Advice Unsure

Going shopping with my friend and her mom tommrow…put this outfit together. I love it but my friend said the headscarf makes me look Muslim. I’m not one to care what people think but now I’m unsure. Is this outfit too modest? Is that even a thing? My boyfriend says it looks good but I’m still not sure. Also I am a little nervous about wearing my headscarf in public…

Request Workout skirt with built-in ankle-length leggings

6 Upvotes

I am 5’10”(178cm). I just cannot find a knee length workout skirt with leggings that go to the ankle. Even when the description says ankle-length, it’s not ankle length on me

Shorter is fine in warm weather, but I’d like the leggings to be long in winter

I’m happy to buy a skirt and leggings but I need them to be the same fabric and the skirt shouldn’t have a built in skort

Any recommendations for me?

Denim pinafore over a plain white tee is the easiest modest formula that still looks intentional. Layers do the work

For the first outfit, my mantilla is from Veil by Tradition, the top is a really old Old Navy sweater, vintage skirt, and BCBG boots. For this outfit I wanted to play with textures (lace, corduroy, leather) to add visual interest.

For the second outfit my mantilla is by Maria Veils and the dress is from Retro Stage. The pink in the veil coordinates with the small pink flower print on the dress. This outfit feels super feminine, which I love.

For the third outfit, the headscarf is from an Etsy vendor (I don't think she's selling anymore), shirt is Old Navy, and then the skirt is the same one as in the first pic (when you have favorites you keep wearing them.) I was going for a really soft tone on tone look with this outfit.

I LOVE this skirt set I found online, but both of the websites have terrible reviews. I really want it for my graduation and I know this is such a long shot, but if anyone has seen it on vinted or depop (or is selling it themselves) in a M/L pleaasseee send it my way 😭🙏🏼

Just for preference I have always been a somewhat modest dresser…as of recent I have been mostly wearing long skirts and dresses which is pretty easy to “ get away”with so to speak. I wanted to know if my outfit for mass is to out there? This is the most clearly modest outfit I’ve ever worn… any suggestions/ critiques will be greatly appreciated 💕

I like that it has a cape on the chest but the top length is not as long.

Advice What do you wear under your skirts for modesty?

12 Upvotes

I’ve recently gotten into wearing long skirts since I realized they’re really comfy and help with modesty but just wearing a skirt over my undergarments makes me feel a bit exposed even though my skirts are lined it just makes me more conscious when I walk or when it’s windy that my skin could be exposed, so I wanted to ask, what do yall wear under your skirts?

Polyester clothing VS natural fiber

Modest brands are selling polyester at ridiculous prices, however my question is would you still buy that same dress if it was cheaper? Or you just have a "no polyester" policy ?

Question Looking for the name of a specific head covering.

Post image
9 Upvotes

Sorry if this is the wrong sub, but I keep seeing women wearing a specific type of head covering, and I’m curious about what it is.

It’s a headscarf with a piece of batting or something that forms a thin ring around the head, in a semicircular shape. These ladies are usually speaking some kind of Eastern European language, and they’d to dress very modestly.

Does anyone know the name so I can research further?

(A very accurate artistic rendition included)

Discussion One thing I wish I knew earlier about building a modest wardrobe 🤍

8 Upvotes

You don’t need to replace your entire wardrobe at once.

I think it’s much easier to start with a few pieces that make your existing clothes more modest — a good maxi skirt, an oversized shirt or cardigan, a neutral abaya, and a few hijabs that work with multiple outfits.

Then slowly figure out what your version of modest style actually looks like instead of feeling like you need to change everything overnight.

For anyone who started dressing more modestly later on, what’s something you wish you knew at the beginning?

Picture/Video My go-to GYM outfit of late

Thumbnail gallery

Not pictured: black triangle veil, under which is a wide fabric headband instead of an underscarf. Secured w/ bobby pins.

Pictured:

  • mock neck under layer
  • black wrap top (shorter because I was cycling today, for other activities I’ll often leave it longer and tie a bow)
  • Athletic skirt (about knee length — normally I prefer longer skirts but longer skirts were getting in the way of physical activity, so this is about as long as I can have it without any restriction). Tights + shorts underneath for cycling, wider leg pants underneath for other activities
  • Necklace for whimsy

What are y’all’s go-to workout outfits?

Discussion Eternally seeking tight-necked crew neck t-shirts

2 Upvotes

Hello! I have a hard time finding t-shirts that cover old tattoos that I have.

I don't want them to peek out at all and they go right up to my collarbones. I have probably 5 nice cotton black crew neck t-shirts that are fitted and cover them. All are impossible to find now and one just got a hole in it.

I usually cover with a cardigan.

I like a longer fit. And nice sleeves either short to 3/4 length.

Where do you find good crew neck shirts that don't gape open or move around. Mine are tightish small to avoid this, kind of like a shell, and not too stretchy cotton.

Under $30 is best.

Also I wear mainly just black, not white or most colors.

Any help appreciated!

hi guys! i’ve been looking for a while for an athletic material light jacket in black that isn’t super showy. All the ones i’ve tried ended up either too short or too tight. the picture is the kind i’m looking for and actually the one i bought but it was way too tight and shorter than i expected. after sizing up reviews are saying it just looks clunky and isn’t much longer
