Women dress up for Ramadan: A look at female power dressing

AUSTRALIA’S “power dressing” is the latest trend in the Muslim world.
It has become popular in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other Muslim countries.
Women are expected to cover their heads, heads in the air, and be in a tight, modest attire.
But in a country where men are allowed to wear the full veil and women are forbidden to wear one, women are seen as symbols of empowerment.
In the past few months, a wave of women’s body hair has been reported in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
Saudi media reported that a woman was seen shaving her head at a hotel, then returning to her room with the hair uncovered.
A video on social media showed the woman wearing a tight white dress and a headscarf.
She then put the headscarff back on.
The Saudi-based al-Jazeera news channel said the woman “made the hijab cover her head, but left the hair on the head.”
Saudi women are expected, for the first time in the modern era, to cover up their hair and wear a head scarf.
Al Jazeera has reached out to Saudi authorities for comment.
Another popular trend is the “power dress.”
It involves wearing the head scarf or veil in the traditional Islamic way, in public.
“It’s not about covering up the hair, but it’s about covering the face and it’s very important to show it off,” said Mamdouh Elnab, a Sydney-based Muslim women’s rights activist.
One woman was photographed wearing a power dress during Ramadan.
Some Muslim countries are also starting to use the “maufiya,” or headscarves, as an alternative to the full-face veil.
This is the Islamic way of covering up hair in Muslim countries, but the issue of women wearing the full veils in the name of empowerment is gaining traction in other Muslim-majority countries, including the United Arab Emirates.
When women wear the head scarves in Muslim-dominated countries, it is seen as a sign of respect, said Ms Elnaba.
Even if women are dressed as the head of state, they are still expected to wear a full-length veil, as the hijab is a requirement in the Islamic faith.
While the hijab has been on the rise in some Muslim-controlled countries, in some places like Egypt and Saudi Arabia it has been replaced with the full face veil.
The “moojjati,” a phrase used to describe a full head covering in Islam, is a term for the full head coverings that have been worn by women in Saudi Arabian dress.
According to Islamic tradition, a full moojjat, or full veil, is required for women to perform religious duties.
There is a long history of women in Islamic countries being seen as the guardians of society.
Most Muslim countries have strict dress codes, which often prevent women from leaving the house or visiting the toilet.
