I have looked at different countries style and yes there are different styles in different cultures. The nice thing about the United States, is just like the American gene pool the Hijabs styles come from all other the world. So you can get away with wear a more variety of styles.
When I am in the US I wear the style of hijab that is one or two piece that you just pull over your head and don't have to worry about pinning.
Although, if I am in Kuwait this is not in style. In fact, people their will sometime predetermine where you are from from the style of Hijab you wear. My husband’s family being Kuwaiti themselves encourage me to wear a hijab that are about approx. 22 in(56 cm) x 64 in(163 cm) that is more of an elongated rectangle. So I wear this style of hijab there so that I don't stand out as much as a foreigner (and with my abyah and not talking I do a pretty good job-I don’t speak Arabic very well). I have the style Hijabs I wear in Kuwait in stock, but I haven't gotten a chance to take picture of then and put them in the store. Also the women in my husband family wear a niqab when they are away from home. I, myself don’t wear a niqab unless I am wearing makeup outside the house, for example, I go to the salon and the woman their do my makeup and I wear it in front of my husband.(That is hard to find in the US.)
Note that both when I am in US and Kuwait, I wear a black hijab, although when I am in the US I do also wear tan, white and off-white.
My point is that even though you may wear a none bright color hijab, there is still different types. I think that the one- and two- piece hijabs that I sell right now are easier for women that are not use to wearing hijabs. That is why I started selling them first, because they were my favorite. But I also understand that, that is not everyone’s favorite so I am expanding my selection to include, different types of hijabs. In addition I am going to start selling Black Niqabs, Gloves, long one piece hijabs that are popular for praying, and more.
I myself am interested in hearing about other style of hijabs that I have not listed. Please text message me if you have any questions and also please check out my store…
