Summer 2024 is here and it comes with harsh and hot weather that does not make you want to get out of the house. But those women who need to go around for their work and yet maintain their hijabs need to have a cool way out. Most of the hijab styles that we have on the internet utilize layers of cloth, which makes it difficult to maintain in the summer.
This is why we have compiled a list of 10 Hijab styles that you can easily carry in Summer without worrying about breaking a sweat.
Maintaining a Balance Between Modernity and Modesty
Before we begin with the different styles of Hijab, we must focus on how Muslim women must maintain a balance between modernity and modesty. Modernity is a challenge for Muslim women all around the world. They need to compete in society and yet maintain their modesty around everybody else. A hijab is one such way to do so.
It was narrated from Abu Bakrah that the Messenger of Allah (ï·º)said:
“Modesty is part of faith, and faith will be in Paradise.
[Sunan Ibn Majah 4184]
Different Styles of Hijab for Summer
You can use different materials and even add accessories to make your Hijab stand out. Let’s see how you can style your hijab this summer:
1. The Hijab Turban
If you are looking for a chic way to wear your hijab this summer, you need to look out for the turban style. In this style, you wrap the hijab around the head as you normally would. However, the two loose ends are then tucked inside the scarf, leaving a clean and elegant look. For this style, you can use cotton, linen, or any other lightweight material.
2. The Criss Cross Hijab
A crisscross style of Hijab is recently becoming really popular in fashion these days. You must have seen some influencers carrying this look. The crisscross style gives a modern look to your hijab styling. To begin with this look, you need to place the Hijab on your head and then leave one end of the scarf longer than the other.
Next, you need to wrap the longer end around your head and then use pins to secure it at the back of your head. Make sure that the longer end stays in front of the shorter end when you wrap it around your head. You can perfectly make a crisscross-style hijab with viscose, jersey or any other cool fabric.
3. Side Pinning the Hijab
This is one of the simplest ways to style your hijab this summer. It starts off in a similar way to the crisscross-style hijab. You need to leave one end of the scarf longer than the other. After this, you need to take the longer end, wrap it around your neck, and pin it on one side. This allows your hijab to flow gracefully over your shoulder.

5. Layering the Hijab
If you are someone who loves to see different textures and dimensions in their Hijab style then this is perfect for you.
