Amin Ahsan Islahi Tafseer
Consider next the words “and they should draw their coverings over their chest and necklines.” The Arabic word khimār means a shawl or covering. One thing which becomes evident from this is that a covering is an essential part of a woman’s dress. The second thing which is evident from this is that in the presence of a non-maḥram, it is essential that women hide their chests and necklines besides their heads and backs. Readers may well reflect on this directive on the one hand and on the glamorous women of our times. They have discarded these coverings regarding them to be relics of the old-fashioned past and brazenly display their chests.
I found this wording in Islahi Tafseer of Surah Nur Ayat 31 could @Irfan76 explain?
