What's up Zolace fans! Welcome back to Hijab Fridays! In today's edition we are going to be creating a look that is inspired by the crazy talented Zara Zya. She is a powerful woman who is business savvy, and always fashion forward.

Plus, I'm always looking for styles that work well with round faces, and this style is actually perfect! Since it's so voluminous, it makes it super flattering and beautiful for any kind of rounder face. Here we go! Today you will need 1 brooch and 4 pins, and, make sure you have our Zehna Chiffon Rectangle Shawl. Let's get started!

Step 1: Place your shawl over you

Start by placing your shawl over you, keeping one side shorter than the other. Try experimenting with how you section your shawl at the beginning, because, this will determine how much coverage you end up getting, as well as the length of drapes you end up with on the side. Practice makes perfect!

Step 2: Take brooch and secure both sides

Take your brooch and secure both sides together at the back of your neck.

Step 3: Move the fabric onto the longest side

Move all of the fabric onto the side that is longest, but grab hold of the short side and flip it upwards onto the top of your head. Here's where you can neatly pin it in place to each side of your head.

Step 4: Take the inside edge of the long hanging side

Now, take the inside edge of the long hanging side and swirl it up and around you creating a beautiful drape in the front.

Step 5: Pin this layer to the side of your face

Pin this layer to the side of your face, and then under by your ear on the other side. After you make any small adjustments to even things out, you're done!

Final Style

Pair It With

This looks is a great choice for Raya because it's fairly dressy and somewhat quick to do if you have a lot of functions to attend. You might as well start planning your outfits ahead of time, so make sure you pick up one of our Embracing Basic Tops, and, be one of the first to try our brand new Left in a Spin Skirt that's launching soon!
