When choosing an outfit, either for a regular day at work in the office, a casual lunch date with your friends or a more intimate and romantic evening with your partner, it can sometimes be hard to strike the balance between highlighting your strong points whilst retaining a modicum of modesty and decency.
So, whether you are currently looking to put together a specific item for a certain event, or just simply searching for some style inspiration, here are five ways to be modest yet stylish!
-
Maxi & Midi Skirts
A fantastic way to keep your body covered, yet be able to look dazzling and stand-out at any event, is to experiment with both midi and maxi skirts.
Spend some time perusing the high street and searching online for reputable and unique stores, such as Sweet Salt Clothing, for a wide range of beautiful skirts that are as striking as they are affordable and invest in several key pieces that suit both your personality and key tones.
-
Wide Leg & Palazzo Pants
If you are someone who generally prefers not to wear skirts, regardless of length, yet still want to dress for the summer and not have to stick to dark colored tailored trousers, then the answer is simple: palazzo pants.
Palazzo pants are loose trousers with an exceedingly wide leg and can be worn either high up on the waist or around the hips for a looser fit. Not only is this style of trouser comfortable and elegant, but palazzo pants are also ideal for the warmer spring and summer months.
-
Ornate Collars
For those who prefer to keep the upper part of their body covered-up, one fantastic option is to invest in a few tops and shirts that display ornate and fancy collars and cuffs.
From peter pan collars to pearl trims, there’s a myriad of different styles to choose from and what’s more, you can even invest in a detachable collar to liven up a plain shirt or top.
-
Cropped Sweaters
If you have already seen one or two dresses that you absolutely adore, yet are either too low-cut or else sleeveless, making you feel wary of wearing these dresses in public, then why not purchase a couple of cropped sweaters, one in black and the other in white.
This way, you can pair your new dresses with a neutral-colored cropped sweater which will keep your upper body covered, while showing off the beautiful colors and patterns of your dresses.
-
Sew Your Own!
Finding the dress or matching two-piece of your dreams may be difficult to discover; you may want a particular style and color that fits you just so… If you are a dab-hand at sewing, why not put your talents to good use and make your own.
Choosing to make your own garments from scratch, means that you can pick the type of fabric you’d like, to create the perfect look for you. What’s more, you’ll not only be wearing your ideal creations– you can be sure they’re absolutely unique!
