Hijab fabric guide

Not sure which fabric to choose? Here is a simple comparison of the hijab fabrics we carry, so you can pick the right one for your day.

Georgette: the everyday favourite

A Malaysian heavy chiffon that is opaque, matte and non-slip. Choose it if you want one hijab that works for everything.

Bamboo jersey stretches and stays put. Choose it for busy days, travel and sport.

Light and breathable, plain or pre-crinkled. Choose it for the hottest months.

Delicate with a soft drape. Wear it over a cap for gatherings and evenings.

Satin brings a soft sheen and organza shimmer a quiet sparkle. Wear both over a cap for Eid, weddings and dinners.

Which hijab fabric does not slip?

Georgette and jersey grip best. Smooth fabrics like satin need a cap underneath.

Which fabric is coolest in the heat?

Modal, followed by jersey.

Which fabric is opaque?

Georgette and jersey are opaque; chiffon and organza shimmer are lighter and best over a cap.

Which fabric is best for beginners?
