25 Tennis Outfits for Women in Hijab

Max Kuch

Last updated: August 27, 2026

The practical problem with playing tennis in hijab is not the clothing, it is the movement. A scarf that sits fine while walking will shift on a serve and on every overhead after it, and spending a match adjusting it is the fastest way to stop enjoying the game.

The fix is a sports specific hijab in a fabric with some grip, worn over an undercap rather than pinned. After that it is the same as any modest kit: full length leggings, a skirt or dress with real length, and a top that covers the hip. Breathability matters more at the head than anywhere else, because that is where heat leaves. The modest list covers the version without a headscarf, and the pickleball edit the equivalent in a different sport.

A sports hijab is the one purchase that changes the game rather than the outfit. Our guide to the best sports apparel covers what else is worth having.
