Activewear can be hard to find for anyone, but for Muslim women who prioritize modesty, it can be an ordeal. 

Workout clothes that provide modest coverage and that actually function, are trendy, and provide sufficient coverage can become few and far between. Here's the good news: that's precisely where Wommo enters the picture.

Wommo is a brand designed for women who want to live life fearlessly—training, hiking, exploring the outdoors—without compromising their values. 

For women seeking sensibly designed Muslim workout clothes, Wommo offers options that are light, breathable, sweat-friendly, and, above all, modest.

Here, we're highlighting seven of Wommo's best and highest-performing pieces that are the building blocks of a great, functional, modest activewear wardrobe. 

Whether joggers and hoodies or longline tunics, each piece combines coverage and technical design, so you can move, stretch, and discover without restriction.

A Brief History of Islamic Workout Clothes

Historically, Muslim women often had to improvise workout attire by layering traditional clothing. This limited movement, overheated the body, and discouraged participation in sports. 

It wasn’t until the 21st century that brands began offering intentional Muslim sportswear and Islamic workout clothes, making fitness more accessible.

A turning point came in 2016 when Nike launched the Nike Pro Hijab, acknowledging the demand for high-performance halal gym clothes. 

Since then, independent brands like Wommo have gone further, designing inclusive collections tailored for women who need Muslim gym clothes that balance modesty and motion.

1. Virtue Lightweight Pullover Hoodie – Modest, Breathable, and Easy to Style

For subtle layering while exercising, not many pieces strike the balance between comfort, coverage, and performance as effectively as the Virtue Lightweight Pullover Hoodie. 

The longline hoodie is perfect for Muslim women who prefer looser, more modest silhouettes but are not willing to compromise on breathability or mobility.

Made of lightweight, quick-drying fabric, it allows air to flow through without clinging to the body. 

The hip-covering length ensures you're never adjusting mid-stride, and its streamlined silhouette guarantees it looks just as great with joggers at the gym as with wide-leg pants for a post-workout coffee.

Perfect for: Indoor walking around, warm-up, or layering up for cold days at the gym.

2. Virtue Lightweight Joggers – The Perfect Balance of Comfort and Coverage

For an activity-friendly activewear bottom that has the same feel as your comfiest loungewear but is designed for activity, look for the Virtue Lightweight Joggers. 

The joggers provide a loose, tapered fit so that you have space to move unrestrictedly without being too tight or restrictive.

They have a high-rise waistband to give the support that is required for bending, stretching, or lifting, but the material is still light and breathable even for high-impact activity. 

Paired with the Virtue hoodie as a set, they make up a modest gym outfit that is both fashionable and functional.

Perfect for: HIIT classes, strength training, power walks, and travel.

3. Ribbed Hoodie – A Textured Favourite for Comfortable Modest Layering

If what you're looking for is a low-key hoodie with a soft, raised, textural look, then the Ribbed Hoodie is the way to go. Not only does ribbing visually texture the garment, but it also creates a silhouette that is slimming without clinging too closely to the body.

With its relaxed fit, comfortable material, and longer cut that offers complete hip and backside coverage, this hoodie is a great choice for Muslim women looking to be stylish without sacrificing modesty and warmth. 

It's also a great transitional piece for chilly morning hours or for a trip to the gym.

Perfect for: Pre and post-gym attire, outdoor yoga, and subtle athleisure wear.

4. Ribbed Pants – Modest Movement Made Effortless

Pair the Ribbed Hoodie with the Ribbed Pants for a complete look. These full-coverage wide-leg pants have a full range of motion. The ribbed detail gives the look a boost, so it doesn't look quite so loungy and instead looks more structured and wearable for active and daily use.

What qualifies them as ideal for little workouts is their spacious, breathable cut and supple feel, which is pleasant when stretching, warming up, and doing low-intensity workouts. 

They are also ideal for lounging or doing errands post-workout.

Perfect for: Recovery days, mat work, walking, and low-impact exercises.

5. Do-It-All Hoodie and Joggers – Multi-Purpose Modest Activewear

While not individually highlighted at the time, Wommo's "Do-It-All" set is a favorite for its combination of subtle style and everyday functionality. 

As the name suggests, these pieces are designed to do it all—gym sessions to weekend hikes, travel days, and everything in between.

Designed with function, durability, and comfort in mind, this coordinating set provides a full-coverage silhouette that isn't bulky or constricting. They provide freedom of movement while keeping you covered and comfortable all day long.

Perfect for: Everyday wear, hiking, long walks, multi-purpose travel clothing, and gym trips.

6. Quest Longline Tunic Top – Sleek, Structured, and Built for Performance

A longline tunic is one of those essentials in any small workout wardrobe, and the Wommo Quest Longline Tunic Top is designed with exactly that in mind. 

Created to fall mid-thigh and constructed from a technical, breathable material, it's perfect for the gym or to wear layered over leggings.

The side slits allow for flexibility, and the smooth fabric ensures it won't ride or bunch during a workout. If you're looking for a tunic that works like a workhorse but looks like it's not even trying, this one ticks all the boxes.

Perfect for: Weight training, gym sessions, running errands post-workout.

7. Safari Cargo Pants – Modest Activewear for the Outdoors and Beyond

Originally intended for adventure wear, the Safari Cargo Pants lend themselves just as well to indoor and outdoor workout routines. 

Their loose fit, multiple pockets, and durable build render them a great addition to any low-key gym gear, especially for women who prefer to keep active beyond the traditional gym.

These pants feature an elastic waistband and enough room in the legs to fit all types of activities, be it hiking, stair climbing, or stretching. They also work well at light layering in between seasons.

Perfect for: All-day wear, outdoor fitness, mobility training, and fashion function.

Why Muslim Workout Clothes Empower Women Beyond the Gym

For Muslim women, choosing the right activewear is about more than exercise – it’s about identity, comfort, and confidence. Ill-fitting or non-modest gym clothing can lead to self-consciousness, distractions, and even avoidance of physical activity. 

Studies have shown that women who feel comfortable and confident in their clothing are more likely to stick to an exercise routine and enjoy its psychological benefits.

That’s why purpose-designed Muslim workout clothes are transformative. Unlike oversized t-shirts or makeshift layers, modern Muslim activewear is created to align with faith and function. 

Breathable fabrics, longline silhouettes, and secure workout hijabs ensure women can train without compromise.

Why Choosing Modest Gym Outfits Matters

To most Muslim women, it might seem like an impossible trade to possess activewear that is both stylistically in line with their values and considerate of the physical nature of working out.

Typical workout attire is form-fitting, short, or skimpy, few of which are suitable for a woman who dresses modestly. 

But modesty does not have to be about sacrificing style or performance. Brands such as Wommo are pioneering Muslim workout clothing that combines the best of both worlds. 

With designs that are tailor-made for coverage, comfort, and activity, Wommo provides practical solutions to real wardrobe problems. 

These designs transcend fashion. They enable women to arrive—whether that is at a yoga studio, on a trail, or in their own living room workout space—feeling confident, supported, and truly like themselves.

Fit & Care Guide for Muslim Workout Clothes

How to Find the Right Fit

• Prioritise coverage with movement: The best Muslim workout clothes should give you modesty while allowing full range of motion. Look for longline tunics, extended sleeves, and high-rise joggers that don’t ride up when you stretch or run.
  
• Check the cut, not just the size: Many Islamic workout clothes use relaxed silhouettes. Make sure the shoulders, waist, and inseams align with your body shape so the clothes stay comfortable during training.
  
• Think activity-specific: For cardio or outdoor running, choose lightweight Muslim sportswear. For yoga or low-impact exercise, ribbed pants or looser cuts in Muslim activewear work better.
  

How to Care for Your Muslim Gym Clothes

• Wash in cold water: Technical fabrics used in halal gym clothes and Muslim activewear are sweat-wicking and breathable, but hot water can damage their fibres.
  
• Avoid fabric softeners: They coat fibres and reduce breathability, which is crucial for Muslim sportswear.
  
• Air dry instead of tumble drying: This keeps the fabric strong and prevents shrinkage, especially important for longline tunics or modest hoodies.
  
• Rotate your outfits: Owning more than one set of Muslim gym clothes extends the life of each piece and ensures you always have fresh, dry gear ready for your next session.
  

Wommo’s clothing comes with its own care guide to help you increase the longevity of your gym wear.

With the right fit and proper care, your Muslim workout clothes will last longer, perform better, and support you through every workout – from high-intensity training to mindful yoga.

FAQs About Muslim Workout Clothes
