Islam is the religion of decency, so as the clothes. Though Islamic clothing was considered conservative as compared to western clothing, there was a reason behind that which cannot be ignored. As we live in a cosmopolitan world, there are no taboos to accept clothing from other religions. Moreover, as Muslims are living in the entire world including non-Muslim areas, they need to wear clothes that will distinguish them. Clothing differently is the first step to make own identity. At the same time, Muslim dresses represent the religion that makes them apart from others.
Many American and European Muslims who were staying away from traditional Muslim dresses like Kaftan are returning to it. Previously, it was hard to find stylish yet traditional and classy Muslim dresses, but the internet and online stores have made it easier. Online stores have made it possible to buy nice and fashionable dresses across the world. As it has become easier to pick ethnic and diverse outfits under the bracket of Muslim dresses, people are getting inclined to it.
You will find numerous stores that keep Kaftans, Hijabs, abayas, jubbah, and other Islamic attires just a click away. You will also get Islamic dresses for different occasions – for both professional and festive purposes. See this trend, sellers have vested interest in keeping different types of fashionable dresses available in their online stores.
Another influential factor behind the popularization of Islamic clothing is that people are now more focused to showcase their religious clothing more and want to introduce it to the world they are living in. This is easily achieved by wearing traditional clothes that are described in the Holy Quran. According to the Holy Quran, it is essential for both men and women to cover their bodies and not display them inappropriately. This is why, loose-fitting dresses like Kaftans, jilbabs, and abayas are popular among Muslim women. Muslim men are in awe of jubbah because of the same reason. Additionally, women cover their heads in public to stay away from unwanted attention. This is the underlying truth for wearing hijabs not the reason media shows to the world.
As we all know Islamic clothing strongly depicts the religion irrespective of the place they are living in, the majority of Muslims wear this as it represents the united Muslim nation to the rest of mankind.
These are all the reasons that Islamic dress is gaining popularity in Western countries and becoming a trend.
