Tailored modest fashion

Sure, the classic white tee is perfectly capable of keeping you on-trend when you’re dressing modestly. There’s nothing wrong with going classic and timeless with pairing a white long-sleeved piece under a strappy dress or a sleeveless denim jumpsuit for extra coverage, but for a more sophisticated and put-together look, go with a crisp tailored blazer.

When it comes to modest style, tailored blazers are your best friend! These extremely versatile pieces can be layered on top or paired underneath otherwise revealing dresses and wardrobe pieces, and can effectively keep your arms and décolletage appropriately covered. As the perfect modest wear when you’re making big client presentations at work or leading that team meeting in front of your boss, tailored outer pieces for women add an extra layer of grace and can help you command respect wherever you go. Invest in a couple of these classic shapes, or go for wrap styles if you want something a little extra. And hey—it can’t hurt to drop hints here and there about this modest clothing must-have to your family and friends, right?
