Shayla

Short description: Headgear worn by some women of Islamic culture

Shayla (Arabic: شيلة) is an Islamic headgear worn by some Muslim women in the presence of any male outside of their immediate family. It is different from a khimar, because it is usually wrapped and pinned. Sometimes it is worn in the form of a half niqab with part of the face still appearing.[1]

It is traditionally worn by some women in Saudi Arabia and other Arab states of the Persian Gulf.[2]
