Quick answer: Start with five hijabs: black, a light neutral such as beige, a mid neutral such as khaki or gray, one soft colour you love and one deep colour such as navy or maroon. Those five cover work, weekends and special occasions. Add seasonal colours from there.
A small, well-chosen collection makes getting dressed faster and wastes less money on shades you rarely wear.
The core five
- Black: the most versatile shade for work, evenings and formal events.
- Beige: a soft light neutral that works on hot days and with prints.
- Khaki or Gray: an easy mid neutral for everyday outfits.
- One soft colour: Dusty Rose, Bean Green or Sky Blue for a little personality.
- One deep colour: Navy Blue or Maroon for occasions and cooler air-conditioned days.
Five well-chosen hijabs cover almost every day of the week.
Growing your collection by season
Once you have the core five, add colours a few at a time. Our range is grouped into five seasonal collections to make this easy:
- Neutrals: Black, Khaki, Beige, Navy Blue
- Spring: Peach Blush, Bean Green, Denim Blue, Pale Mint
- Summer: Peach, Light Purple, Sky Blue, Mint Blue
- Autumn: Olive Green, Brown, Maroon, Dusty Rose
- Winter: Dark Cyan, Dark Green, Mauve Gray, Gray
What to look for in an everyday hijab
- Opacity: full coverage without needing extra layers.
- Size: a long shawl, around 180 x 75 cm, gives enough length for many styles.
- Easy care: machine-washable and low-crease saves time.
- Comfort: lightweight fabric with a little stretch for all-day wear in Singapore’s heat.
