You can get modest wear from specific modest fashion brands, online fashion stores, local boutiques, ethnic wear shops, or even mainstream apparel businesses. A distinct “modest wear” collection isn’t necessary. You can create modest outfits with longer hemlines, full or long sleeves, higher necklines, looser fits, and appropriate layering.
Personally, I suppose modest fashion should not have one specific definition. It may be an abaya and hijab for one individual but a maxi dress, long skirt, big shirt, or loose co-ord set for another, and still feel completely modest.
Where To Buy Modest Clothing
You may search for modest clothing via:
-
Fashion brands modest committed
-
E-commerce fashion marketplaces
-
Local shops
-
Islamic clothing and Abaya shops
-
Ethnic wear retailers
-
Indie fashion labels
-
Main street clothes businesses
When buying online, use particular search words like "full-sleeve maxi dress," "loose-fit co-ord set," "long tunic," "modest office wear," or “abaya” instead of just searching for "modest wear."
Choosing the Right Clothes
First, define what modest dressing means to you.
Think about your desired coverage, your lifestyle, the climate, cultural or religious practices, and your personal style.
Be mindful of fit and fabric opacity, sleeve length, collar, and overall garment length. A dress may look modest in a product photo yet be a little see-through in natural light.
I would always measure the real clothing myself while shopping online. Clothing sizes are inconsistent, and a bad fit is a huge problem in the fashion e-commerce world.
Types of Modesty Clothing
You can add in to your little wardrobe:
-
Abayas and kaftans
-
Midi and maxi dress
-
Skirt length
-
Flared pants
-
Palace pants
-
Long kurtas and tunics
-
Large shirts
-
Full-sleeve dresses
-
Loose co-ord
-
Long-line coats & cardigans
-
Hijabs and headscarves
Modest attire doesn't need to be dull or only in neutral colors. You can experiment with prints, embroidery, colors, accessories, and modern silhouettes without moving out of your comfort zone of coverage.
Building a Basic Wardrobe
I would recommend expanding your wardrobe slowly, not buying everything at once.
Opt for adaptable basics such as wide-leg trousers, long skirts, full-sleeve tops, maxi dresses, and layering pieces. Opt for colors that may be readily mixed and matched.
Layering can also extend the life of the clothes you currently own. For example, you can put a shirt under a sleeveless dress or throw a long cardigan over an outfit.
The trick is to make modest attire realistic for your regular life, not to be buying new clothes all the time.
Tips for Online Shopping
If you’re shopping for modest wear online, don’t just go by the pictures of models.
Look at the:
-
Size Chart & Garment Measurements
-
Overall length and sleeve length
-
Material Composition
-
Translucent or transparent
-
Customer reviews
-
Return & exchange policy
If you are shorter or taller than the model, pay special attention to the length of the clothing. A maxi dress might look quite different on one person vs. another, even down to the ankles.
