Both Muslim men and women are required to observe modest behavior (haya) and modest Islamic clothing known as hijab. Although larger Muslim communities in the West may have local Islamic clothing stores, many Muslims turn to online shopping to buy traditional dress such as abayas, jilbabs, caftans, dishdashes and headscarves, as well as other Muslim clothes for men, women and children.
Some websites also offer modest Western women`s fashions including long skirts, long tops, long jackets and wide-legged pants. Many offer international and express shipping.
