Every TudungPeople tudung is rated on a 5-level opacity scale, from Level 1 (totally see-through) to Level 5 (totally opaque). The level tells you how much the fabric shows through, and whether you need an inner or a double layer to cover your neck. You can find the level of any tudung on its product page, under Opacity.
1. The 5 Opacity Levels
- Level 1: Totally see-through that needs an inner to cover the neck.
- Level 2: See-through that might need an inner to cover the neck depending on the colour.
- Level 3: Semi see-through that needs a double layer to cover the neck.
- Level 4: Almost opaque and does not need a double layer to cover the neck.
- Level 5: Totally opaque.
2. Inner, Double Layer or Single Layer
- Inner: wear an inner under the tudung to cover the neck. Needed for Level 1, and for some colours at Level 2.
- Double layer: style the tudung so the fabric crosses over itself at the neck. Needed for Level 3.
- Single layer: Level 4 and Level 5 cover the neck on their own.
3. Examples From Our Range

4. Frequently Asked Questions
Which opacity level should I choose?
If you prefer to wear a tudung without an inner or a double layer, choose Level 4 or Level 5. If you are happy to layer, Level 1 to Level 3 give you lighter, airier fabrics.
Where do I find the opacity level of a tudung?
On each product page, open the Opacity section. It shows the level on the 5-level scale and what that level means.
Does colour change how see-through a tudung is?
It can. That is why Level 2 says an inner might be needed depending on the colour.
