Salam Sis, I know how u feel it was hard for me to go to school, work and try to be muslim but at the same time wear something that isnt gonna label me as "oppressed." I strongly suggest u go to jcpenny for nice jean skirts! they look really nice and they cover well, for coats and sweaters check burlington coat factory and other stores (coats are easy to find.) If you need help, get up between 2-4 and pray Salat al Layl, and then just ask Allah for guideness La Ino Samee3on Baseer.

Here is a little poem that may help:
When u wear the hijab u feel good
Coz u know its right
But when u put on your tight fitting clothes
The angels take flight
And stop singing your praises
You're caught up in the middle
Being Muslim and western
Your mind knows that its Allah u should obey and follow
But you're confused
About which pill to swallow
And u try and follow the middle path
Even though u know their aint no such thing
But u just can't resist not wearing bling
You're young and vulnerable
In a society that's just corruptible
Taking advantage of your naivety
Models with size 6 and 8 clothing
On the billboards and magazines
Brainwashing u
It's hard to resist
And they persist
Pictures everywhere
Nowhere is safe
So u gotta buy those clothes
And go on a starvation diet to make sure they fit
Doesn't always go with the hijab
But u try and make it all blend in
Coz you're a victim of fashion
Which in every nation
Is like a God
Dictating and manipulating
Young minds
Filled with false images of beauty
Trying to conform
I know coz it affects me to
People comment and talk about u
Behind your back they stab u
With words
Cut like a razor
Are u aware?
Does it not faze ya?
Upset ya
Make u feel that you're letting down your deen
What's the point
Wearing a hijab
With tight clothing
Gaining reward
And losing it
When u put on your tight jeans and top
Should u not stop and think?
U cry modesty in self defence
Make the non-Muslim woman the basis
And say Islam urges modesty and moderation
Quote modernist scholars
Those who sell out Islam for just a few dollars
You say women in the west are oppressed
And slaves to man and society
Have no respect or dignity
Used and abused like products
But what about you
Who are u a slave to?
Allah or fashion?
U always justify
And compare and contrast
With those who wear less than u
My words may be harsh
But u know it's true
I'm only saying
What others are thinking
And saying behind your back
Giving u advice
Coz your actions are harming us
It's easy to judge
And harder to change and budge
From following kufr
At least u make an effort
But Islam we take completely
Coz halfway Islam don't mean nothing on the last day
When we will all stand in front of Allah naked

You have to follow the 5 pillars, increase your knowledge, do things that are Halal avoid things that are Haram. As for your dress if you feel uncomfortable walking the streets in your hijab i can understand that, you feel like you are drawing attention to yourself and being looked at. But are you not being looked at wearing tight clothes? You could still wear loose modest clothes and for them not to be a hijab. Why do you need wide cloth, sorry i dont understand what you mean by this. You have to remember you dont dress to please others you dress to cover yourself that Allah is the one you should worry about pleasing. If you feel threatened wearing it that it is drawing negative attention and you dont feel safe it is permissible to remove your headscarf but still be modest and dressed with long sleeves a long skirt and not showing cleavage. You can still wear attractive modest clothes without causing attraction to yourself. Insha Allah sister Allah will guide you. Peace to you.....

i know how you feel. just looking for a shirt that isn't too tight or too small makes me crazy. its really hard to find something that isn't too revealing. i'm size small, but i usually try to get a larger one because shirts keep getting smaller. anyway its not wrong to wear attractive clothes just nothing that would be showing. sorry i dont think i helped...i have the same problem so i dont know what to tell you.

dear sister you can wear beautiful clothes and look pretty without wearing tight clothes. With Hijab your modesty will be exemplified inshallah. Don't worry about what others will think, let that become an opportunity for others to learn more about Islam.
