Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

Merely covering the body is not sufficient to fulfil the requirements of Hijaab. The purpose of Hijaab is also to conceal the form and shape of the body and to avoid the lustful glances of males which may be caused by the attractive colours of the Shalwar and Kamees.
