Fashion accounts are a huge part of Instagram, the only place where you can find artistic ways to dress and look Super-HOT! You can rely full time for excellent outfit ideas or just marvel at the beautiful pictures of influencers that are professionally taken and color graded.

When we talk about modern style inspiration, a familiar few come to our mind — the Hadid sisters, Kardashians, Hailey Baldwin (the perks of having famous and influential parents) and some more. But none of them are modest fashion models. So, following their style is certainly not the choice of all women.

Wearing a Hijab does not mean you can’t dress to impress. There’s a lot of negative criticism on the internet about it not being old school, but not anymore, because now there’s a whole new world of fashionistas on Instagram who are taking ‘Hijab Fashion’ to the next level. We thought we should introduce you to the outrageously talented and off-center Instagrammers in the fashion game who cover their head and are worth following by the Muslim women all over the world.
