Did Mary wear a Hijab?

Muslims also like to justify their position on women wearing a veil by claiming that Mary wore a hijab.  Is this really true?  We actually do not have any verses on what Mary wore.
Even if we did, that would not translate into a mandate for us 20 centuries later in a different culture and different climate, where people have the ability to turn on air conditioning, heating, and so forth.

But the fact that there is no verse that says what Mary wore shows her wardrobe is not that important.

  2. One difference was that a Jewish women at the time wore a longer, ankle-length tunic. Also, her head was wrapped in a veil that had ends extending to the floor.she added a face veil whenever outside her home. The only time she let her hair show in public was on or after her wedding day....
