This list of types of sartorial hijab indexes styles of clothing found in predominantly Muslim societies commonly associated with the word hijab.
Women
Men
Igal | A part of the headdress for men. Often they are made of a black rope-like cord. They are worn atop the head to help keep the ghutra secured. | |

Bisht | A loose robe worn over a thawb. | |
Iḥrām | The name typically used to denote the clothing worn by a pilgrim during either the Hajj or Umra. For a male, the first part is the izar, a piece of cloth wrapped around to cover from the ankles to the abdomen. The second piece, called the reda, is draped over the shoulders to cover the upper body. The cloth is to be plain, white and unsown. For women, typical and unpretentious clothes will be their iḥrām.[1] | |
Kuffiyya, Ghutra or Shmagh | A checkered scarf often tied with igal. Can be styled into a turban or worn loosely over the head. | |
Kufī | A knitted cap that covers most of the head. | |
Salwār qamīz | See salwār qamīz in the women's dress section. | A long shirt (qamīz) worn with trousers (salwār); it is typical of men from the sub-continent. |
Taqiyya | A round, sewn cotton cap. It is often embellished with embroidery. | |
Thawb | Or "thobe", is a long, robe-like garment. Often they are white, symbolizing purity and light. | |
Turban | Denotes a special style of wrapping cloth around the head. Turbans are wrapped in varying styles, and often an undercap is worn. | |
