Rawdah Mohamed Gives Monochrome Dressing a Playful Spin in This Patterned Outfit

There was a time when modest dressing had a reputation synonymous with dull and drab clothing, but this is no longer the case. As more and more hijab-wearing and demurely dressed women enter the fashion space, modest style inspiration abounds. Case in point: Somali model Rawdah Mohamed, who recently made a case for a fun ensemble in a pattern few would dare to wear head-to-toe.

The Vogue Scandinavia fashion editor opted for a full-sleeved dress doused in black and white checks, and making a bold choice, paired it with flared pants in the same dizzying print. While the two pieces were essentially the same in pattern, the slight difference in the color and size of the checks is what made the outfit work and noteworthy. The Oslo-based model completed the look with a white headscarf and green lace-up platform boots and chose to go without any accessories to help the playful pieces stand out.

In another post, Mohamed can be seen keeping warm outdoors by topping the outfit off with a long black coat draped over her shoulders, or wearing a sleeveless cream-colored knitted turtleneck over the dress. For those wishing to go big with a print like this—which can also be toned down when needed—it’s time to take a page out of the model’s book with this styling trick.
