10 Modest But Comfortable Outfits To Wear This Summer
Most outfits for summer tend to be just a little too revealing for those of us who prefer to cover up and keep things modest. With that said, it can also be quite difficult to find the right types of clothes that serve our modest needs, yet are comfortable enough for the hot, summer days – but not if you know exactly where to look! Here are 10 modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer!
1) Short-sleeved maxi dress and denim jacket.
One thing I hate having to do is wear layers of clothes just to keep myself properly covered up! I wear the hijab, which means that if I decide to throw on a pretty but sleeveless maxi dress, I have to either wear a long-sleeved body underneath it (horrible idea for the summer) or a nice, denim jacket over it. Thankfully, I can go with the jacket, which always leaves me with enough room to breath and stay cool as a cucumber! This is for sure one of my favourite go-to modest but comfortable outfits for the summer.
2) Long-sleeved, cool fabric floral maxi dress.
Floral print isn’t for everyone, but I definitely have a thing for it, especially for the jolly spring and summer months! A long-sleeved floral dress that is made from cool, breathable fabric certainly tops the list for modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer. It’s so ladylike and feminine, and the best thing about it is that it requires minimal effort when it comes to jewellery and accessorising. Just pop on some cute earrings, a pair of comfortable sandals and a messenger bag or handbag of your choice – and you’re good to go!
3) Cute, knee-length dress or button-up top with skinny jeans, jeggings or trousers.
Most would pair a knee-length dress with a pair of leggings, tights, or just, well, their bare legs – which is modest enough if you’re not wearing a hijab, but not quite modest if you are! For that reason, I tend to go for either skinny jeans, jeggings, or straight-leg trousers if I decide to wear a pretty little knee-length dress. It’s feminine and yet one of the most modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer!
4) Denim dungaree with Converse.
Not only is this one of the best modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer, it’s also extremely casual and cute! I’ve never worn a dungaree (at least not as a grown up) so this outfit has given me some awesome ideas – maybe when I’m brave enough…just maybe. Mind you, Converse are very easily and comfortably worn during British summer, so you can rock them all you want!
I would pair something like this with a long-sleeved striped top underneath it:
5) Casual and comfortable kaftan.
Yes! I love kaftans. A casual, modern twist to a gorgeous kaftan is beyond perfect when you’re looking for modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer. They also add a very exotic touch to your outfit and best of all – they cover everything! I’m obsessed with stripes, and I like my kaftans to serve my obsession! Something like this would be perfect:
6) Elegant blouse and maxi skirt.
This is one of the most classically modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer. I love classic, timeless elegance and a feminine blouse paired with an elegant pleated skirt like this one is a stunning choice if you’re into very ladylike fashion. It isn’t the most casual of outfits, I’ll admit! But it is a fantastic option for those more formal, sophisticated occasions; not to mention the contrasting combination of the soft dusky pink or fair peach with the more rugged brown or tan leather is simply beautiful.
7) Gorgeous, airy kimono with wide-leg jeans.
This combo is one of my favourite modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer. It’s light and airy yet a little dressy and well put-together. Just like kaftans, I don’t think kimonos will ever go out of style and they’re a must-have in your wardrobe, particularly for the warmer months. I tend to get really bored with skinny jeans, so a wide-leg pair like these ones are perfect and pair beautifully with the kimono:
8) Classic jumpsuit.
Seriously, how gorgeous is this outfit?! Elegant, chic and summery, it definitely tops the list of modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer! (Oh and look, we have another stunning kimono here, too!)
9) All-ivory trouser suit.
Not casual or for everyday, but it’s definitely comfortable – and modest! This all-ivory trouser suit is perfect for almost any type of formal occasion and adds a touch of masculinity, without sacrificing femininity (if that makes any sense). Definitely one of the most modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer.
10) Light vest, plain blouse and jeans.
I think it’s safe to say that no other shade of clothing or whatever else is as safe and as cooling in the summer as good, plain white. This gorgeous long vest with blue detailing, paired with dark blue jeans and plain white blouse is absolutely stunning, and the shoes, grey scarf and simple but elegant jewellery definitely add that glamorous ‘wow’ factor and make it one of the prettiest modest but comfortable outfits to wear this summer!
