How to Dress Modestly?
09 Aug 2024
If you've recently decided to start dressing more modestly, you may feel a bit distracted at first, not knowing how to dress to look fashionable as well. Contrary to popular perception, "modest" and "fashionable" are not mutually exclusive. Decide what standards of modesty you want to adhere to and find on-trend pieces that will meet those standards. Add some layers on top to look more modest and accessorize with the right accessories that will add flavor to your look.
Define the rules of modesty
1. The neckline of a dress should be no lower than four fingers from the collarbone. Anything lower will show off your cleavage.
2. Avoid thin materials and fabrics that will hug your body, such as spandex. Such fabrics are considered too revealing and others may see your bra through such fabric .
3. Draw attention to your face rather than your breasts. Let the jewelry be on your collar, not on your breasts.
4. Your back should be covered. Avoid things with a fully or partially exposed back.
5. Cover your shoulders. Try to wear tops that will cover your shoulders.
6. Check the buttons on your shirt. Make sure there are no gaps between the buttons that will show off your skin.
7. Wear pants that will fit you well, but won't be too tight in the back or on your hips. If you pull on the fabric, it should move away from your leg at least a little.
8. Hide the visible lingerie line. Pantyhose, combinations, and "pull-on shorts" will help if you need to hide everything.
9. Choose shorts and skirts that will be below the level of your arms. Extend your arms at your sides. Straighten your fingers, keeping them in that position, and make sure the bottom line of the pants or shorts will be longer than your fingers.
10. Choose dresses that have sleeves or straps that are at least five centimeters wide. If you have thinner ones, then cover your shoulders with a shawl or sweater.

What is modest fashion?
Every girl and woman has different ideas about modesty. For some, religious beliefs may require a girl to have her entire body covered in a public place. For others, modesty simply means avoiding deep cleavage and skirts that are too short. If your own ideas about modesty are still forming, consider asking for some basic advice when putting together your closet.
Wear an outfit consisting of multiple layers of clothing
You can wear a cute top or sweater with ruffles and still look modest. Learn the way to make your closet more versatile.
1. Wear a cute top under a sweater or jacket. A trendy neckline top can go well with a cardigan or a trendy denim jacket . Add a touch of style by choosing a top with a funny print or with jewelry on the collar.
2. Disguise a low neckline by wearing a tank top or top under your shirt. If you fall in love with a top or dress that has a deep triangular or square neckline, don't get desperate. A simple tank top or top with feminine lace embellishing the neckline can turn a piece of toiletry into an outfit that will match your modest closet. Many tank tops have adjustable straps, so you can raise the neckline, covering your breasts and leaving the kind of neckline you feel comfortable with.
3. Stock up on cute outerwear. Thin shawls, denim jackets, leather jackets, cardigans, blazers, military-style jackets, etc. The more diverse your closet is - the more outfits you can come up with. Outerwear is great for outfits with deep back cutouts and thin straps.
4. Cover your legs with tight jeans or leggings. If you want to wear a skirt or dress but are worried it's too short for you, compensate for this effect by wearing something underneath. Tight jeans or leggings will go with many things. But remember that many leggings can look completely unfashionable and are likely to be tight around the body. To avoid this, wear skirts that cover most of your hips. Don't wear super-short skirts that completely scuff up when you sit down.
Avoid "tastelessness"
Modest doesn't mean tasteless. Avoid wearing clothes that don't suit you, and choose clothes that emphasize your best features.
1. Choose clothes that "fit" you well. The concept of "well-fitting clothes" does not mean that they will "fit like a second skin", but that they will emphasize the natural curves of your figure. You don't have to completely hide your figure to remain modest. Clothes that emphasize your shape will look better and more appropriate.
2. Try a knee-length skirt with a versatile cut. The trapeze skirt and pencil skirt are two timeless styles that suit all figure types. A skirt that reaches to the knee or goes below is also considered a versatile cut.
3. Wear jeans and pants that fit your figure. Choose classic knee-length peplum or straight pants. They will give your legs enough room to breathe while looking good on almost all body types.
4.Try out different necklines on yourself. If you like a high neckline, try some Mandarin collars, some with turtlenecks and high necklines. Or opt for a triangular neckline that won't expose your chest too much. Don't be afraid to try on outfits with deep necklines, as many pieces can look quite modest if you wear a tank top or top underneath.
5.Try on things with sleeves. There are many more options than just long or short-sleeved things. Look out for short-sleeved things in the style of wing sleeves, bouffant sleeves, bell sleeves, or lantern sleeves. By choosing a trendy type of sleeve, you can look modest and stylish at the same time.
6. Take note of nylon tights. If your dress or skirt calls for more modesty and you still feel uncomfortable, hide your legs under nylon stockings. Solid-colored flesh-colored or colored tights will work best, but you should avoid mesh and patterns on them.
7. Lengthen your legs by using heels. If you have a knee-length or maxi-length skirt, consider wearing heeled shoes to visually increase the length of your legs. Long legs look attractive, but that doesn't necessarily mean they look immodest. The right heel can help you look confident and beautiful.
Add personality by wearing jewelry
You can experiment with your closet and still look modest. Accessorizing is an easy way to make it happen.
1. Try on heels, stylish boots and flat-soled shoes. Look for style in bright colors, ornamentation, or embellishments.
2. Prefer shoes that look classic to shoes that look sexy. Choose open or closed shoes rather than shoes with straps.
3. Think about the height of the heel and its thickness. A thin high heel is usually associated with sexiness. Choose a low, thin heel or other low heel option to maintain a ladylike image.
4. Pick up a fashionable scarf. Scarves are always in fashion. They come in different colors, types, and patterns. They will help to further cover your neck and the top of your chest.
5. Wear a hat. There are a wide variety of different styles to choose from, from fedoras and caps to panamas. Look for one that will fit your face shape or your personal taste. Buy a few hats in the style you want and wear them when you go for a walk - it will add style and modesty to your look.
6.Wear colorful jewelry. Wear only one large piece of jewelry each time or choose a few small ones that will brighten up your whole outfit. Let your imagination run wild by choosing watches, necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings. But stay away from unconventional jewelry such as lip, eyebrow, or tongue rings.
7.Wear a stylish shoulder bag. Almost any bag will fall under modesty standards. Look for a medium-sized bag in a neutral tone to diversify your outfits or opt for a large, brightly colored shoulder bag.
Tips
Try on clothes in front of a full-length mirror. Bend over, sit down, jump, and swing your arms. Make sure your clothes are not too tight.
Don't throw away old clothes just because you think they are unfashionable. Try to find another use for them by matching them with outerwear or give them to a thrift store where someone else can find a use for them.

How to Choose a Modest Top?
One of the things considered basic for every woman is a top. It can be used as home clothes or as a functional element for the everyday look. Women's long or short top helps to accentuate the figure, skillfully hiding flaws and showing its advantages. And therefore, when choosing you need to pay attention to the style, the number of decorative elements, available sizes, and the quality of the intended knitwear. It is important to feel comfortable and cozy at home. The item should not constrict movement, pressure, or tightness in certain places.
