Best Beach Outfits for Hijab: 5 Ideas to Try

A hijab shouldn’t keep you from going to the beach. As long as you can find a modest, stylish outfit to wear, you can enjoy being at the beach for the whole summer!

The thing is, to create the perfect beach outfit, you need the magic three: comfort, breathability, and style! And that may be easier said than done when you also must ensure that the outfit is modest and loose enough. 

Well, fret not! We’re here to help.

In this article, we’ll tell you how to create the best beach outfits for hijab using items you probably already own.

The 5 Best Beach Outfits for Hijab

A beach outfit should be sand-friendly, comfortable, and breathable. Because let’s face it, the beach is already hot, so you don’t need your outfit to be weighing you down or causing you to sweat excessively.

With this in mind, we compiled the best beach outfits for hijab here!

1- Denim Jacket and Skirt

Denim jackets are stylish, easy to wear, and convenient for summer outfits. You can wear a denim jacket on top of a sleeveless top in case you get hot easily. And the best part is, you can wear the jacket with any skirt you have, whether it’s floral, solid-colored, or pleated.

A floral skirt like EMMA’s Asia Maria would look simply amazing on a denim jacket. Pair that outfit with a beach bag and a large straw hat, and you’ll have the best beach look you can get!

2- White Dress

A white dress is the most versatile piece you can have in your wardrobe for the summer. You can wear it with literally anything—a printed hijab, a solid-colored hijab, a cardigan, a straw hat—name it, and it’ll probably look fabulous paired with a white summer dress.

For a beach outfit, pair a white dress with sandals or slippers, and wear a printed hijab with colorful patterns, like Bianca, which features bright blue and yellow shades—the perfect tones for the beach!

3- Long Cardigan and Floral Skirt

If you want to be as comfortable as you can on the beach, you won’t find a better combination than a long cardigan with a flowy floral skirt. Long cardigans are modest and loose-fitting, which makes it easy to style them with hijab.

You can wear your cardigan with a white top and a floral skirt like EMMA’s Graceful Maria. The outfit will be easy to style because you’ll only need a beach bag and some beach slippers to match!

4- Swimming Suit Full Set

If you’re going to the beach for a swim, you can wear a swimsuit full set for an outfit. Full sets come with a top and a pair of leggings for swimming, and to make the suit into a full outfit, they also come with sarongs and mesh scarves.

So, you can wear the sarong on the leggings, then tie the scarf on top for full coverage. A good example of these sets is Hadia Ghaleb’s products.

The influencer’s brand offers modest swimwear with unique and trendy designs. You can choose to get a full set with four pieces or a regular set with only the two pieces needed for swimming.

5- A Modest Matching Set

Matching sets have been in style for a couple of years now, especially the modest ones meant for hijabis. These sets often consist of two pieces: a loose-fitting pair of pants and a long, loose top in a matching color. 

Similar sets are pretty easy to style because you have only one color to work with. You can pair them with a complementing solid-colored hijab or a printed hijab that contains the same color somewhere.

In all cases, these modest sets are ideal for the beach because they’re comfortable and loose. On top of that, most of them are made using breathable materials, so you won’t be feeling hot and sweaty while wearing them.
