Modest Wardrobe Essentials

Sometimes, it’s hard to know where to start in creating a modest look. As muslimahs, It is our duty to dress modestly. Here are some basic items that never loses it's classic touch and which can help you build a modest wardrobe.

Long Sleeve Body Top
Long sleeve tops can be a real life saver when you fall in love with a garment which doesn't have any sleeves. It should be owned by every women as it is an easy fix in situations like this. These are great for extra coverage however they shouldn't be worn on their own in public (*tut tut*). In addition, they add texture and definition to any outfit. 

Over Sized Sweaters
I know everyone isn't too keen on the over sized trend but I think they're especially stylish and as a bonus, they're also fairly modest. You can get great coverage and they're extremely comfortable as well.

Cardigan, Blazer & Jacket
cardigans, blazers & jackets are a great item of clothing because they always help you to revamp many outfits. Moreover, they look nice when worn over long dresses as they can add some personality into them. They can be thrown on over something you feel may be a little bit too form fitting. Overall, These are an amazing way to add definition and bring an outfit together.

Blouse
Loose blouses are really stylish when they are worn above a top or dress. They don't cling on to you nor does it show your figure. In addition, most of them are modest with the long sleeves, length and decent neckline.

Long Skirt

Long skirts are a great choice for a bit of womanliness  to trousers. They are really good as they go with pretty much everything. It's fab for hot days like the summer. In general, skirts just have that very chic look.

Jeans

A great pair of jeans not skin-tight jeans.  They're my favourite mainly because I wear them most as they go with anything. I feel that they are stylish, suitable and elegant. Moreover, they are not difficult to style and are so much better than having leggings and skinny jeans on show. There is so much variety to be had but it's best to start with a basic black pair and a denim pair since they're smart and casual.

Dresses

Long dresses are overall modest. They have well good coverage and don't need too much change. Cardigans & long sleeved tops solve the problem for dresses that are sleeveless and have low necklines. The length can range from below-the-knee, knee length and floor length. However, Ofcourse it doesn't get any better than an abaya! HIGHLY modest, easy to wear, can be styled in many ways and they're very practical.
