BEGINNERS GUIDE TO MODEST FASHION

By Nadeera Khalid

 

Have you ever thought of changing your style to modest fashion and had wrinkled your forehead thinking on what modest fashion really is? Well, No more worries. We have put together a beginners guide to modest fashion which will solve all your queries.

Awareness about modest fashion has been rapidly spreading all over the world. Not that it is new, but now is on everyone´s radar. The way of dressing yourself with lack of skin exposure and without losing an inch in style is termed as Modest Fashion. Modest fashion is more than loose-fitting garments which make you feel comfortable all day long. I have been modest from my life so this is my beginners guide for you to look modest.

HOW CAN YOU LOOK MODEST?

Dressing modestly doesn’t mean that you have to look boring. Actually, quite the opposite. Today there are plenty of ways for you to look smart and gorgeous without exposing too much your skin to the people around. Moreover, as a beginner, you are blessed with a variety of brands that have raised up modest fashion as a mainstream. Let’s look for some amazing ideas which can guide you to dress modestly.

Maxi dress

Have you ever tried a maxi dress? If not, try them once. Maxi dresses are fantastic and one of the many possible ways for you to start dressing in a modest way. The prints, cuts, colors, fabric may vary depending on the trends you’re in or your silhouette.  Depending on the dress, if you wear only a maxi dress, it might be perceived as informal but try combining it with a jacket. Instant transformation! Now you are good to go to the office, meetings, and interviews.

Palazzo Pants

Palazzo pants are one of my favorite. Trust me the level of comfort you get with these pants is amazing. It is loose and the length can vary from ankle to floor length. Try pairing your turtle neck top or a jacket with your Palazzo pants. The look will be perfect for you to go and enjoy the day. Add to the equation some platform flat brogues and you will be praised for your style.

Abaya

Do you own an abaya? If the answer is no, we suggest you go rush and get one. Abayas are not just a plain black dress that we wear. There is so much comfort and style and they are really easy to accessorize. For example, look smart and strong with an abaya by layering it with a jacket or a long cardigan of the color of your choice. You are now completely ready to attend any conference, interview or meeting out there. Don’t forget to add some jewelry like these ones from Goshopia.com.  It will raise the eyebrows of the peeps out there and you will look Oh! so pretty!

Jumpsuits

Early in the morning have you ever felt lazy to select the clothing for the day? I think we all have been there! Here you go, we have a good solution. The all-in-one ready to wear jumpsuit is perfect for your day. Jumpsuits are completely user-friendly when you have to be physically active at times. Style them with some killer handbag or if going to the office, with one of these laptop bags.

Turbans/Hijabs

Covering your hair with a piece of cloth is interesting and smart looking. There are many ways you can add volume or play with the shapes. Go for the ready-made turbans or experiment with hijabs by wrapping them in different ways. It will complete any given modest fashion look. Check these gorgeous handmade turbans from Vera Sukhinina. The transformer turban is so much fun!

You will find a galore of modest wears in bright eye-catchy colors and material…. Now if you are looking for variety in materials you will explore it in silk, satin crepe, cotton, and chiffon.
