Winter Trend Alert: Chunky Knits!

If you've been watching the runways, the stores, or just people around you, you know that chunky knits are a huge trend this season. Actually, they're kind of a classic that are always in fashion for winter and fall, but definitely this year. I absolutely love chunky knits; sweaters, scarves, cardigans, everything! They look fabulous, but are as comfortable and warm as wearing pajamas. What more could you ask for?

A chunky scarf in classic red is the perfect accent to any winter outfit...

Rust and neutrals are also gorgeous for the winter time.

And the grand finale...

I bet there is a variety of animals and unidentified creatures living under that gray scarf haha.

Tips on wearing this trend:

• Don't wear your hijab in a long, flowy style with a chunky knitted accessory or sweater; it will render you a bit. . .frumpy. Keep your hijab in a small, tidier style. Because chunky knits are large and loose, it will compensate for any chest coverage that you may lose by wearing a smaller hijab style.
• Try tucking your hijab into your knitted scarf, and wear the scarf round (similar to an infinity scarf) like the rust-colored scarf in the image above Kate Bosworth. Don't let your hijab dangle out of the knitted scarf; it'll look messy.
• If you're outfit is a little bit too "chunky," try belting your sweater to create a more polished look.
• Layer wisely. Don't shy away from loose chunky sweaters that hang over the shoulder. Wear a tight, long sleeve tee under it. Play with layers and colors to create gorgeous yet cozy hijabi outfits.
