Modest Clothing: A Guide to Everyday Modest Wear

Modest clothing has moved into the mainstream, with high-street and designer brands now offering modest ranges. Here is a short guide to building an everyday modest wardrobe.

What is modest clothing?

Modest clothing prioritises coverage and comfort without sacrificing style — think longer hemlines, looser cuts and easy layering pieces. It is now widely available, from the high street to designer houses.

Everyday pieces to build around

• Abayas — an easy one-piece or open layer; browse abayas.
• Kimonos — light open layers over a slip dress; see kimonos.
• Hijabs — the finishing layer; browse hijabs.

How to style modest everyday wear

Start with neutral, versatile pieces you can mix and match — a slip dress under an open abaya or kimono, finished with a tonal hijab, works for everyday and occasions alike.
