Beat the Heat in Style: Your Modest Summer Capsule Wardrobe Guide

Summer is here, and with it comes the desire to look cute and feel cool. But for those who prefer a more modest approach to fashion, navigating the season's trends can be tricky. Fear not! This guide will help you create a capsule wardrobe that's both stylish and comfortable, all while keeping you covered.

Building Your Foundation

• Fabrics are Key: Opt for natural, breathable materials like linen, cotton, and rayon. These will keep you cool and allow your skin to breathe. Steer clear of synthetics like polyester that trap heat.
• Neutral Love: Neutral colors like white, black, navy, beige, and khaki form the backbone of your capsule. They're endlessly versatile and can be easily mixed and matched.
• Mixing it Up: Don't be afraid of incorporating some patterns and textures! Stripes, florals, and polka dots can add visual interest without compromising modesty.

Tops:

• The Essential Tee: A few high-quality t-shirts in neutral colors are a must-have. Look for crewnecks or boatnecks for a more modest feel.
• The Layering Top: Three-quarter sleeve layering tops are essential for a modest closet. Choose ones a modest neckline and in a thin, breathable fabric layer them under a kimono or lightweight cardigan for added coverage. Try our Everyday Essentials Top in a variety of colors.
• The Button-Down Blouse: A button-down blouse is a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down. Look for elbow-length or long sleeves and playful details like ruffles or puff sleeves.

Bottoms:

• The Midi Skirt: The midi skirt is a summer staple. It's comfortable, flattering, and comes in a variety of styles and colors. Our Today's Lady Pencil Skirt is a versatile piece to be dressed up or down.
• The Maxi Skirt: Maxi skirts are breezy and stylish. Opt for flowing silhouettes like the Touch of Flair Ruffle Skirt to elongate your figure.
• The Denim Skirt: A denim skirt is a timeless classic. It flatters your figure and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Shop our denim collection here. 

Dresses:

• The Layering Dress: The layering dress is a must for a modest summer wardrobe. Wear as a stand-alone or accessorize away with belts, scarves, jackers, blazers, or kiminos. Our layering dresses are made with the comfiest material and fit like a dream!
• The Knit Classic: A simple knit dress can be dressed up or down all summer long. Choose a modest tunic style like Your Favorite Dress, a flattering, waisted number like the Wishful Weekend dress, or a preppy, striped style like the Everyday Elegance dress.
• The Showstopper: Every lady needs at least one showstopper dress that she feels beautiful in no matter what. Find a dress that's flattering on your figure and in a color or print that complements your complexion. You can find dozens of options to choose from here. 

Remember:

• Fit is Everything: Well-fitting clothes are always more flattering. Don't be afraid to tailor pieces for a perfect fit.
• Accessorize: Hair accessories, scarves, belts, and bags can elevate your look and add personality to your outfits.
• Confidence is Key: The most important element of any outfit is how you feel in it. Rock your modest style with confidence and you'll radiate summer vibes!
