How to wear a shayla
Three easy ways to wear a shayla, from the classic Gulf wrap to a softer occasion look. All you need is a shayla, a cap and two pins.
Before you start
Put on a tie cap or hijab cap so the shayla has something to grip. Georgette is the easiest fabric to learn with because it does not slip.
Style 1: the classic wrap
Drape the shayla over your head with the right side much longer. Pin under the chin, bring the long side over the top of your head and let it fall over the opposite shoulder. Pin it at the shoulder.
Style 2: the loose drape
Place the shayla with both ends equal, pin under the chin and toss one end loosely over the opposite shoulder without wrapping. Effortless and cool for hot days.
Style 3: the occasion look
Use chiffon or shimmer over a matching cap. Wrap once, then pleat the front edge softly and pin at the side for a polished finish.
