wearing a hijab with an immodest outfit just looks a little (read: a lot) awkward.
Accessorize

Accessories can take your outfit to the next level. Wear stylish long boots, heels, statement necklaces, and bangle bracelets that go with your hijab to achieve that perfect look.
8. Express yourself through your style
