Why do I feel out of fashion when I wear loose clothes?

This question is often asked…
Why does clothing that covers me make me feel less than me?
Why do people look at me as if I don’t understand my style when I wear something loose?

Loose clothing isn’t a problem.
The problem lies with those around us.
Those who associate “beauty” with “tightness”
and “femininity” with “revealing.”

But the truth?
Femininity has never been about size,
nor about showing everything off.

Femininity lies in confidence…
in being present without fuss,
in walking in a crowd… without losing yourself.

Islamic dress isn’t supposed to obscure your personality.
It’s supposed to “accentuate” it, but in a more mature, calm, and powerful way.

Let your clothing reflect you.
Not people’s expectations.
