‘Very Demure, Very Mindful’ – we all have heard this much-popular line that took Instagram by storm. Turns out, it’s not just limited to make-up, and has entered the world of fashion. More women are exploring the trend of modest dressing – basically, opting for clothes that show less skin while making a powerful style statement.

This is a refreshing contrast to the bolder, skin-showing dressing aesthetic that has a much more widespread following. What it also led to, is enable more women who’ve always been followers of modest dressing to claim it confidently in public. It reinforces the message that their choice is just as valid, even if it’s not the popular ‘norm’.

So, What Is Modest Dressing All About?

Well, in first glance, it’s about picking clothes that cover the skin albeit with oodles of elegance and sophistication. Much is intriguingly left to one’s imagination. It also blends in elements of minimalism for creating timeless looks. Therefore, modest clothes generally have a flowy cut and don’t hug one’s body tightly. It also includes flattering silhouettes that give the body a softer definition, instead of hard lines highlighting different body part.


Next comes everything colour. Usually, modest dressing includes a limited number of colours, to make the attire look more coherent. Sometimes, different shades of the same parent colour are used for putting together a chic outfit – these create the popular monochrome looks.

What about accessories? From earrings to belts to shoes, the design is pretty minimalist with evergreen colours that can go with multiple fits. They’re usually less blingy and in-your-face, and follow the principle of being quietly stylish.

The result are smashing looks that make their wardrobes more expressive and fun. And with this, they’re helping women to practise their faith in their way while also looking stylish.
