Islam Question and Answer - Does women?s hijab have to be black? (http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/39570/conditions%20of%20hijab)
http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/6991

Please read the links for a detailed answer.

Edit:
As long as your form of dress meets the conditions of hijab mentioned above it will be all right.

I would just like to add that in a hot humid climate, it is easier to wear loose clothing than tight fitting ones.
Personally the tight fitting clothes are uncomfortable when it is hot and/or humid.


May Allah reward you for your struggle to follow the Islamic form of dress.
