We are in awe of how they beat social standards effortlessly and are now creating examples for others. They flaunt their Hijab proudly, making them stand out amongst the rest.

↓ 9. Nazirah Ashari
Nazirah, also known as Nazz, is a feminist, traveler and a woman who loves accomplishing it all. She is based out of Malaysia and makes sure that her style matches the weather there. The images from her trip to Turkey left me amazed, and I was compelled to want to visit the country myself. Her captions come straight from the heart, and there is always so much that she expresses through them. On her Instagram, she often jokes about her double chin, calling it her triple chin.
This is her portraying her 80’s self for a series, and we are blown away by her sense of style. The turban wrap, funky shirt, and the wide-legged jeans are all stealing the show here. Following Nazz and reading more into her life, here is what we learned. The beautiful woman takes every chance to travel around but does not forget to count her blessings in life. For someone with an audience of over 3,600, it would be convenient not to talk about one’s vulnerabilities, but I love how she is able to do it with such ease. Another lesson we got from her was to love one’s own self. Despite being curvy, she loves to dress up and does so flawlessly. It would be a shame for wasting your life dressing up in boring outfits each day.
↓ 8. Afrah
Afrah is a super mom who is based out of UAE and loves talking about lifestyle, makeup, and more. She is a big foodie which gives you ever the more reasons to follow her. She has a very comfortable and laid back sense of style that we absolutely adore. Many mommies out there often look for inspiration in terms of people who are comfortable enough in their skin to practice their own fashion sense. While being a stay-at-home mom may seem like an easy job, it definitely is not. We love how Afrah is able to handle it all with ease while juggling between all her responsibilities. Here is a picture of her from her trip to Washington, DC, which only proves her love for travel.
Despite being plus size, Afrah loves dressing up in floral outfits and pashmina scarfs. Watching her smile and go about her tasks with such confidence is definitely inspiring. She seems to own a large collection of Hijab Scarfs, and we definitely want to see more of them. Additionally, Afrah also talks about motherhood, and it is impressive how she is bringing up her 6-year-old son, Rahil. With a following of over 4,700, she is definitely someone to look up to.
↓ 7. Plus By Mai
Mai Alsaudi behind the Plus By Mai blog is a Middle Eastern blogger and is a mother to a beautiful baby girl named Ameera. She is all about body positivity and also talks about the difficulties that she faced as a mother. 116 million women worldwide have been affected by PCOS, which is a hormonal disorder. Not many people openly talk about it, but through her blog, she talks about her own struggle with it. We love her chic and casual fashion style, which appears super comfortable.
We have not seen a better-looking mom wearing wedges and sling bag so effortlessly. Being an Arab, she practices Hijab, and we admire her love for neutral colors that she is able to pair with almost every kind of outfit. She adds her personal touch to each look by picking out gorgeous pieces of accessories like sunglasses, handbags, and footwear. If you are a new mother or a mother-to-be and are looking for inspiration, Blog by Mai is the place for you.
↓ 6. Happily Hafsa
Hafsa is a motivational Muslim mom based in Chicago who claims to help moms be happy with themselves and their bodies. Despite having a simple and minimalistic style, she is definitely someone we take much of our fashion inspiration from. Her winter coats and beautiful scarfs are enough to brighten our Instagram Feeds. Hafsa often talks about body shaming in terms of skin color and weight. On other times, she talks about her beautiful family and the relationship she shares with her husband. She saw him for the first time on her university campus where he was draped in a Canadian flag, running about and screaming as Canada had won the World Junior Hockey Championship. That is when she told her friend, “I feel so bad for whoever marries this crazy guy.”
The ways in which Hafsa chooses to talk about her struggles, vulnerabilities, and shortcomings are commendable. More often than not, bloggers choose to filter out the happy moments of their lives when displaying their lives publically. This gives the impression of how perfect their lives are, which is often far from reality. Hafsa’s struggles with her weight, motherhood, and work are genuine. The way she deals with it all is a real example of resilience.

Here is one of our favorite Fashion bloggers, who is also a journalist. She is a Desi at heart and currently resides in Dubai. She is Pakistan’s first plus-size reporter and an amazing one at that. Her statement style involves wearing a head wrap as a Hijab along with some super quirky outfits. Arfa often gets questioned about her positive body messages, which are construed as promoting obesity. She defends herself by talking about how she has lost over 20 kilos and continues to struggle with weight loss. She encourages compassion and kindness by speaking against negative body images and abuse against people of all sizes.
She has immense love for makeup, dressing up, and reporting. She also has a thing for concerts and is often spotted at them. Being a Pakistani, we love how she carries Eastern attire along with her Hijab. If you are a plus size Hijabi and like all things beauty related, Arfa is the person to follow.

If sweet and sass had a face, it would be this supremely talented woman. Leopard prints, bold colors and a thing for makeup, are these not enough reasons to want to follow her? We love how she often takes to Instagram to talk about body shaming and how damaging it is. She talks about how she spent years obsessing over her weight and often looked into the unhealthy means of losing weight. Weight gain and weight loss are daily struggles that we all share but often do not feel the courage to address it. With individuals talking about it on such platforms, it gives a sense of relief to know that we are not alone.

Her optimistic outlook at life and the hardships that she has faced make her who she is, and we are super proud of her. Yasmine is an avid traveler and loves showcasing different cultures and places. One thing we admire about her is how she expresses her gratitude publically.
Yasmine often talks about toxic relationships and how important it is to break ties when it becomes harmful. She talks about finding love and accomplishing goals, not limited to time. With how fast paced our lives have become, it is helpful to unwind with some positivity thanks to her. Looking at the picture below, we cannot help but love her fashion sense.

She redefines the definition of beauty, and we are all for it. Kemala also happens to be one of the most followed Plus Size Hijabi bloggers.
This adorable image of her tells us exactly how to do Winter fashion for Plus size girls. Being a plus-size and a Hijabi does not get in her way of expressing herself. She often takes to her Instagram to talk about body shaming, and here is what she has to say, “Body shaming on social media is like a natural thing done by almost everyone. So natural, they do not consider it an act of abuse because they are used to seeing it on Social media,” and we could not agree more. We love how she is a source of positivity and can help many with her words of wisdom.
Excuse me but the sentence “Being Arab, she practices Hijab” makes no sense for two simple reasons.
1. Not all Arabs are Muslims
2. Muslim women “wear” the hijab they don’t “practice it”

I really enjoyed reading this, and gives me hope for younger hijabi women. However I am a soon to 65 year nana of 5 likes looking good. Unfortunately I have multiple health problems so look for hijabi smart clothes that are easy to put on and take of and wear and launder. Women really come into their own once their families are grown, unfortunately this is not reflected in bloggs or marketing. Come on fashionistas please beautiful ,reasonably priced clothing for hijabi ladies over a certain age who are not afraid to live.
Thank you for your valuable feedback Ann, this definitely needs more attention and I’ll ensure to publish a blog that caters to you and similar audiences. But I would like to mention that we do have many other articles published on hijabs and outfits with hijabs, please do check them out here as we discuss easy looks in many of them.
