Light Layering
Light layering is the way forward for utilising the pieces in your wardrobe that may be more exposing and including wardrobe staples like denim that you already own. In this outfit, styling something everyone has, a t-shirt, with a lightweight jacket over the top promises an easy breezy feeling this Summer. Pair these pieces with true Summer accessories like sunglasses, espadrilles and a straw bag for the perfect Summer look.
Modest Co Ords
Make a statement with minimal effort with a modest co-ord. Whether you wear the matching pieces together for a put-together look or mix and match for versatility, a co-ord is perfect for warmer days. Wide-leg trousers paired with matching tops or shirts create an effortlessly chic, airy silhouette that keeps you cool and comfortable. Opt for light tones and breathable fabrics to stay stylish while beating the heat.
Materials For Keeping Cool
For starters, we recommend avoiding materials like corduroy, velvet, wool and materials that are heavier as they are designed to keep heat in, rather than be breathable. If you’re covering up, lighter materials are going to be your best friend. Great options for keeping cool are breathable fabrics like cotton, linen and seersucker as the natural fibers allow air to circulate more easily.
Keep Covered With a Modest Midi or Maxi
The number one option is opting for midi or maxi dresses for ultimate coverage. The length is a big tick and in an A-line flowy cut, you’ll keep cool with ease as well as looking super chic. If you picked out something tight and bodycon, this would only encourage an uncomfortably sweaty time. A modest maxi dress is a sure-fire solution to your Summer wardrobe dilemmas. We love a shirt dress for guaranteed modesty. The button up neckline offers you control over your exposure and has longer sleeves to cover up your arms. Shirt dresses are typically designed in cotton or linen, the ideal materials to keep you cool.
Summer Shirts & Blouses For Modesty
The ideal modest Summer top is a lightweight shirt; owning trusted staples in multiple colours is the way of building a wardrobe you can rely on for casual Summer outfits. They are typically designed in cotton or linen which makes them breathable and perfect during the heat. These can also be layered and worn on top of t-shirts to ensure the arms remain covered. We also love long sleeve and high neck blouses as they offer the most coverage and are often available in the most Spring/Summer friendly prints and shades.

Denim In The Summer
Pair Summery tops and blouses with a lighter wash jeans and denim. Avoid dark wash colours at all costs as you tend to overheat easier when wearing darker shades. Light blue, white and cream jeans pair well with florals and bright Summer tones. Skinny or slim fit jeans will only make you hotter whereas a looser fit like a mom jean or a straight leg is perfect for everyday ease in the sun. For the fashion conscious, barrel and wide leg fits are trendy but equally as covered as well as balancing your silhouette.
Higher Necklines
Finding stylish yet modest pieces for summer can be a challenge. Dresses often come in shorter lengths, with lower necklines and shorter sleeves, making modest summer dressing tricky. To maintain coverage, opt for round or high-neck cuts instead of v-necks or scoop necks. However, if a short-sleeve or v-neck style is your only option, don’t worry—we’ve got a solution! Layer a lightweight long-sleeve top or shirt underneath for instant modesty without compromising on comfort. Finish the look with breathable fabrics and neutral tones to stay cool and stylish all season long.
Using Pieces In Your Wardrobe
Modest clothing for the Summer shouldn’t be so difficult to find and being fashionable at the same time shouldn’t be such a dilemma! At the end of the day, it’s all about the materials you opt for, and linen is a big yes from us for ultra-comfort. Flowy, long sleeves and layers are pieces within your wardrobe that can take you between the seasons with ease. We know that during the colder months, modest clothing is a lot easier to find as being covered up is the aim to stay warm. That’s why this guide considers buying pieces that will work well all year round.
