Gym-going hijabis now have more headscarf options to choose from, thanks to Lululemon’s latest launch. Aiming to be more inclusive, the athletic apparel and footwear brand has introduced a line of workout hijabs, featuring three unique styles, and a couple of colorways.

Lululemon stated that it consulted “hijab wearers across the brand’s global collective” for its debut headscarf range that offers “adjustable fits and distraction-free features to support guests during their activities of choice and as they move throughout their day.” The highlight of the workout hijabs is their lightweight, quick-drying, four-way stretch, and sweat-wicking fabric.

Launching this month are two styles, the Lightweight Performance Hijab and the Scarf-Style Hijab. The former comes in the colors black and poolside blue with S/M and M/L sizes. Its pinless and pull-on style features an adjustable toggle at the back to hold the wearer’s bun or ponytail in place while ensuring a snug fit for running and intense workouts. As the name suggests, the Scarf-Style hijab—in shades of black and maroon and a standard size—offers versatility in the ways it can be worn and is more suited to low-intensity workouts and walks. The third, OTM Pull-on Hijab is set to launch later this year, and will have an easy over-the-head style and can be worn wrapped around the shoulders or tucked into the front of the shirt.

With this new range, Lululemon joins other sportswear brands that have previously launched workout hijabs and modest swimsuits, including Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour. The year 2020 also saw New York-based modest accessories brand Haute Hijab introduce a sustainable sports line.
