How To Find Modest Islamic Clothing That Is Also Modern And Stylish

By Stephen Russell


Just because you are a devout Islamic woman does not mean that you are prevented from wearing beautiful clothing and looking your best. It may take a bit of searching and some creativity but you can still satisfy your religious obligations while looking your best. Here are tips for finding stylish, modest Islamic clothing.

Depending on where you are from, your views of what is modest may vary greatly. For many women, simply covering the hair and wearing clothing that does not overly attract the eyes of men will be enough to fulfill their obligations. For other women, however, it may be more customary to cover more of the body and sometimes even the face and eyes. Your personal modesty requirements will influence which styles and garments will suit your needs.

In the past, many women wanted to dress as revealingly as possible but now that trend is reversing itself. An increasing number of women are wanting to cover up more and there has been a trend towards longer skirts and shirts that are not tight against the skin. A larger number of stores and websites are available where a woman can be covered up but still wear items that are very much like those that are high fashion.

Some shirts are easy to make modest even if they have short sleeves or necklines that may show off a woman's cleavage. Choosing an undershirt in a coordinating color will give you the look you want while still allowing you to feel comfortable and covered up. You may want to choose a plain under shirt in a color that will match other accessories that you are wearing so that you appear polished and coordinated.

There are many skirts available today that have longer hemlines. These often reach below the knee and maxi skirts that reach the ankle are also very popular. Look for long, flowing styles in lighter fabrics that will hang away from the body. If they are very light they will move well when you do and will make it easy for you to take part in many different activities.

For added coverage under a skirt, leggings are a great choice. You should choose which ones you want to wear based on the weather. Heavier fabrics are great when the temperature begins to drop and many are even lined in fleece to help keep you comfortable. While plain cotton will breathe well it may not keep its shape as well as leggings that contain a little bit of Lycra.

Covering the hair with a scarf is easy since these accessories are very popular and on trend. They are available in many different sizes, shapes and colors. There are websites that can teach you different ways to wear them including how to cover your hair with them. Just make sure that the fabric you choose is easy to work with so that you don't spend hours trying to get your head covering on properly.

There are a number of different websites that offer modest Islamic styles regardless of what your personal modesty requirements entail. This can be especially helpful if you need garments that provide more coverage than modern styles may provide. If you see another woman wearing garments that you like especially, asking where she purchased them may also give you a good source of fashion pieces that may suit your needs.
