July 15, 2024 ยท by Andrea Long

Looking for a wardrobe that reflects your personal style while embracing modesty? You're not alone! Building a capsule wardrobe with versatile pieces allows you to mix and match effortlessly, creating endless outfit possibilities. The key is to find stylish pieces that flatter your figure and adhere to your sense of modesty.

This blog post is your guide to creating an affordable capsule wardrobe that's both modest and fashionable, taking you from work to weekend and everything in between.

Tops:

  • High-Neck Elegance: Ditch the plunging necklines and opt for high-neck blouses. These polished pieces come in a variety of styles and fabrics, perfect for work or a dressed-up weekend look. Look for details like ruching or interesting sleeves to add visual intrigue. Check out our With Love blouse!
  • Long Sleeve Layering Hero: The long sleeve tee is a workhorse in any capsule wardrobe. Layer it under a blazer for work or wear it on its own for a casual outing. Choose a thicker material for cooler weather or a lighter weight material for warmer days. Our Everyday Essentials Tops are affordable customer favorites for layering. 

Bottoms:

  • The Alluring Midi Skirt: Midi skirts that fall below the knee are a perfect choice for both work and weekend wear. With a variety of styles like pleated, A-line, and wrap skirts, you're sure to find one that flatters your figure. Our Chic and Simple Pencil Skirt in midi length or our Today's Lady Pencil skirts are versatile pieces every lady needs in her closet!
  • The Magnificent Maxi Skirt: Maxi skirts are versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down for any occasion. This style works for any season and offers full coverage for transitioning from warmer months to cooler ones. You can't go wrong with a classic maxi skirt like the Chic and Simple Skirt in maxi length. 

    Dresses:

    • Effortless Maxi Magic: Maxi dresses are a lifesaver for those seeking a comfortable and modest outfit. Look for maxi dresses with long sleeves or higher necklines for added coverage. Layer up with our A New Beginning maxi dress or wear it by itself with fun accessories. 
    • Fit and Flare Finesse: The fit and flare dress offers a flattering silhouette that's both stylish and modest. The fitted bodice and flared skirt create a balanced look that's perfect for work or dressed-down for the weekend. The Made for More dress is flattering on every figure! 

    Outerwear:

    • The Essential Blazer: A blazer is a must-have layering piece for any capsule wardrobe. Look for blazers in a longer length to provide more coverage. You can throw it over a dress or skirt and blouse to create a polished look for work or an evening out. Find your favorite blazer from our wide selection of workwear options!
    • Long Cardigan Comfort: Long cardigans are a great way to add warmth and coverage to any outfit. Choose a neutral color that can be easily mixed and matched with various pieces in your capsule wardrobe. The Cozy as Can Be cardigan will keep you cozy and chic this fall!

    Accessories:

    • The Versatile Scarf: A large scarf can be worn in many ways, adding a pop of color or pattern to any outfit. Wrap it around your neck or shoulders for added coverage and a touch of elegance.
    • Statement Belts: Belts can cinch your waist and create a flattering silhouette. Choose a wider belt to cover more midsection area and add a touch of style.
    • Hair Accessories: Headbands, hair scarves, hats, clips, and picks can add personality to your outfit, so don't be afraid to accessorize! Just choose pieces that are modest in scale and design.

    Remember: This is just a starting point! The key to a successful capsule wardrobe is choosing high-quality pieces that you love and that fit you well. Don't be afraid to experiment and personalize your capsule wardrobe to reflect your unique style!
