What Is Modest Fashion?

The term modest fashion refers to a way of dressing that prioritises coverage and less skin-revealing garments. The choice behind adopting this concept might be based on religion, culture, or individual preferences, but it isn’t restricted to one specific look, leaving room to express personal style while feeling comfortable.

Style Tips For Modest Outfits

Coverage-This will feature clothing with longer hemlines, sleeves that cover the arms and higher necklines.

Silhouette-Many people might not be comfortable wearing body-hugging garments, so skip these pieces and lean towards a looser fit.

Layering: This is the perfect method to make your outfits more modest. Layer a roll-neck jumper under a waistcoat, or wear an oversized blazer over a maxi dress, do whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Individuality-Modest doesn’t mean boring, and you can adapt any outfit to reflect a personal style that aligns with your values.  

Key Pieces To Create Modest Autumn Outfits

Maxi Skirts-These are great to dress up with a blazer and heels, or dress down with a cosy knit jumper and chunky boots.

Roll-Neck Jumpers-Ideal to layer under short-sleeve garments if you don’t want to show your arms. Ribbed neutral colours are a great investment, but also experiment with some patterns to add a unique touch. 

Long Coats-These look chic while providing coverage and warmth; a trench coat or a wool coat in a neutral colour, such as tan or black, is a great choice. 

Plain T-Shirts-A white or black tee will never go out of style, and is a versatile basic to style in multiple ways. 

An Oversized Blazer-This piece is an essential for any capsule wardrobe that elevates every outfit, and works just as well for the office as it does for a night out.
