I’m curious about something and would love to hear from Algerian women here, especially hijabis.

Do you feel like there’s enough variety when it comes to women’s clothing in Algeria, or do you often struggle to find certain styles?

I’m thinking beyond the usual idea of “modest fashion.” For example:

Different types of tops and interesting cuts

Baggy, wide-leg and cargo pants

Skort / skirt-pants

Stylish everyday and sportswear

Korean or Chinese-inspired fashion

Modern clothing inspired by Amazigh patterns or details

More options for different aesthetics and personalities rather than just basic “modest” pieces

I’ll attach a few pictures to give you an idea of the styles I mean.

For hijabis specifically: do you feel that most available clothes are designed around being modest first, while style and self-expression come second?

If you could ask an Algerian clothing brand to make one type of clothing that’s currently difficult to find here, what would it be?

And would you personally be interested in having more of these styles available locally?

I’m mainly interested in hearing what women actually want and what they feel is missing from the Algerian market.

انا بحطها الان بالانستا: @mermar.dz .تفتكرو احط لكم more parts اعطوني colors و انا احط

I find the clothes Mother Mary is often depicted as wearing as very beautiful and modest, but try as I might I can’t find something that looks like that style. I particularly am interested in the inner, long sleeve dress that has that specific collar shape and drape that I see repeated over and over. Images attached for reference.

I tried searching through abayas and got close-ish but not quite, I searched for an answer to that question directly and got the result of “tunic dress” but searching “tunic dress” is really broad and doesn’t yield the same results. Searching “Mother Mary tunic dress” yields costumey looking costumes that also don’t have that same collar and often don’t have that sort of drapery seen in the depicted dress shape. I’m not looking for any sort of costume, I’m looking for similar dresses for non-theatrical wear, just using these depictions as inspiration.

Are there search terms I could use to more easily find something of this style? Also, does anyone know if this style is culturally specific or at all sensitive to who wears it?

Btw all photos found on Pinterest (I’m aware that’s likely not their original source) for ease of general citation in case someone wants to track them down to look them up in more detail. I tried to avoid anything AI generated but sometimes it’s difficult to tell so some may be on accident.

thank you!

Dress is from Retro Stage, the scarf is vintage.

trying not to let it wreck my confidence. my favorite is the grey and black ofc she says that one is the worst.

Salaam everyone, absolutely love dressing modestly, started recently. It makes me feel so much more feminine and elegant but also comfortable.

I need to find more undershirts that are not too hot!! Are light colors like this okay? I have a few abaya style dresses like this that are very light colored.

Nice sunday to everyone!❤️

Last picture is mockup to see how the outfit would look like if we wear it

Im going to my sister's madrasa for prophets day. She is singing a song for that day. So im going to see it.

Is this outfit appropriate. That's not me by the way that's ai lol.but i have the exactly outfit .

Plsss tell

I love dressing modest it makes me feel confident and in control even though I’m not religious people assume I am because I dress modest does anyone else experience this ?

Anyway I found these beautiful swim suits I love they look elegant and people feel they have the right to comment. So I will ask here what are your thoughts on this does it look more like a dress than a swimsuit.
