I'm a Modest Dresser, Here's Everything I'm Eyeing at Zara Right Now

by Yusra Siddiqui

Shopping for modest clothing has always been a tad difficult, but if there's one store that continues to have my back, it's Zara. I still remember walking through its doors back when I was in high school and felt as if I had hit the jackpot when I found a plethora of key layering essentials that would make getting dressed in the morning much easier. Flash forward to today, the retailer's stock is better than ever—especially with their fall collections rolling into the stores. Think oversized blazers, chunky cardigans, and wide-leg trousers galore. Basically, everything you need for the colder temperatures, but also a modest dresser's gold mine.

Now I do love Zara, but I also know that the site can be a tad overwhelming to navigate, so I've decided to do the job for you and provide an edit of pieces that are not only trend-forward but modest fashion friendly. Even if you don't consider yourself a modest dresser, there will be something in this list you'll consider adding to your cart this fall. Keep scrolling to see the 25 Zara items I have on my wishlist right now.
