All About Islamic Clothing

Islam is one of the most influential religions of the world. Its followers are spread all across the world. Though people's clothes are influenced by their culture and tradition, there are other factors that can motivate them. Some of these factors include availability of resources and materials, climate, social status and group identity. Islamic clothing also follows the same pattern. The Muslim attires usually vary from place to place.

Islamic clothing usually reflects their belief and values. Their garments must be modest and decent in appearance. Though they are simple, the outfits worn by Muslim men and women are quite attractive. Most of these clothes are made from cotton and are very much suitable for hot and humid conditions. Thereby, this type of Islamic clothing is in high demands in Asian and Middle East countries.

Generally Islamic clothing is differentiated into two main groups - the Islamic urban wear and the rural wear. The former are usually highly fashionable cloths and are costly. They include shirt and paint with suit as well as the traditional jubbah and pajamas. On the other hand, the rural wears include cotton pajamas and jubbah for men. The rural women wear simple salwar-kurta along with black Burkha over their face.

These garments are also very loose to ensure that they do not distinguish or outline the shape of body underneath. Apart from covering their body in public, the apparels worn by Muslim men and women should also be thick enough to cover the real color of the skin. Usually shiny and flashy clothes are forbidden by Islam as they can overpower their overall modesty. In addition, it is a taboo for Islam men to wear the feminine accessories like gold and silk.

These clothes are also available in various different ranges. They are ideal to bring a change in your personality and look. Men can conveniently opt for the fashionable jubbahs and pajamas. Women looking for such apparels can buy burka that covers your body completely and hijabs, which are modest and loose garments and come with a scarf. This scarf goes over your head and then under your chin. Other types of Muslim attires for women include abayas and jilbab.

You can buy Islamic clothing at the wholesale market as well as from online stores. There are many good shops that sell quality and exclusive Islamic clothing. However, buying them from online shopping site is always beneficial as such sites offer high discount rates.  Alice Shown

Short Hairstyles and Long Hairstyles of the Hollywood Elite

These women are turning heads with their hairdo's...you can, too

Thinking about getting a new, updated 2004 hairstyle? If you're like many women, trying to choose between short hairstyles, a long hair style, a long layered hair style, a medium hairstyle, a punk hair style, an 80's hair style, and all of the women's hairstyle options that exist can make your head spin.

One thing you can do to end all that "hair-raising" confusion is to spend some time getting to know short hairstyles, medium hairstyle, and long hair style in pictures. Sure, you can find updo hair styles, or an emo girl hair punk style, or a homecoming hair style by looking in a hairstyle magazine, but if you really want to be hot, hot, hot -- check out what's happening in Hollywood hairstyles.

Short hairstyles in Hollywood are favored by Cameron Diaz and Sharon Stone, as well as Winona Ryder and superstar Halle Berry. A medium hairstyle has always worked well for Meg Ryan, Sandra Bullock, and Drew Barrymore. But it's a long hair style -- especially a long layered hair style -- that is the signature of stars like Hilary Duff, Mena Suvari, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Short hairstyles, according to many Hollywood stylists, convey a sense of youth and independence and are the choice for characters thatare rebellious and strong-willed. A medium hairstyle, they say, is well-suited to an on-screen character who's a soccer mom, working woman, or "the girl next door." But it's the long-layered hair style remains first choice for actresses who want to convey pure sensuality.

Whether you select a medium hairstyle or a long hair style, whether you'd like one of the new short hairstyles or one of the short hairstyles from long ago...whatever women's hairstyle you think is right for you, a professional stylist can make you a "star."  Susan Barclay
