If you are not Muslim you may think that dressing modestly means not being able to look your best. This is not the case as many women can attest to. If you are interested in finding modest Islamic clothing that is both beautiful and which will satisfy any religious requirements you have it may take a bit of creativity but you should be able to create some amazing looks that are both beautiful and on trend.

Many people who are not Muslim think that everyone has to dress the same. They may not realize that there are different levels of coverage that different cultures expect. It is always a good idea to know what you are expected to wear in terms of coverage before you shop. That way you can shop specifically for those items that you will be able to wear freely.

If you are able to choose Western-style garments to dress in rather than needing to wear a jilbab, abaya or other concealing garment, you may find it easier to search for websites and stores that sell "modern modest" garments. These typically have longer hemlines, more generous cuts and complimentary accessories such as scarves and undershirts.

Some shirts are easy to make modest even if they have short sleeves or necklines that may show off a woman's cleavage. Choosing an undershirt in a coordinating color will give you the look you want while still allowing you to feel comfortable and covered up. You may want to choose a plain under shirt in a color that will match other accessories that you are wearing so that you appear polished and coordinated.

There are many skirts available today that have longer hemlines. These often reach below the knee and maxi skirts that reach the ankle are also very popular. Look for long, flowing styles in lighter fabrics that will hang away from the body. If they are very light they will move well when you do and will make it easy for you to take part in many different activities.

For added coverage under a skirt, leggings are a great choice. You should choose which ones you want to wear based on the weather. Heavier fabrics are great when the temperature begins to drop and many are even lined in fleece to help keep you comfortable. While plain cotton will breathe well it may not keep its shape as well as leggings that contain a little bit of Lycra.

Scarves are very popular and so it is not difficult to find options that can be used to cover your hair. Its always nice to be able to see these items and touch them so that you can make sure that the fabric will not be overly slippery and difficult to work with. If you wear a head covering under your scarf you may want to make sure that the colors and patterns work well together.

Websites can be great for finding wardrobe pieces and for seeing how to put them together in various ways. This can be great if you are living in a smaller town or city where there may not be stores offering modest clothing.
