Why You Shouldn't Wear 'Body Wear' (Carina)

Why You Shouldn't Wear 'Body Wear' (Carina):



Its not made of 100% cotton or absorbent fabric at all, which can make you sweat and feel agitated all day. There are cotton alternatives such as the Egyptian brand "Hobby", but Islamically - and fashion wise lol - should not be worn under clothing that exposes a lot of arm and chest. In fact, I don't recall any fashion guidelines whatsoever, that even 'allows' Lycra to be mixed with anything except tennis shoes and a gym lol.

Anyway this first point is important because if you have acne problems like I do, LYCRA IS A PAIN. And a BIG no no. There is no perspiration possible with this tight synthetic fabric.
Here is an example. This is a modeling photo of Egyptian model Yasmin Mohsen and another model(I can't remember her name).

On the right, Yasmin Mohsen is wearing a typical "Carina" body wear undershirt, beneath a short sleeved top/dress. The other model on the left is wearing a long sleeved shirt.

Now, you don't have to be limited to just buying and wearing long sleeved dresses or shirts, because I know that can be such a pain especially when the dress fits well but the shoulders and sleeves are all YUCK. Which is why blouses (cotton, or even satin :) look beautiful AND don't make you look like you spray painted yourself just so your skin color doesn't show, 'allowing' you to wear shorter clothing :P.


Here's my question to you: Which looks more like CLOTHING? :P

Sure, the model's shirt on the left probably isn't as loose as it should be, but I can't really define her arms curves as easily and obviously as the model on the right! Infact, sometimes I wonder if 'Carina' has become the 'Muslim' or Egyptian "Latex" :-O.

In actual terms its more like Spandex. In fact, it is made from Lycra! 

"What's that you're wearing under that beautiful shirt/dress? Is..is that Spandex? Are you heading to an Aerobics class later or what?"



In fact, it is actually used in many lingerie products! Now, just because lace is used in lingerie, surely its not bad to wear a dress with lace outside. But- Lycra is actually used to make lingerie for those with body suit/latex-like/tight clothing fetishes!


You wouldn't wear Latex or tight leather outside with a scarf on your head, even if you wore the loosest long dress in the world, just exposing the arms or part of the arms, now would you??

Not only would you look ridiculous and your pores would suffer, but honestly, it's a turn on! Come on, what guy hasn't even had a glimpse of pornography, or browsed lingerie catologues, or even accidently turned on TV to find latex chicks in music videos! It then becomes an association with sex. And well, they have the damn right to, too. Because its damn sexy lol.

AND HIJAB IS NOT SEXY!

Besides, BODY WEAR LOOKS DAMN UGLY.

I'm sorry, but it's the truth.

I ask Allah's forgiveness for all the times I supported and wore carina/lycra/spandex/body wear. 

I'm sorry but there is JUST TOO MUCH TO COVER on this topic. I will have to resume this article later. In fact, I just might have to make a video all about it.
