However, the formal Muslimah’s work clothes currently follow the trend with no regard to the suitability of the function of the work clothes and Islamic shari’a. This study aims at obtaining the criteria for Muslimah’s work clothes, in terms of silhouette and materials used. The research method employed is literature review on the criteria, as well as the analysis of a number of Muslimah’s work clothes images obtained from personal documentation, magazines, and online shops. The finding shows three groups of Muslimah work clothes: closed to shari’a criteria, to basic concept of work clothes, and to both groups.
