Modest fashion is a beautiful, elegant and empowering style that really takes stylish individuals to pull off. It’s all about proportions and sharing your personal expression without exposing yourself in specific areas. It’s a great way to piece together some fabulous looks and stand out in the current fashion trends where it seems exposure in certain areas is deemed fashionable but that definitely isn’t always the case.
I find modest fashion has the power to overthrow so many looks, especially if you are standing next to each other. Whether you are a woman wearing a black abaya for religious reasons or you are a woman who just prefers to dress modestly, there are so many options, and new and upcoming brands are coming out with more versatile and stunning options.
Modest Easy Outfits
Dresses
Look for dresses that touch the floor or even mid-thigh with long or cap sleeves. With modest dresses, you want to make sure that they fit you perfectly to remove any potential of the dress eating you up or removing your focus. As you are wearing the clothes and not the other way around.
Suits
Pantsuits or a skirt are a flawless option for formal occasions. A perfectly tailored suit can be used for many occasions and as they are undoubtedly timeless, you can never go wrong with it when it comes to styling; it is essentially already done for you; you just need to accessorise.
Jumpsuits
Another modest option that is both freeing, comfortable and readily styled only needs some accessories to go alongside. Jumpsuits can be worn on multiple occasions again, whether it be a brunch or a wedding after-party. There is little that can go wrong with this option.
Modest Fashion Tips
Tailored To You
When it comes to modest fashion, no matter if it’s a maxi dress, suit pants or a cashmere sweater, you want to ensure that it’s a perfect fit; otherwise, it will just swallow you up and not give off the correct vibe that it’s supposed to. Make the effort to either tailor your own clothes or invest in getting to know a local seamstress to do this for you.
Layering
Especially during the winter months, aim to master the art of layering, as this is a very key component of modest fashion. Once you understand your proportions and mess around with the structure of your clothes with pins, belts and so forth, you can create so many versatile outfits with the same pieces.
Accessories
For both formal and casual attire, accessorising is forever important when it comes to modest fashion. It’s an opportunity to add something bold like large gold earrings, chunky necklaces and a designer bag to break up the outfits. So make sure you build your collection and have a play around with your pieces.
Choose Quality Over Quantity
When it comes to modest fashion, the whole focus is your outfit. That is why things like getting the fit perfectly and, of course, quality are very important. You want to ensure that all of your modest pieces scream quality. This doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune; it’s just knowing how to be thrifty but keep in mind that spending a little more now will save you more in the future rebuying things due to a lack of quality.
