anouchka/iStock(NEW YORK) — Banana Republic is now offering a selection of hijabs, and while some people are excited about the new launch, others aren’t so sure.
The headscarves are sold exclusively on the brand’s website, and are available in different colors and styles.
The American retailer made headlines for making strides toward having more inclusive clothing items for sale.
However, some people were quick to notice model Fatuma Yusuf in one of the brand images wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and in another, a dress with side-slits which many are claiming doesn’t fall in line with traditional modest Muslim clothing.
“How is Banana Republic gonna release a hijab line and have a model wearing a hijab with a half sleeve shirt?” one social media user, @momnerzzz wrote on Twitter.
