Style Inspo Featuring Modest Basics

July 24, 2024 ยท by Andrea Long

A modest capsule wardrobe sounds great in theory, but you may be thinking, "How do I style my modest pieces?". Have no fear, modest fashionista! Today, we are showing you some fun styling options for some of our most beloved basics!

How to Style a Modest LBD

Little black dresses are so versatile, but a modest one takes the cake! Dress it up for the office, dress it down for running errands, or make it fancy for a dinner date. The options are endless! Style an A-line black dress with a fitted blazer in a deep emerald stripe and pair with kitten heel pumps and a small purse. Sweep up those luscious locks in a gold claw clip to complete the look. 

How to Style a Modest Day Dress

Going for a casual look for everyday wear? We've got you covered! You can't go wrong with a simple, striped midi dress in neutral colors. Run errands in style in a cute, throw-on-and-go dress with a cross-body bag and sneakers. Add a ball cap or scarf for a pop of personality. 

How to Style a Ruffled Maxi Skirt

A maxi skirt with ruffles creates an elegant aura with any outfit. You can dress a ruffled maxi skirt up or down by changing footwear and tops. Go for a dressy look with a cream blouse and heels. Don't forget a clutch purse and elegant hair pins!

How to Style a Colored Pencil Skirt

A colored pencil skirt is a statement piece that every lady needs in her modest closet! Dress this pop of color up by pairing with a more neutral colored blouse, coordinating pumps, and a large handbag. Let your accessories be simple, yet elegant, like a simple silk scarf. 

How to Style a Modest Layering Dress

Layering dresses are adorable layered beneath a jacket or worn alone. As the season transitions from summer to fall, layer these dresses with a denim jacket or blazer. Add a sweater and scarf in the cold winter months and a kimono or vest in the warmer spring season. In summer, wear these dresses alone with simple accessories like a slides and a handbag. You'll wear these dresses all year long!

How to Style a Black Pencil Skirt

Go for classic style with a black pencil skirt. Choose one that fits well, hits below the knee, and is comfortable for all day wear. Looking for a very casual vibe? Pair a black pencil skirt with a sweatshirt, sneakers, and a ball cap. Dress it up with a blazer and pumps. Or go for an in-between look with a striped tee, classy flats, sunglasses, and cross-body bag. 

Dress in Modest Style

You can't go wrong with these modest basic pieces. Choose dresses, tops, and skirts that fit your personality, style, and color palette, and you'll be well on your way to rocking that modest closet!
