25 Pickleball Outfits for Women in Hijab

Max Kuch

Last updated: August 27, 2026

Pickleball is a much better sport to play in hijab than most racket sports, and the reason is the court. It is small, the rallies are short, and there are very few overheads, so a scarf that would shift constantly on a tennis court stays where you put it.

That said, indoor halls run hot with no airflow at all, so the fabric of the hijab matters more than anything else. A lightweight sports hijab over an undercap, a top long enough to cover the hip through lateral movement, and full length leggings covers the whole problem. The modest list is the version without a headscarf, and the tennis edit the tennis equivalent.

A breathable sports hijab is the difference between an enjoyable indoor session and a hot one. Our guide to the best sports apparel covers what else helps.
