Sartorial hijab is a phrase used to denote garments (typically female) associated with the 'modest' dress of Muslims. It is merely one aspect of hijab that every Muslim is called to have.
The below are a list of styles found in predominantly Muslim societies and commonly associated with the word 'hijab'.
It can be very difficult to find clothing that suits a Muslim woman's modest code of dress. One place for help with that is Precious Modesty wherein the Muslimah provides links to trendy modest clothing online.

Iḥrām | no image | 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 unsewn. For women, typical and unpretentious clothes will be their iḥrām.[3] |
