Building a capsule wardrobe is like designing your dream closet where every piece is both stylish and versatile. For me, the ideal wardrobe is one where each item can be easily styled in multiple ways. The key is having timeless pieces that mix and match effortlessly, making outfit choices not just simpler but more exciting. VELA’s collection embodies this perfectly. Their pieces combine elegance with practicality, letting me effortlessly transition from a more refined look for special occasions to an everyday outfit such as jeans and a VELA scarf.

One standout from VELA’s collection is their pleated abayas. These aren’t just classic pieces; they’re a versatile canvas for countless outfits. The elegant pleating adds a sophisticated touch while balancing casual and elevated styles. Whether you go for neutral shades or add a pop of color, these abayas are incredibly easy to mix and match with almost anything.

My Favorite Style Tip: I love layering a pleated abaya over my favorite jeans. It creates a perfect blend of traditional and modern, making it suitable for both everyday errands and more dressed-up events.

Add a Pop of Color

Don’t be afraid to let your favorite colors shine. One that stands out to me most is VELA’s metallic pink abaya. This rich color is ideal for making a statement while being casually bold. Layer it over neutral colors to instantly elevate your outfit.

Styling Tip: When wearing a colorful abaya, take it a step further with accessories. The Twisted Pearl Gold Hoop or necklace from VELA x Nominal’s recent collaboration would perfectly complement a look like this.

The Finishing Touch: Chiffon and Modal Hijabs

Hijabs are more than just a final touch—they’re essential to completing your outfit. VELA’s chiffon and modal hijabs are both stylish and practical. I enjoy experimenting with their different colors, whether I’m contrasting a neutral outfit with a bright hijab or keeping it understated with earthy tones. VELA offers a style and material for every mood and occasion. Some of my favorites are Pista Kulfi, Earthy Bark, and Deep Taupe. 

Styling Tip: Play around with different ways to style your hijab. It’s a great way to personalize your look and showcase your unique style. I remember one night spent in front of the mirror with my Red Amber hijab, which led me to discover my favorite styling technique—a routine I now use every day.

Accessorize 

Accessories can make a huge difference in your overall look. VELA offers practical accessories that enhance your hijab styling. Their hijab magnets are a game-changer, providing a secure hold without leaving any holes or marks on your fabric. This means your hijab stays perfectly in place all day long, without any worries. My favorites are their Matte Nude magnets as they blend in seamlessly with all of my hijabs! 

And if you’re looking to change your hijab game even further, VELA’s hijab hoops are a favorite choice. Coming in both gold and silver, their Orbital and Pearl hoops are perfect for special occasions or when you simply want to add a bit more to your everyday outfits. 

The beauty of a capsule wardrobe lies in its versatility. With VELA’s wide variety of abayas, combined with its range of hijabs and accessories, you can create a variety of looks that fit any occasion. Mix and match to suit your styling wishes and the demands of your day-to-day life, and you’ll always be ready in confidence.
