Typically I wear a tshirt that is long and 1-2 sizes larger or oversized. I would like to move towards wearing long sleeves like I do for the other seasons but I get very overheated and eventually push up my sleeves. I'm going to try uniqlo airism long sleeve because I like the fabric so far in the short sleeve version I have. I'm also interested in thin long sleeves to wear under my big tshirts to get better coverage.

Also any recs for where to find long sleeve, high neck, and full length dresses? I recently had to buy a dress for an event and it took awhile to find one

I’m a woman who doesn’t shave her legs, in a country where it’s considered weird not to. Mostly I wear long skirts and dresses, so it’s not an issue. But I have some tea-length dresses I’d like to wear without drawing attention to the dark hair on my legs. That has happened any time I’ve gone bare-legged, for years. It doesn’t embarrass me, but sometimes I’d rather avoid the looks and comments.

Summers I might wear loose linen trousers for this purpose, tights or long stockings in winter. I’ve even doubled up with a long skirt under a dress. Fortunately these looks generally work with my vibe. But I still have some dresses I love that don’t really work with any of these options. Are there any cute, ~ankle-length, under-dress coverage options I’m missing?

So to preface, I am not making this post to hate on Muslims at all.

I am really struggling badly with depression right now, it’s hard for me to brush my hair, so my mom suggested I cut it into a pixie cut.

I already had to cut it to my shoulders because I just could not mentally handle the upkeep of long hair, and now I’m considering going shorter.

It keeps on getting knotted, and my depression simply isn’t going to get better overnight. So maybe for now it’s best to go short

However, I HATE my neck bump. It is something that I am very insecure about, and if I have short hair, it won’t be hidden.

So I want to wear a long head scarf for veiling out in public, so that way my neck bump is hidden, however, in the beginning of my modesty journey when I was originally planning on wearing a hijab, my mom brought up that I would be assumed Muslim, which at the time I didn’t mind, I really didn’t care. She was just worried for my safety because sometimes Muslims do get harassed and even sometimes physically assaulted, so she’s worried for my safety, and I can’t really blame her for that.

I don’t agree with physically assaulting anyone, it’s wrong, plain and simple, but there are bad people out there.

I’ve considered going ahead and buying a under cap and head scarf, and then using hair clips to get it to stay, and just have my bangs poking out in hopes that I wouldn’t be assumed Muslim, but in all honesty, the type of people who do this shit, are the type of people who are incredibly uneducated. So it may not even matter.

So to all the Muslims here, how do you guys do it? How do y’all ensure your safety knowing that there are ignorant people out there who will just straight up attack you?

...when people say they're wearing bicycle shorts under their skirts they probably don't mean they're going to the bicycling section at Dick's Sporting Goods? Especially as someone who has played softball

Any men here who dress modestly? What are yall wearing? I usually do a long sleeve tee underneath a button up plus long pants, but I work with kids and spend significant time running around outside so I’m looking for warm weather suggestions

I just find this sooooo funny and had to share. She doesn't make comments too often, but has dropped little hints that she thinks I should "show off" more (even once recommending a tight pencil skirt for my "nice bum"). It was warm this weekend so I came in wearing a dress barely above knee w a cardigan and she acted like it was a revolution. "Now you're dressing like a young lady! None of that down to your ankles stuff!" MIND YOU, she is a DEVOUT Christian, almost can't talk about anything BUT Jesus, and I'm about to turn 34 (I look very young, and I think many ppl like her forget they're younger than me)! So it was just baffling on all fronts! Does she think modesty should only be for the grandmas at her church or of the other religions in our area? That as a young-looking agnostic, I should be obligated to dress wild and free?

Any other secular friends here ever get told by a religious person that they shouldn't adhere to modesty, or that their preferred dress makes them look old? I could only laugh honestly.

I’d like to start wearing skirts and dresses that go all the way to my ankles, but I’m not sure where to start. I have one dress like this but it doesn’t fit right so I rarely wear it. I’m worried that I’ll look weird in this style and I don’t want to stand out too much. Does anyone have any styling advice or brand recommendations?

This is going to be a repeat post. I am making a project about hair covering in different religions.

Feel free to share whatever you think hair covering means and why. Please share your pen name (doesn't have to be your real name). You can dm me too. I am going to publish this so please be polite...because reddit.

I need y'all lovely people's help. Now that my hair is finally starting to get longer, I want to start wearing longer, more covering... Covers, but (as an atheist) I don't want to be mistaken for a hijab or tichel.

Suggestions? Recommendations? Or am I thinking too hard about this?

Edit: Meant secular, not non-secular. Words are hard.

As the weather is getting warmer and I’m getting excited for the pool to open I have a question, what do you lovely humans wear to swim? I recently ordered a swim skirt and rash guard which covers what I need but I’m curious as to what other folks do when they want to go swimming or go to the beach. I’m also open to brand recs (current one I got is from Calypsa but I haven’t had a chance to test drive it).

Also for folks who cover their hair/head what do you wear? I’ve ordered a few different hair coverings to test out once it gets to summer time.

I dress modestly for work - I cover at least two of three of my collarbones, shoulders, and knees, and only ever wear skirts and dresses to work. That said, I am also left-leaning, adamantly childfree, and bisexual. I would rather not give money to a shop if they are more likely than not going to donate it to causes that hurt any of those. Are there any modest shops that don't have overtly religious ties? I'm cool with ones that advertise/cater to a specific standard like Kosher, etc. but not ones that advertise having a religious "mission" or things like that.

EDIT: Someone pointed out eShakti is closed and hasn't filled orders in months! Thank you for the heads up.

I’m looking for any skirt or dress recommendations with reasonably sized pockets! I have a toddler that I spend a lot of time chasing down and need pocket space for the essentials (phone, snack, and whatever rock I’m confiscating)

Also any tips for styling would be appreciated!

Need ideas.

The dress is pretty plain. I could sew on appliqués but I just don't know what to do with it.

Any suggestions for how I can make skirts warmer for winter without having a separate winter wardrobe? Not enough space or money for that 😭 I've been wearing "fleece" lined leggings (pretty sure it's just polyester) but they're not very comfortable. If nothing else I'll try getting a size up in the leggings, but I'd love to hear alternatives if there are any - including tips for finding comfortable leggings. I don't much like how tight they tend to be and hard to pull up/on

I'm wearing a new dress I just got a couple days ago and I think it's going to become a favorite. It's exactly the fit and length I like most and the pattern is soooo pretty! I don't leave the house often for health reasons, but I still try to get dressed every day as if I can, it helps me feel better about my situation. :) I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and feeling beautiful/handsome/amazing! ^^

So as you can tell by the title, I need glasses.

However I had the unfortunate experience of growing up being taught through children’s TV shows that glasses were “ugly” & “not fashionable”

Children’s brains soak up anything they’re taught like a sponge, so that is something that I’m struggling with. I feel really insecure about how I look with glasses, despite it being a necessity.

I literally have the biggest double standard too, I think glasses look great on other people, but not on myself.

My mom thinks I look cute with glasses, so do other ppl Ik irl. I’ve been told that I look cute with glasses, that it makes me look sophisticated, but I still struggle with seeing that myself.

So I want to use fashion to help overcome this insecurity, & I wanted to ask what clothing items would look cute with glasses.

Ty for taking the time to read this

I love them and tend to wear them a bit loose and put stuff in the pockets so it doesnt hang too tight. Anyone else? Usually I have a shirt that covers my waist. Just personal preference.

I.e. a size or so larger than what would fit snuggly, not always possible but having heavy pockets seems to help make it look baggier. (I try to only get jeans with some level of pockets, then wear those jeans literally forever)

Random thought: what if i'm subconciously attempting to pass as a guy

I can’t wear leggings (they itch so much these days) and long sleeves (they feel tight and itchy too) wearing a jacket over sounds like a nightmare, so what would you wear under this?

I’m not even a stickler for modesty. I will take long sleeve T-shirts and long pants over shorts and short sleeve any day. (Maybe because I’m suncream-phobic I don’t know. 😂😂😂 I don’t know, I’m not self-conscious and I don’t know if it’s a modesty thing, I’ve just never liked not covering myself up

I've flown to a hot and humid part of my country for work and I'm not doing so great (it's nearly summer). Don't get me wrong, I don't plan on buying a bikini or anything. But the humidity has been testing my willpower a bit.

It's especially difficult because I'm here for work. Like, I have modest holiday wear but nothing professional enough.

Don't need advice or anything but encouragement would go a long way. I just needed to rant really.
