To get this look you’ll need an underscarf/cap and a lightweight sheila, preferably silk chiffon because it’s easy to play with.
According to Fabrics.net lightweight chiffon is ”A sheer, flat-crepe textured silk with a dull, soft finish. Often seen in overlays for evening gowns. Excellent for shawls or scarves where a floaty look is desired.”
Match your hijab fashion by wearing the same color underscarf and sheila. Or wear different colors for your underscarf and sheila, but make sure one of them goes with something you’re wearing.
The point of this style is to drape it loosely so it looks soft and elegant. Don’t get too caught up in trying to make it sit perfectly.
Sheila’s with sequined borders add a nice dramatic flair to the look and can dress up any outfit in an instant.

my only problem with this is that the way i see girls wear it here you can sometimes see their ears.. or at least a part of their face you wouldnt normally see wearing a skin tight hijab. Allahu alim
It’s a tricky style and will take some improvising to perfect it.

Hope it helps
dear ameena…… you can wear a very light-weight amira so that your face is more covered (if you are concern about that) and then wear the shayla like these kuwaitis over it
just a thought
This is the only way I wear hijab, but I am baised since my husband is Kuwaiti. I love this style! The more modest way to wear this style is to wear a one piece (kinda like the amira). These cover the neck and ears. This is what I do because I am very picky about not showing skin
