Top Tips For Choosing An Autumn Hijab

In the UK it feels as though autumn is on the way, which means you might be intending to put your summer hijabs away for the coming months and instead switch into hijabs that will work best in the cooler months. 

This is also a good time of year to lean into an autumnal colour palette with your hijab choice – think deep reds and oranges, golds and mustard yellows. 

Brown hijabs can also look stunning at this time of year depending on the rest of your outfit. What’s more, brown is a very popular colour on catwalks this season, so you’ll be on trend if you include this in your outfit.

You don’t have to stick to a solid colour – ombre hijabs that transition from dark to lighter shades look stunning and can be a brilliant way to embrace the transitional nature of the autumn season. 

Perhaps more important than the colour of your hijab is the material it’s made from though. The following are some good options for the autumn, especially with the notoriously changeable British weather. 

Jersey hijabs

Hijabs made from a jersey fabric are likely to be one of your go-to options in the autumn in the UK, because they keep you warm without being overly heavy. What’s more, jersey has moisture-wicking properties which means if the weather does get warmer while you’re out, it will help to keep you comfortable. 

Jersey hijabs are also a good option if you’re looking for something for everyday wear. They tend to be a single colour, allowing you to match it with your outfit in such a way that you can wear your hijab from the day into the evening if you wish. 

Thicker cotton hijabs

While light cotton hijabs are comfortable in the summer months, as we move into colder weather, a heavier cotton fabric is perfect for added warmth. It’s a great all-round fabric, so it’s certainly worth having one or two cotton hijabs in your wardrobe. 

In fact, cotton is one of the most popular fabrics the world over, with 40 per cent of the world’s population stating that they would prefer to wear clothes made from this material rather than an alternative. 

Silk hijabs

Silk is a good hijab material choice for autumn and then winter because it will keep you warmer while also looking incredibly stylish. Silk or silk-blend fabrics are renowned for providing an excellent drape, which makes hijabs made from this material popular.

Glossy silk hijabs will add a touch of understated elegance to any autumn outfit, while our ombre silk hijabs are especially striking. For this time of year, the sunset ombre hijab, which shifts from brown, to red, to pale orange or the desert dusk colourway are perfect options.

The latter combines warm orange-red tones, with golden-beige and a darker brown to create a striking look. These are just some of the many coloured hijabs we offer that are fantastic additions to any autumn wardrobe. 

Some of our patterned and printed hijabs are also available in autumnal colorways. These hijabs are particularly striking when worn to accompany a relatively plain dress. Hijabs with a glossy quality in paler colours stand out brilliantly against a black dress, for instance.
