I'm a Modest Dresser, and I'll Certainly Be Copying These 9 Summer 'Fits
To many, modest dressing in the summer may seem like an oxymoron. I get it—when the temperatures have surpassed 90°, no amount of clothing feels right. But those of us who adhere to a modest lifestyle have learned how to feel cool and simultaneously look chic, even in the middle of the summer. But sometimes, I have days when I struggle a bit to put outfits together, which is why I have an ongoing mood board where I'm always adding looks I want to re-create.
Summer dressing is hard for many, so I've shared my favorite looks below so you can join in with these fresh outfits. Even if you aren't a modest dresser, the ideas below are worth considering.

@sallyomoDespite never considering myself a preppy person, I can't get enough of polished ensembles like this one. From the crisp poplin shirt to the coordinating vest and trousers, what is there not to love about this?

@monikhI'm always reluctant to clash prints, but this outfit has me ready to take the plunge. Printed maxi dresses can get repetitive, so I love this take on mixing prints with a maxi skirt.

@salmajjEven in the summertime, I can't resist a blazer. To keep cool, opt for one that's light in color and fabric.

@jen_wondersYes, another blazer look because one is just never enough. A full-on suiting look may come off too autumnal, but this cropped version seems perfect for this season. The strappy sandals and loose tank just seal the deal.

@sincerelytahiryThere's been an influx of plissé pieces on the market, and I'm not mad about it. While I only own a black plissé set, this outfit has convinced me to add a light-colored one to my wardrobe for summer. The colorful satin scarf adds the finishing touch.

@nooreButton-downs are my savior in the summer, so I'm always looking for new ways to style them. This camp-style shirt over a maxi skirt just makes complete sense, and I'm surprised I've never put the two modest pieces together.

@modestmira_I don't have my next vacation planned yet, but I know this will be one of the looks I pack.

@smythsistersLoose trousers look great with fitted tops, but I think they look even better with comfy T-shirts. Comfortable, classic, and chic—this look has the trifecta.

@annelauremaisWhile many of my saved looks are neutral, I'm not afraid of a pop of color. Everyone owns a pair of straight-leg denim, and a fun-colored shirt is an easy addition that looks so good.
