If they wish to, they can cover these parts too. Some scholars of Islam insist that the face and hands are parts of the obligatory extent of hijab.
All the remaining 5 criteria are same for men and women.
2) The clothes should be loose and not reveal the figure.

Complete Hijaab besides the 6 criteria of clothing also includes the moral conduct, behavior, attitude and intentions of the individual. A person only fulfilling the criteria of the Hijaab of clothes is observing Hijaab in a limited sense.
Hijaab of the clothes should be accompanied by the Hijaab of the eyes, heart, thought and of intention. It also includes the way a person walks, talks and behaves.
It's for both MEN and WOMEN
There is no double standard in Islam.
