Whether your religion, tradition or culture encourages it or you just don’t like to flaunt it, there is no reason you can’t be stylish and trendy, while being covered.
Modest clothing calls for high-necks, layers, longer hems and minimum skin showing. That’s doesn’t mean you must compromise on your style.
Here are a few tips on how to look stylish and yet maintain your modesty.
Layering
Layers are your best friends. Layering makes any outfit stylish. Opt for leather jackets, trench coats, long capes, kimonos. There are n-number of outer wear, that makes you look elegant and trendy at the same time.
Higher Necklines
Higher necks are the best way to stay stylish without showing any skin. Say ‘Hi’, to classic turtle necks and crew necks, that covers your collar bones and more. If you are open to showing a little skin, you could also try out scoop necks, boat neck or petite V-necks.
Fits
Let’s dispel the myth about fits. Covering up your modesty, doesn’t mean you always wear baggy, unflattering clothes. While you keep it covered, don’t compromise on fit. Baggy fits, straight fits and skinny fits, are all must haves in your closet. Keep proportions in check by pairing with loose tops, (frills, boho, kimono) and vice-versa.
