Layering is a great way to add style and personality to your wardrobe while still maintaining a modest look. There are endless possibilities when it comes to layering, so you can experiment until you find a style that works for you. With our new Beautiful Basics Collection releasing soon, we wanted to dive into the fun of layering. Let your personality shine as you accessorize for a look that is all you!
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Tops: You can layer a variety of tops to create a modest look. For example, you could wear a long-sleeved top under a short-sleeved top, or a turtleneck under a button-up shirt. You could also layer a cardigan or jacket over a top. One of the most popular looks right now is a long sleeve top under a sleeveless dress; it's an adorable look that ladies of every age, stage, and size can pull off well.
- Bottoms: A layering slip can add so much flair to a shorter dress or skirt. We love seeing this style! Have a skirt or dress with a split and don't want to pin or sew it? Add a layering slip! The lace or ruffles peeking through the slit is such a unique look!
- Accessories: Accessories can also be used to add modesty to your look. For example, you could wear a scarf to cover your neck, or a cardigan to cover your arms. Accessories can make a simple outfit pop!
Here are some additional tips for layering for modesty:
- Choose fabrics that are opaque and flowy. Layering too much can be warm, so choose lightweight, flowing fabrics for coolness.
- Avoid sheer or tight-fitting fabrics.
- Pay attention to the neckline of your tops. Choose tops with high necklines or turtlenecks.
With a little creativity, you can use layering to create a variety of modest and stylish looks. So experiment and have fun!
