most are cool, colourful and funky, but i have noticed that a lot are just down right fugly, over the top and extremely tacky. take these into consideration:
red ruffles, corset-bodice and a full spanish style skirt with a hijab in a western wedding veil-like wrap, with a huge flower on top = effing gross. just too worng. hurts my eyes. seriously - who the eff would wear this mess?
or how about full on tacky-cheap leopard print? leopard print is usually a trailer park trashee's favourite design, so when i see a full length butterfly abaya and matching hijab i just want to vomit all over my own lap. even the model isnt happy about wearing it...
anywho - i guess this is why i prefer the khaleeji (arab gulf) style of hijab - it is a lot less 'all over the place', simpler and in my mind much classier. dont get me wrong - i love egypt and egyptians, but some of them are definitely the queens of cheap and tacky. sometimes the layers and layers of crap and the race to see "who can look the most colourful?" is just way too much.
subtle and refined are words to keep in mind.
