Haute Hijab's New Sustainable Sport Line 2020
"Can't Ban Us": Haute Hijab's Striking New Sports Line Is Making a Statement

For Abdul-Qaadir, the biggest factor is comfort: when she plays basketball, her hijab can't be too tight or too loose, especially if it's moving around while during a game. "You don't want to have to fidget, especially in the game of basketball," she said. "If you have a hand on your head trying to pull the hijab back, then you might miss a catch, you might miss a shot, you might miss a steal." Abdul-Qaadir liked Haute Hijab's design for the comfortable and fidget-free fit, and said it passed another test as well: it looked great.
"I'm not really a fashionista," she laughed. "As a baller, you step on the court and you're just ready to ball. But the fact that I actually looked good in it, that excited me." Her personal favourite style: the Criss-Cross. "I felt fierce. I felt comfortable. It just made me look good."
