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 which is an all encompassing "modesty" that every Muslim is called to have.

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] |
