Modest Women’s Clothing Tips: The Importance of Accessories

No matter if you’re just getting dressed to go the store or are going out for a night on the town, you can always add a little something to what you’re going out in by donning a few accessories. It’s amazing what a pair of earrings or a colorful beaded necklace can add to an outfit. I was never the accessories type of person until a few months ago. Jewelry always felt like too much for me. I wore earrings occasionally, but that was it.

I mean, to me, modest fashion means not being flashy, and I felt that accessories were distracting and gaudy. Well, I thought that until I had a job interview and went to my cousin for advice on how to dress to impress. She help me pick out the perfect outfit (from Tabeez.com of course) and insisted that I wear this turquoise layered bead necklace and earring set. I was unsure about it, but my cousin is the modest fashion queen and always looks great, so I decided to take a leap and go with her advice. I ended up getting the job and about 100 compliments on my way home from the interview. So if you really want to look polished and put together, take the extra step and wear some accessories.

Choosing Cool Modest Fashion Items For Summer

Just because you’re into modest fashion, doesn’t meant that you have to be hot, sweaty and uncomfortable all summer. The key to staying cool and classy this summer is all in the fabrics you choose. Sure, a long sleeve shirt is going to be a lot warmer than a tank top, but a crucial element in how comfortable you are in a garment is what type of fabric it’s made from. Here are a few tips to help you choose the most comfortable modest fashion items.

1) Tops: When choosing tops to wear this summer, generally it’s a good idea to stick to moisture wicking fabrics. A cotton/spandex or lycra blend is ideal because they are generally thinner than a 100% cotton blend and can wick away moisture to keep you cool and dry. If you’re going to layer, go with thin gauzey fabrics.

2) Dresses. Those flowly floor length sun dresses look great and are great to wear in summer. A thin polyester fabric is perfect for summer. You can pick these dresses out in a lineup because they look gorgeous in breezy weather.

3) Skirts. Long jean skirts can be a little hot during these summer months, so stick to those knee-length styles. If you want something a little dressier than a jean skirt, check out skirts like The Legging Skirt at Tabeez. It’s that lovely cotton/spandex blend we mentioned earlier so you know it will keep you cool.

Easy Modesty Tips

While some ladies observe religious rules that require modest fashion, it is important to recognize that modesty can be a fashion choice as well. While the phrase “skin is in” may be a popular one currently, the fact remains that donning modest women’s clothing is a personal choice about how a lady views herself and chooses to portray herself.

There are no set “fashion rules” to modesty, as every ladies body type is different, as is every ladies interpretation of “modest.” However, here are some basic ways to make sure your outfit is up to your own, personal, modesty standards:

Check the Neckline. Is the neckline to your shirt hanging too low? A good measurement is seeing if your palm fits between the top of the bra and the top of the neckline. Additionally, use a mirror to investigate how much cleavage you reveal when you lean over.

How tight is your shirt? Lower temperatures can affect your body in different ways, and there’s plenty of ways to avoid losing your modesty because of the weather. Try wearing layers, like a tank top, or a padded bra. Additionally, check your bra straps regularly to make sure they’re not showing.

Try out Typical Body Positions: It’s one thing to look exhibit modest fashion standing straight up in front of a mirror. It’s another thing entirely to look modest during some of the regular positions you’ll have to take part in during a typical day. Does your underwear stick out when you lean over? Does your belly show if you lift your hands above your head? How far up my skirt or shorts can someone see when I’m sitting down? These are just a few examples of seemingly harmless positions that could compromise your efforts to appear modest in womens trendy clothing.

The Virtues of Modest Women’s Clothing

Women choose to dress modestly for a whole range of reasons. Women may dress with modesty to seek the approval of relatives or family members, for religious reasons, to avoid drawing unwanted attention to themselves, to be comfortable, or just because they understand the classic beauty of understated modest fashion.

Each woman’s standards for dressing in modest clothing are different: for some women, it may mean covering shoulders or wearing high-cut shirts; for others it may mean covering up arms and legs, or simply avoiding clothes that cling to their body.

Whatever your reasons for choosing to wear modest women’s clothing, you can look stylish and trendy. Modest clothing does not spell floor-length Elizabethan dresses or tent-like sweaters; far from it. In trendy modest fashion, you can stay covered up while looking feminine, unique and beautiful.

Layering your clothing is a great way to look modest and fashionable. A long-sleeved black shirt can be your best friend; wear it under low-cut or short-sleeved tops, and you’ll add extra depth to your look.

Similarly, modest women’s clothing lovers can never have enough cardigans. For summer, have plenty of light-weight cotton cardigans that you can slip over shirts and dresses, and get creative by wearing pins and brooches.

Issues with Turning Old Jeans Into Denim Skirts

Here are some problems I encountered while attempting to turn an old pair of jeans into trendy denim skirts:

It’s extraordinarily difficult to force the center seam go straight down. An easier solution is to simply overlap the tiny flaps in the crotch area and sew them down.

While some will declare themselves sturdy enough to go through denim, the simple fact is that some sewing machines just don’t have the strength to handle jeans. Make sure your machine is up to the challenge, otherwise you could seriously damage your equipment.

Also, be cautious when cutting fabric. This is especially true when opening the inside leg seams.

Perhaps it goes without saying, but try to avoid trying the skirt on while it’s still pinned. You’ll have plenty of time to see yourself in the skirt once its completed; don’t risk hurting yourself or your product just to get an early preview.

While initially a cute rainy-day project, I found turning my old jeans into a skirt to be a tedious, difficult assignment that I would barely consider worth the trouble. Therefore, if you’re looking for modest, long jean skirts, starting with an old pair of jeans might not be your ideal game-plan. Next time I desire a jean skirt, I’m probably just gonna buy one.
