A Woman's Guide To Buying Stylish Modest Islamic Clothing

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.

The good news is that there is a large move towards "modern modest" clothing for women of faiths other than Islam. Because of this, many clothing manufacturers are beginning to offer clothing that is still beautiful to look at but which may be cut more generously to hide the outlines of the body and to cover the body much more completely than in the past.

If you are interested in wearing many of the modern tops that are currently popular, you may want to consider investing in long sleeved undershirts. These can cover the arms from the wrists or the forearms up but are light enough to wear even if the weather is warm. Look for shirts that are made out of cotton as these can be soft and comfortable.

Maxi skirts are a great choice for women to wear as well. Many of these reach the ankle and can be flowing and easy to move in. If you will be wearing a skirt while you are participating in physical activities such as sports, you may want to try on your skirt with the athletic wear you plan to put on underneath. That way you will make sure that the fabric does not become twisted.

Leggings can add an extra layer of modesty to your outfit as well. If you choose fleece-lined versions you may also find that you are warmer and more comfortable when the weather is cold. Look for bother patterned styles and those in plain colors to make sure you are building the most versatile wardrobe you can.

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.
