It’s #LifestyleWednesday! Dressing modestly has become a bit of a hot topic recently. Some people say itΓÇÖs all about oppression and women should feel free to wear what they want. Some people say that itΓÇÖs actually their right as a female to wear what they want, and they want to dress modestly!

We DivaGals support dressing however makes you feel fabulous! If you’re not into making out like Rihanna in a bikini, here are some modern ways to do modest fabulously modern!

Maxi dresses. It doesnΓÇÖt get much more fashionable than this! Maxi dresses are at the top of most womenΓÇÖs wish lists for summer. TheyΓÇÖre easy to wear and flattering for all body shapes. They also come in a broad range of colors and patterns. They tick every box on the wardrobe staples checklist. The great thing about maxi dresses is that they also keep you cool in the warmer months. This is dressing modestly at its best.

Blouses and Tops. It can be pretty tricky to find long-sleeved anything when the sun is out. However, itΓÇÖs not completely impossible! Try looking for blouses and cotton tops that will ensure you donΓÇÖt overheat. A pretty blouse teamed with a maxi skirt is an essential fashion must-have for summer. Make sure that youΓÇÖre going for fabrics that allow the skin to breathe, however. Polyester is a big no-no in warmer temperatures.

Saris. Thanks to the Bollywood scene, saris are the height of fashion right now. It doesnΓÇÖt matter which country youΓÇÖre from; youΓÇÖre bound to see someone trying to pull off a sari. TheyΓÇÖre beautifully made, they keep you cool, and they’ll make┬áyou feel like a movie star. The only difficulty comes when you try to work out how to put it on! A little practice will help you learn how┬áto get these┬ágarment on and off.

Headscarves. Not only are head scarves in fashion at the moment, but theyΓÇÖre the perfect accessory for summer. Especially if youΓÇÖre prone to getting sunstroke. You can buy a hijab online pretty easily if thereΓÇÖs nowhere around you that sells them. Keep your head protected when the sun is beating down and look on-trend at the same time. ItΓÇÖs a win-win!

Floaty Skirts. Want to pull off that boho chic style? You need to invest in some floaty skirts. As soon as the vacation season arrives, most shops fill their shelves with all types of longer skirts. Usually in a range of different fabrics too. From chiffon to cotton. Just like maxi dresses, this fashion staple will keep you cool during those winter months. And, youΓÇÖll be on trend.

Shawls and Jackets. ItΓÇÖs far too hot to walk around in a coat or jumper, so invest in some shawls and jackets instead. A cropped denim jacket will look great with a blouse and maxi skirt. A shawl is a great idea for those who want to keep the sun off their shoulders and arms without getting too hot in a long-sleeved top!

We love the modern modest fashion trend at the moment, despite what some people might say. If you can still be a Diva in a maxi dress then who cares what other people think? Looking for some great options? Start your search at BooHoo.com, offering fun style at very reasonable prices.
