Definition
Longer hems, higher necklines, sleeves, opaque materials and loose silhouettes can be typical. However, there is no global standard for what is considered modest.
In simple words
Modest fashion is a diverse fashion practice and not a single aesthetic. It can look minimalist, colorful, luxurious, sporty or trendy. Layering is often important, but should not be unnecessarily heavy or bulky.
What to pay attention to
- Define your personal limits for coverage instead of basing yourself on someone else’s standard.
- When layering, pay attention to breathability, mobility and clear lengths.
- Check transparency especially in bright light and flash photography.
Common misconceptions
Modest fashion is neither informal nor automatically religious. It describes different decisions about visibility and coverage.
ESKYNA note
Modest Fashion shows that restraint does not mean less style, but rather a conscious form of visibility.
