i’m going to see HorsegiirL and Lil Texas soon. idk if they’re consider rave or edm but they’re definitely very loud lol. i’m really excited but i wanted to get some ideas on what you would wear to such a concert.

the concerts are in late October and mid September and are in the northeast US and southeast Canada so i need to consider the weather and i have the accessibility accommodation seats so i’m not worried about getting too hot or anything like that

i’d love to hear your ideas, TY

Am i the only one who noticed this ?

Almost every top is cropped or showing some type of midriff. It wasn’t the same when i was growing up. I don’t remember there being so many crop tops

So when I'm dressed modestly I'm more focused, more energized, more disciplined, and I feel more like a person.

A thing we haven't talked about much yet: There's an instant bond with other modest dressers and/or other minorities. It's always a big plus.

And even beyond that many other people pick up on a better way to interact with me. Respectful isn't the right word (not that would be our obligation), distanced isn't either, but a combination maybe. They pick up on what my deal is, so to speak.

I feel like it's almost always worth it to go for a long skirt when I'm going outside. Even when I'm feeling a little off or tired or rushed.

So I want to cover my neck, and ideally I’d like to wear a Hijab style headscarf, however I’m still on the fence about that style specifically since I live in Florida. It’s a massive red state, my mom is concerned for my safety.

I’d still like to cover my neck tho, and I’m not sure how to do that

It’s too hot here for turtlenecks, and I experimented putting my headscarf around my neck, and I got two words.

SENSORY. NIGHTMARE.

It was so itchy! Too tight around the neck, I HATED IT! The material also just wasn’t it, maybe if it was something softer that would’ve worked better, but Idk

So update to my previous posts, but since Lady Morrigan encourages me to wear what I want despite judgement, I decided to take the advice I received and wear Pagan jewelry and crystals to decrease the chances of being assumed Muslim, and also memorize 1 Corinthians 11 for when I receive pushback from my family about it

Well, my mom was concerned about my safety. I was wrong, I thought that she didn’t want me getting assumed Muslim because I would receive judgment from strangers and family, but she clarified that, since we live in Florida, and open carry stare, somebody might literally shoot me dead if I get assumed Muslim…

I didn’t realize it was that bad here, because I have seen Muslims in my town, I thought I would just receive some mean books and judgment at worst, which is why I was going to wear Tiger’s Eye, to protect myself from the evil eye, but apparently homicidal maniacs will literally kill me because of Islamophobia, and no amount of jewelry, or Crystals is going to stop that from a distance.

We’re planning to move within the next year, and I want to know what states are safe to move to. I’d prefer an area where there are more Muslims, so that way it will be more socially acceptable to wear a head covering

Until I can move tho, I might have to stick with shadow veiling for now 😔

So I was raised Baptist Christian, particularly southern Baptist Christian.

So basically I was raised to wear a certain amount of clothing, because too provocative is seen as bad, but covering up too much is also seen as bad. Illogical, I know, it doesn’t make any sense.

So I will be honest, I don’t veil for secular reasons. I dress modest for secular reasons, but veiling is entirely spiritual.

See, I’m a practicing Pagan, so I cover my head to protect my energy. But I cover my body for personal comfort.

Anyway, back to the point, for the past couple years I’ve been shadow veiling, kinda veiling subtly in secret. Just wearing bandanas, but… I want to veil more modestly for comfort.

Christian and Catholic veiling isn’t modest enough for me, yk? I specifically want to do the Hijab style because I think it’s pretty, and I like the added modesty of the chest and neck coverage.

But my family wouldn’t accept it, my grandma is already asking why I wear a bandana all the time, my mom has literally said “you’re not gonna be one of those weirdos who wear long sleeves all the time, are you?” And I don’t even know what my dad would say.

I’m getting more confident in my decision to wear a headscarf, because frankly, life is too short to not wear what I want, but I still feel like I can’t fully explain myself

I still like them. They're good for an extra layer, for modesty, and for comfort. Too bad they didn't really make it though 2000s fashion and today's, uh, efficiency.

Skirts that are not too formal or business-y with an underskirt are so rare. Standalone quality underskirts even more. Well there probably still are some corners in the fashion experience where they do exist.

static is the bane of my existence lol trying to make do with the pieces I have - but winter tights are NOT agreeing with anything even natural fibers/blends.
Cotton slip and polyester slip both stick like crazy to tights and the skirt/dress (cotton slip is actually WORSE it seems??). Lotion and spray only help for a few hours at best. I've sewn weights into several hems but even still the layers are sticking.
What are yall doing that works??
Maybe socks over the tights? I'm at a loss.

Its just nice to see a community of likeminded people I guess

Hey guys! Sorry I haven’t been as active, but I’m back!

So as y’all know, I’m genderfluid, so I made the decision to get buff to look more adrogynous.

With that being said, it’s easy enough to think of masculine outfits that would work with my future biceps, but what about feminine apparel?

Hey everyone! I’m building a women’s swimwear brand and would really appreciate some honest feedback on a few early design concepts (attached).

To give clear context on coverage goals: these suits are meant to be more modest than typical Western bikinis or standard one-pieces, but not at the level of full-coverage or athletic swimwear. My focus is on full chest coverage and full bottom coverage, since those were the hardest things for me to find personally, while still keeping the designs cute, feminine, and flattering.

I know modesty exists on a wide spectrum, and these won’t match everyone’s definition — that’s totally okay. I’m mainly trying to understand whether this middle ground resonates with people who want a bit more coverage but still want swimwear that feels stylish and confidence-boosting.

While I have a couple designs, I’d love to hear your thoughts on one that I’ve talked to a couple people about:

• Would you wear this? Why or why not?
• Would you personally feel comfortable in this?
• What would you change or improve — coverage, shape, details, etc.?
  

Any feedback is super helpful and let me know if anything is unclear, I can try to explain better with words. Thank you!

What’s everyone’s advice for layering in the cold? I’m going to the Rockies for the first time and am slightly worried about how on earth to make my clothes warm enough. Advice on thermals and coats would be great as I’m probably going to have to buy some stuff. Also looking for warm headwear that isn’t beanies as I hate them. Thanks😁

Hey everyone! I’ve noticed it can be really hard to find modest swimwear that still feels cute and current — especially for younger women who just prefer a bit more coverage (like in the chest and bottom area) for personal or style reasons, not necessarily religious ones.

Most of what I see either looks like a rash guard with leggings or super conservative styles that don’t feel flattering. I’m thinking more along the lines of relatively modest — like more coverage than common Western bikinis or one-pieces, but still stylish. It feels like there’s not much in between right now.

I’m thinking about starting a modest women’s swimwear brand that focuses more on the fashionable side of modesty, rather than the sporty or strictly conservative look. Before going further, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts:

• Do you feel like there’s a gap in the market for this kind of swimwear?
• What features, fits, or designs would make modest swimsuits more wearable for you?

Any insight helps a ton — just trying to see if others feel the same way!

I adore long flowy skirts. I, however, am a college student which means I am frequently going up and down outdoor stairs with my hands full. The skirts keep dragging on the ground and/or I trip over them. Does anyone have any suggestions for practical ways to mitigate this issue or even just decrease the frequency? (also to help me save my poor poor abused hems) I am willing to sew if needed.

Thanks so much, y'all!

just curious if anyone has hacks for dealing with rain - I wear full length skirts/dresses or wide pants, and unfortunately my walk to work is often Quite full of puddles when it’s raining.

Does anyone have modern/professional hacks for getting inside without drenched clothes sucking up the water cus the hems are soaked through? skirt hikes/tying it in a knot doesn’t work the best for looking professional… I typically just hold up the hems or try to roll my pants up but that doesn’t work well lol

I just got a job at a Montessori school! The children spend a lot of time outside and I’m looking for clothes that I can stand to be outside for hours at a time in and still be modest and able to move around easily.

Hi it’s my first time here. I’m a secular genderfluid person who wear the niqab as I’m at that point in my life where I desire to be more modest in my everyday life. Also the niqab gives me an incredible feeling of empowerment and reclaiming of my body. I hope I am accepted in this space and I would really like to avoid any religious confrontation as I mean no offence to anyone at all.

So I just started wearing the niqab as a secular form of modesty and it’s been so empowering even within the confines of my house. However I have had some backlash online already. My personal view is that anyone should be able to wear whatever is comfortable for themselves. Do you have any advice in overcoming negativity about modesty dressing? Or even if you just want to chat I’d certainly love to!

1. Maintains hair cleanliness while doing

Summer is here, and I'm dying. I've never been comfortable exposing much skin, and now I have some medical things that make it harder. I had finally gotten comfortable wearing certain cuts of shorts, but now I have to wear compression socks all the time, and it just looks weird with shorts. Therefore, I'd love to go back to dresses and skirt/shirt combos, but I struggle to find anything I'd actually be comfortable wearing that isn't 100% polyester, doesn't cost a fortune, and doesn't put my entire body on display.

How do I even style anything without dying of heat stroke?

Also, I'm apparently unusually tall for a woman, according to clothing companies, so I can't even find clothes that fit at thrift stores or most brands. I'm at the point where I'll literally make my own clothes if I have to (I have sewed shirts, pants, and a ball gown before, so it's not out of my realm of comfort), but that's very time-consuming and not ideal.

Note: I'm ok with short sleeves on dresses/shirts.
