May 31, 2024 ยท by Andrea Long
Summer is here, and with it comes a flurry of exciting events: weddings, garden parties, outdoor concerts, conferences, church camps, and more. But finding an outfit that feels both stylish and comfortable can be a challenge, especially if you prefer a more modest approach to fashion.
Fear not! This guide will help you navigate the world of summer events with confidence and grace, showcasing elegant and modest options for various occasions.
Key Pieces for Your Modest Summer Wardrobe:
- Maxi Dresses: Flowy and versatile, maxi dresses are a summer staple. Choose one with a high neckline and empire waistline for a flattering silhouette. Pair it with a denim jacket or cardigan for cooler evenings. You can't go wrong with the Sunhat Soiree dress! This tropical printed maxi is so fun for any summer event.
- Midi Skirts: A stylish and elegant alternative to shorts, midi skirts offer plenty of coverage while remaining cool and comfortable. Opt for lightweight fabrics like linen or cotton and pair them with a blouse or t-shirt.
- Midi Dresses: Likewise, midi dresses are lightweight and the perfect length for modesty and comfort. Choose fun, summery prints like florals or lemons (hello Tarts & Lemonade dress!) and dress your midi dress up or down, depending on the occasion!
- Modest Athleisure: Summer is the season for outdoor activities like picnics, beach days, vacations, and church youth camps. The balance of looking stylish while staying cool and comfy is often precarious. Modest athletic dresses and skirts or modest swimwear come in handy for long, hot summer days. Stay cool and still look cute in the Watercolor Waves swim set (top & skirt)!
Of course, summer activities beg the age-old question for us ladies... What should I wear?! We've got you covered with an outfit for every event this summer!
