There’s a new hijab style that’s gaining popularity among local headscarf-wearing fashionistas. It’s a style you may not know the name of, but which you’d very likely recognise. When we hear the term “sulam”, we immediately think of the sulam, square-shaped scarf style popular among local hijabis between the years 2000 and 2010. That design faded in appeal over the years, but it’s making a comeback in the form of a rectangular shawl.
Sulam shawls are currently being worn by younger hijabis who want modern but ornate styles that even the older generation would fancy. It’s a novel spin on a basic shawl with sulam sewn on the edge to give your style a more traditional feel. With that said, here are 5 ways you can wear your sulam hijab.
Sulam Style #1
For girls who want to experiment with their hijabs, try the long turban look. With so many hijababes sporting this style, it’s the fad of the decade. Furthermore, wearing the sulam hijab will give your outfit more flare.

Sulam Style #2
This style is excellent if you want something basic and easy to do, with only a few pins. It’s beautiful and refined, making it ideal for special occasions such as weddings. Also, the sulam would elegantly frame your face, providing that “wow” factor to your overall look.

If sulam framing your face is not your thing, don’t fret. Style it THIS way to decorate your outfit, adding sophistication and elegance to your whole look. It’s how you would normally wear your chiffon hijab, but the sulam will elevate your look to greater heights.

Sulam Style #4
Pins and needles can be inconvenient, and they aren’t always necessary. Try a refined, pin-free look by draping the sulam hijab completely to your left. It looks exquisite and gives you the feeling of being “perempuan Melayu terakhir.”

Sulam Style #5
Of course, with sulam being the hot topic, it would be remiss of us to not include a bawal style hijab. However, instead of a square-shaped hijab, this time, it’s rectangular – which will still achieve the same result.
