BY REQUEST: Niqab with glasses

Cairogirl asked for tips on how to wear sunglasses with niqab without looking like Darth Vader. Step one is find a niqab with a little wider of a slit, the kind that shows a bit of where your temples are.

Stay with smaller square frames and frames in different colours than your niqab generally look best (or black frames lined with pink---like my glass frames). If wearing reading glasses opt for a stringless niqab because the string will show---- and it doesn't matter with sunglasses cuz they are tinted dark so you can stick with a nose string if that is your fave niqab style.

If you are going to go big, go with a funky shape. Boxie has big pink metal rimmed aviators, and I DO have a pair of kids heart sunglasses. I'll try and make a vid with one of the mannequins to truly show the style. The great big giant round frames we love for hijabs alone can work to, but they do make one look a little robotic. Whatever you do, don't do medium sized ROUND frames with niqab. It looks goofy. Unless that's the look you are going for....
