{{short description|Headgear worn by some women of Islamic culture}}
{{
{{Islamic female dress}}'''Shayla''' ({{lang-ar|شيلة}}) is an Islamic headgear worn by some Muslim women in the presence of any male outside of their immediate family. It is different from a [[khimar]], because it is usually wrapped and pinned. Sometimes it is worn in the form of a half [[niqab]] with part of the face still appearing.<ref>The Art of Arabian Costume: A Saudi Arabian Profile .

== Cultural significance ==
It's often worn by Indo-Pakistani women. Many of them don't wear it because of the [[Islam|Islamic]] obligation of women to wear a headscarf, but as a cultural symbol. The shayla has a lot of meaning to the [[Pashtuns]] especially.
