The rapid development of Islamic fashion design is a positive phenomenon; however, it may lead to issues due to the lack of understanding among designers, the fashion industry, and consumers regarding the dress code that aligns with the guidance of the Qur'an and Sunnah. This study aims to clarify the concept of the dress code in the Qur'an to address societal uncertainties. A literature review with a comparative approach was employed, comparing the interpretations of two prominent Southeast Asian Quranic scholars, HAMKA and Ahmad Sonhadji, regarding three key verses on dress code in the Qur'an: al-A'raf : 26, an-Nur : 31, and al-Ahzab: 59. The findings reveal that both scholars share similar views on the core concept of the dress code, with minor differences that do not affect the overall conclusion. The dress code in the Qur'an, according to HAMKA and Ahmad Sonhadji, includes: 1) covering the ‘awrah, 2) beautifying within permissible limits, 3) avoiding excessiveness, 4) not displaying body shape, and 5) women must wear a headscarf that covers the chest. Therefore, Muslims should maintain their dignity by wearing clothing in accordance with Islamic law, avoiding undue influence from fashion trends, and being guided by the intention of piety towards Allah SWT.
