MODESTY IN FASHION

Modest fashion is a women's fashion trend that features fewer skin-revealing clothing while being attractive and amazing. Modest dress worn by lovers satisfies the spiritual and elegant aspects for personal and religious purposes...Different cultures have different interpretation of the word 'modest' varying across countries because different cultures read different meanings into the word 'modest', which is influenced by the socio-cultural characteristics of each country.  From the different definitions of modest fashion, one common theme emerges: modest fashion is being comfortable in clothing that covers the entire body while remaining stylish and selected independently. 

The word 'modest' has multiple meanings and interpretations across religious bounds, as well as inside each religious limit.  There are parallels, for example, Muslim, Christian, and Jewish women all cover their heads. A Muslim woman wears a hijab, a Christian woman wears a headscarf, and a Jewish woman wears a tichel.

There is a misunderstanding about modest fashion that may be referred to as a broad misconception: modest dressing is necessarily oppressive.  This is a fallacy that should be dispelled because it is simply a mistake about the fashion trend. Modest dress remains both stylish and enticing, as a woman who practices modest fashion can still look fantastically gorgeous while concealing her hair and every provocative aspect of her body.  To see beauty in following the trend, this should be done out of personal choice rather than compulsion.

Modest fashion should not be viewed as a stylistic constraint, and as such, the term will remain popular.  Across all religions, it has been established to add style to modest dress while yet covering the important areas of the body.  Dressing while covering the majority of the body should allow for the latest trends and stylish pairings. 

Modest fashion is ubiquitous.  When you first enter this sphere, you may not see great brands or street style icons, but instead embrace huge curves, covered-up silhouettes, and various headwear.  As long as you continue to dress modestly, you will gain greater fashion exposure and eventually become a fashion celebrity in your own right.

It should be highlighted that women understand the demand for modest clothes in a variety of ways, and their interpretation of modest dressing can have a significant impact on their lives.  Within a same religious denomination, there are various interpretations and practices.  

Many ladies are unaware that the outfits they wear can be considered modest fashion.  They simply interpret it as a style that connects with them.

Fashion's future direction should be reconsidered.  Diversity has become an industry standard thanks to social media.  It has also shed focus on the fact that women of all sizes, colors, shapes, and backgrounds may be as stylish as possible. 

Modesty in fashion should still be considered stylish and should not be seen as obsolete. How you dress should be based on preferences and choices. For instance, wearing an abaya (a full covering clothing adorned with accessories) is very gorgeous, it creates this expensive and rich aunty vibe.  It is usually full covering of the body yet it is so glamorous.
