Are there similarities between Western clothing and hijab?
Many have forgotten that the Western clothing, as we know it today, is actually quite new. As recently as 70 years ago, the clothes worn in the West shared a lot of similarity with the hijab. Western women earlier wore full dresses and different types of head coverings for work and even social gatherings. Muslim women don’t necessarily see hijab as an impractical garment. Once they get accustomed to it they feel comfortable in it.
