!Description
| A type of outer garment from the Persian Gulf region of the Middle East which covers from the head to the feet. It is also becoming increasingly common amongst the conservative women of Pakistan and Turkey. Traditional abayas are black, and may be either a large square of fabric draped from the shoulders or head, or a long black [[caftan]]. The Abaya in the Persian Gulf has increasingly become more of a fashion statement than a mandatory dress-code. Women can often be seen wearing a colorfully designed Abaya, sometimes with the headscarf draped on the shoulders rather than the head. International fashion designers like Galliano, Nina Ricci, and Tom Ford have created Abaya designs for the Gulf market.

This table of types of hijab describes terminologically distinguished styles of clothing commonly associated with the word hijab.

The Arabic word hijāb can be translated as "cover, wrap, curtain, veil, screen, partition", among other meanings.[1] In the Quran it refers to notions of separation, protection and covering in both literal and metaphorical senses.[2] Subsequently, the word has evolved in meaning and now usually denotes a Muslim woman's veil.[2] In English, the term refers predominantly to the head covering for women and its underlying religious precepts.[3][4] Not all Muslims believe the hijab is mandated in Islam.[5][6][7]
