Best everyday hijab: georgette
Georgette is the fabric we recommend most, and for good reason. It is opaque, holds its shape, grips the cap so it does not slip, and comes in the widest range of shades. If you buy one hijab, start here.
Best no-pin hijab: jersey
Moja jersey is a Turkish bamboo jersey that stretches and stays put on its own. It is the easiest choice for school runs, work, travel and the gym.
Best summer hijab: modal
Modal lets air through and feels light on the head. The crinkle finish never needs ironing, which makes it a favourite for travel and long hot days.
Best occasion hijab: satin and shimmer
Satin has a soft sheen and organza shimmer a quiet sparkle. Both look beautiful at Eid, Nikahs and weddings; wear them over a tie cap.
Best colour to start with
Black, almond, beige and navy go with most abayas and outfits. The Shade Studio shows every colour side by side in every fabric, so you can see the real shade before you order.
