The Sunday Sweater

Looking for a slouchy, comfortable, tunic-length pullover for the remainder of winter?  You know the one I'm talking about - the kind of sweaters that you can throw on over ANYTHING - a skirt, skinny jeans, regular jeans, your favorite PJs as you answer the door (because let's be honest, we don't get out of our PJs until the PM hours).  It's your Sunday go-to because it's easy over everything.  This sweater is the one.

The Candystore Pullover sweater from Hive and Honey, available at Piperlime, easily past the waist-line, over your rear, and half-way down your thighs - the big problem areas for Muslim women.  While it has a slightly more fit than the typical slouchy sweater, it's great for women seeking to maintain the Islamic requirements but also flattering with style.

Use "EXTRA20" in the checkout and get an extra 20% off.  Offer expires 1/14



A few extra colors (Citron, Cherry Tomato, and Carmel Cafe are all part of the Lime Tag Sale!)

Winter Wonderland

I've never been a fan of the cold but I've always been a fan of sweaters.  Bulky, oversized, chunky, warm, cozy, soft, fleecey sweaters.  They're super easy to wear as a Muslim woman, or really - ANY woman - but with the added bonus of modest style and usually in fashion!

This photo came across our Pinterest feed recently, and of course, I had to repost.  It's a cute style for any Muslim woman and translates well at any age - from fashion-risk high schooler, to style-developing college student, to chic and sophisticated post-20s.

The Winter Slouch

I've gotten to the point of late fall/early winter where it's getting too cold to care.  Tired am I of fitted, colorful items.  Layers are coming on and the bulk is building up.  I want to dress quickly and warmly, burrow my head down, and make it to spring.

But obviously, I want to look like a well-dressed version of a hibernating bear.  If possible, I'd look like Edie Blair from Atlantic-Pacific on every one of my grocery runs.


Burrowing from the winter yourself?  We've styled a few options to achieve this modest Muslim casual style for those days you just don't want to try.

Click on any of the items below to be taken to the retailer.  Also check out additional options in our previous posts on warm, oversized, slouchy, cable-knit, tunic sweaters.
