Georgette, jersey or modal: which hijab fabric is right for you?

Grip, drape and comfort in the heat, compared side by side, so you can choose in a minute.

Georgette, jersey or modal: which hijab fabric is right for you?

Most women in the UAE own a mix of hijab fabrics, but each one does a different job. Here is the quick way to choose.

Georgette hijab: for every day

Georgette has a soft, grainy feel that grips well, so it holds a shape and does not slip off the cap. It drapes beautifully as a shayla and comes in the widest range of shades.

Jersey hijab: no pins, no slipping

Jersey stretches, so it wraps close to the head and stays in place on its own. It is the most practical choice for work, sport and busy days.

Modal hijab: for the summer

Modal cotton is soft and breathable, and the crinkled texture means it never looks creased. It is the coolest choice for a UAE summer.

Not sure? Start with georgette for every day, then add a jersey for busy days.
