Dressing Modestly in a CHIC WAY | Modest Fashion Tips and Style Ideas

Thank you for these helpful tips ❤ I'm trying to dress more modestly but in a stylish and modern way. I'll definitely incorporate your suggestions

I think modesty depends on the culture, place and location (like it would be nice to wear a mini dress to the beach, but inappropriate for work). Modesty is also a way of showing respect towards others, by not displaying too much that it makes other people uncomfortable.

These are beautiful tips. I dress modestly and more form fitting, alluring when I take a mind to (I’m a singer in a show so it’s just par for the course). But I will say, men who lust will do so no matter what you wear. I say, Dress for yourself and feel great and celebrate your femininity.

Loved this video, very informative and detailed ❤️

Could you please share what you are wearing in this video. I really like the sleeve length and slightly loose fit.

Another reason to cover up is for sun protection. Leathery sun damaged skin is not attractive. Great vid

Loved this! So many great tips for looking modest on a budget. I always opt for a shirt dress. A scarf can also elevate a basic look, or a kitten heel.

Great video, Mariana! You choose the best topics and this one is no exception! Modesty is the best accessory!! Have a great week!!

Accessories are key, I agree. Before I retired, I got comfortable wearing statement, jewelry, sometimes bling, sometimes Southwest turquoise, great pins, etc. with my formal business suits. I still wear fun jewelry retirement.

I love your choice of fashion topics and presentation-- you are so refreshing and almost always throw in a few subtle laughs, keeping it real, at least for me!! ( i.e., we "love" the nuns!😄)

Not for moral reasons but I like modest, minimal clothing. I feel the term “sexy” is a very overused and contrived word. Dressing sexy isn’t something I’ve ever wanted to do. That’s just me. When dressing I like to be as put together as I can be with the least amount of effort possible, but hopefully there are more interesting things about me than my clothes.

Mariana, you look fantastic! The ladies who follow you appreciate your modest beautiful style!

I dress modestly for spirtual reasons but it is my pet peeve when people look frumpy. Incompletely agree that it is important to use texture movement and visual interest. I love bright colors too. It is possible to be more covered up and look extremely cool.

There is definitely different definitions of modesty depending on religion and ethnicity.
I'm a Christian and the definition of modesty has an emphasis around covering all body parts that are deemed alluring to men. But, if you research, the biblical definition of modesty is much more than that. It's about not drawing unnecessary attention to ourselves or not intentionally being the center of attention. Rather, our clothing should indicate to others that we are Christ followers and leave that impression with others.
Not too difficult to figure out, right?😂🤔
So, a very bold, bright printed maxi dress, no cleavage would be considered immodest??? But, skintight leggings & a tight turtleneck, both black, would be modest????
What about your body shape for each outfit? Your personality: how you carry yourself or walk or sit in each outfit?
Modesty is not easy to figure out, is it?

I always say men want to “date” (my euphemism for you know what), flagrantly-sexy women, but they want to marry the classy ones. They won’t marry a woman they’re ashamed to introduce her to their families, friends and colleagues, nor do they want one “available” to other men. People will take you at your own evaluation, so look and be dignified.

I’ve always dressed modestly and I’m 63. By the time I was 12, men were always staring at my full bust and asking me for dates, I hated it, so have never shown cleavage. Dressing super-sexy or wearing super-tight or revealing clothes is just low-class. After swinging so far the other way with the Kardashians, etc., women are beginning to value dressing appropriately again. With modest dressing I feel confident and comfortable in every situation. I’m always amazed that so many women wear those very short and tight skirts when sitting for television filming, etc., then spend the whole time tugging them down. A little forethought goes a long way. That said, if I’m going to show any skin, it will be my legs, they’re good-looking, even at my age. But there are limits, nothing super-short or tight. There is such a thing as age-appropriateness, some women just don’t get this, but the majority do, and adapt beautifully. It’s so sad to see an older woman wearing outfits suitable only for younger teens, they’re only making themselves look like they’re desperately hanging onto youth, and pathetic.

Great tips. It’s possible to dress modestly without looking like a member of Fundamentalist Church (not that there is anything wrong with that)
We have so much vulgarity now in the way we look and act, it’s very unfortunate.
Your picture references are excellent.

I think you will enjoy following Jasmina Puri. She used to do a lot on YT but switched to Insta. She is half Spanish and Indian. I adore her classic but slightly edgy style x

Modesty is always more elegant, and more acceptable in public. I always look to Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, all classed as sexy, style icons, but modest.
