khimar
Muslim woman's covering
A khimar is a headscarf worn by some Muslim women that covers the hair, neck, and shoulders while leaving the face visible.
It typically drapes down over the chest, distinguishing it from shorter headscarves.
The term comes from Arabic and appears in Quranic passages about modest dress: She wore a black khimar over her blouse.
