The Hijab style is ubiquitous for female across the Muslim community that has
created new styles of Hijab that has shrunk the gap among Muslim women in the Muslim
community. In today’s modern time, Muslim women utilize modern Western fashion and styles
of the Muslim fashion as a standard to look trendy and of course to meet the requirements of
the religion. In other words, Muslim women wear the hijab with the intention not only to fulfil
the religion requirement but also to look like fashionable Muslimah. In recent years, there are
growing numbers of Malaysian Muslim entrepreneurs that focus on Muslimah fashion and
have made it at the global stage such as Naelofar Hijab and dUCk. Hijab symbolizes a
woman’s commitment to her faith by covering oneself as a means self-respect and selfprotection
in Islam. This paper attempt to describe the hijab trend among Muslim women in
Malaysia. In the current time hijab has been worn not only to reflect one’s religious beliefs
but at the same time it is also to keep up with the current fashion trend.
