InshaAllah, I do intend to be wearing my niqab full-time when I return to Canada. I'll try. I believe it is mustahaab (recommended) so I'll do my best. But of course, I've wondered on what I'll do to wear mine differently. Colours of course. Pins of course. Neats ways of styling the shayla as khimar + the niqab. Decorated niqabs----???? Such as the like that are sold at this website
http://www.bestabaya.com/abayas/niqab.html perhaps... but only for super special occasions (like my non-muslim family weddings or galas).
These are certainly unqiue but... they all come in sheer. Which is not niqab to me. So I'd have to wear a half-niqab underneath of them for them to be niqab at all. Which might be a tad uncomfortable.
What do you think?
Do you like the idea (if not the exectution of it) of individual style on the niqab, or do you think this might be a bit too exotic/overdone or tacky?
This simple ribbon one is pretty though to me.
Russian Empress anyone?

Its a good idea though. You could totally do these yourself too and save lots of money.
Have fun!
i hate fur. gross.
besides that ugly fur one, the rest are gorgeous - especially the red and gold one. would look great against your white skin.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone wear decorations on their niqabs. I say go for it; you seem like you have a good eye to tell when things are tacky or not.
I think its too much with the fur and beads and stuff, and defeats the purpose of why many say they wear niqab. And with the added makeup and very arched eyebrows it always seems that the niqab models are trying to make niqab sexy.
I haven't looked at the site yet, only the photos you've got here. I'm gonna look, though, cuz they are interesting. I don't know if I'd wear any of these styles here. They are pretty but they remind me of what a belly dancer might wear or something. You know what I mean? Thanks for the link!
I think anyone who wears niqaab in US or Canada has a lot of courage. You've mentioned going to Canada before -- will you be living there at some point in the future or do you mean for visits?
I like a few of these, some of them are kind of pretty and would be lovely for special events. I think I would wear the last one- though only outside during the winter... And even then I'd be cracking jokes about it the entire time. :p Shame about them being see-through though. Any way to just sew a second layer onto it?
Great find though!
Cheers.
i don't really think i could pull that niqab look in saudi arabia without getting a lot of raised eyebrows.. but maybe in canada it can be done =)
personally i think it attracts more attention,,so i don't think i'd do it here or anywhere else
but i like the ones you posted here--except the fur ones. i hate fur. all but the second and last ones are gorgeous! (:
I like them but I wouldn't wear the tacky ones in public. Fur? Oh no not fur. Poor animals :(
