Sobia Masood says that modest fashion does not have to equate to boring fashion. Masood is a social media influencer and first-generation Muslim American who hopes her choice to dress modestly is an inspirational one. “You can actually be fashionable, and whether you choose to wear a headscarf, it’s a personal choice,” she says. She notes that her choice to dress modestly centers around the personal values of humility: “Being humble helps me fulfill my obligations as a Muslim and gain a greater purpose.”
Masood shares her journey on her Instagram and says she hopes to not only inspire other Muslim women but to encourage all people to embrace their individuality. “Hopefully [my story] encourages and inspires other people to get out there and be accepted for exactly who they want to be.”
