Which fabric makes the best shayla?

Georgette gives a matte, opaque shayla that holds its shape and does not slip, so it is the safest choice for every day. Chiffon is lighter and floatier, satin has a soft sheen, and organza shimmer adds a quiet sparkle for Eid and weddings; wear sheer fabrics over a cap.

Black shayla and abaya pairings

A black shayla with a black abaya is the timeless Emirati look. For contrast, try ivory, beige or nude shaylas with dark abayas, or navy and wine with lighter ones.

Wear it with a cap

A tie cap or hijab cap underneath keeps your shayla in place all day and hides your hair under sheer fabrics. Pins finish the wrap neatly at the shoulder.

Frequently asked questions

Is it shayla, shaila or sheila?

All three spellings mean the same Gulf-style rectangular scarf; we write it Shayla. In Arabic it is شيلة.

How do I wear a shayla?

Place it over a cap with one side longer, wrap the long side around your head and pin it at the opposite shoulder. Our step-by-step guide shows three easy styles.

Which shayla does not slip?

Georgette shaylas are matte and grip well. Wearing a tie cap underneath also stops any shayla from sliding.

What colour shayla goes with a black abaya?

Black is classic. Ivory, beige, nude, navy and wine also look elegant with a black abaya.
