The term modest fashion or modest dressing refers to a fashion trend in women of wearing less skin-revealing clothes, specially in a way that satisfies their spiritual and stylistic requirements for reasons of faith, religion or personal preference.
The exact interpretation of ‘modest’ varies across culture and countries. There is no interpretation as it is influenced by sociocultural characteristics of each individual.
Beyond the various interpretations, we all agree on the idea that modest fashion means loose clothing, comfortable dressing and covering of the body according to a person’s own comfort.

The term ‘modest’ may have varied interpretation across religious boundaries and even within them. For example, many Christian and Muslim women cover their hair, with Christian women wearing head coverings and Muslim women wearing hijab. Modest fashion across religions express consensus that it should not be experienced as a limiting factor in style.
Brands are churning out designs and collections that an orthodox religious person can wear in style. The Style Modesto, Dolce and Gabana, H&M to mention a few names are some that have entered the modest fashion segment, making clothes that cover most part of the body while allowing women to experiment with the latest trends.
