Ten Myths of Modest Plus Size Dressing!
Dressing modestly and feeling confident in your clothes is important for everyone, regardless of size. Here are some tips specifically for plus-size women to dispel some common myths and help you feel your best. Plus-size women can dress stylishly, modestly and still look fabulous!
Myth: Modest clothing means wearing baggy, shapeless outfits.
Modest clothing can be stylish and flattering. Tailored pieces, wrap dresses, and structured garments can provide a polished look while maintaining modesty.
Myth: Dark colors are the only slimming option.
Don’t shy away from bright colors or prints! Choose ones that make you feel vibrant and confident. Avoid Big loud prints and choose smaller prints patterns. While dark colors can be slimming, so can well-fitted clothes in lighter shades.
Myth: Plus-size women should avoid prints and patterns.
Prints and patterns can be very flattering. The key is choosing the right size and placement of the pattern. Larger prints can work well, and patterns can be used to highlight or downplay certain areas.
Myth: Modest dressing for plus sizes means long skirts and high-necked tops only.
Modesty is about coverage, not necessarily specific trend or styles. You can wear knee length or midi skirts, high-waisted pants, or tops with interesting details like embroidery, raw edging or reverse seaming and work well for even the curviest woman.
Myth: Plus-size women can’t wear trendy clothes.
Plus-size women can embrace fashion just like anyone else. Many brands offer trendy, plus-size options that are also modest. Don’t feel restricted by fashion rules. Adapt trends to suit your style and comfort level.

Myth: Layering adds bulk and makes plus-size women look bigger.
Smart layering can actually enhance your look. Using layers adds depth to your outfits. Long cardigans, blazers, and duster coats can add structure and length to your ensemble.
Myth: Belts and waist-defining garments are not for plus-size women.
Belts and waist-defining garments can be very flattering. They can highlight your curves and create a balanced silhouette. Ideally, belts should be worn empire style (under the bust) or at the natural waist.
Myth: Plus-size women should avoid clingy fabrics.
The fit and cut of the clothing are more important than the fabric. Close fitting fabrics can look beautiful on plus-size women with the linings and tailoring. Even affordable clothes can look high-end when they fit perfectly.
Myth: Modest plus-size fashion is limited and hard to find.
There are many brands and designers now catering to plus-size, modest fashion. Online shopping has also made it easier to find a wide variety of options. Read reviews and view actual plus size women wearing the clothing to get a good idea of the fit.
Myth: Plus-size women can’t wear fitted clothes.
Embrace your curves! Fitted clothes can look very elegant on plus-size women. The key is ensuring garments are sized right, wearing comfortable shapewear and avoiding skin-tight fabrics.
By understanding and debunking these myths, plus-size women can embrace modest fashion that makes them feel vibrant, confident and stylish. Fashion is personal, and the most important thing is to wear what makes you feel comfortable and happy.

Adding pops of color to modest clothing can be a delightful way to express your personal style while maintaining coverage. Here are some suggestions for infusing vibrant hues into your modest wardrobe:
Bright Accessories:
Use accessories like colorful belts, exotic print scarves, or statement jewelry to introduce shiny metals and vibrant jewel tones to glam up your outfits. Wear a cuff bracelet or a set of stacked bracelets on one wrist. Even small accessories can add a touch of glamour without being overwhelming.
Contrast Colors Outfits:
Create visually interesting outfits by color-blocking with opposing colors on the color wheel. Pair yellow with navy, coral with turquoise, green and reds, etc., pairing them together for a modern and modest look.
Combine Pattern and Textures
If you’re comfortable with it, mix subtle patterns and textures in the same color shades and hues. For example, pair a ribbed baby blue top with a navy plaid skirt, consequently the colors will complement each other.
Layered Color:
Experiment with layering different colored pieces. For example, you can layer a colorful long-sleeved cardigan over a crisp white shirt or neutral blouse. Pair neutral-colored clothing items with one or two vibrant pieces. Generally feel free to experiment with different color combinations to discover what resonates with your personal style.
Print Blouses or Tunics
Buy three quarter tops or tunics in bold print patterns that can be paired with skirts or trousers for a chic and colorful look. Choose trendy animal, tie dye or ethnic prints for a modest and lively look.
Embellished Footwear
Choose flats, heels or boots with embellishments, such as studs, embroidery, or metallic details, to add a dash of style to your footwear. However avoid bright colors as these may overpower the rest of your outfit.
Colored Hats or Headscarves
If you cover your hair, choose bright colors in various shades to add a pop of color to your outfit. Adding color can add an element of fun or in a formal setting an elegant stylish accessory. Coordinating colors with one item in your outfit provides a nice intentional and cohesive appearance.
Remember that personal style is subjective, and these suggestions are just a starting point. Feel free to mix and match these ideas based on your preferences and the occasion. The key is to add elements that make you feel especially confident and express your unique style while maintaining modesty.

Absolutely! You can definitely look cute and attractive without appearing immodest. Being stylish and appealing doesn’t require revealing too much skin or compromising your personal values. Here are some tips to help you achieve a cute and sexy look while maintaining modesty. Embrace your personal style. Find clothing that complements your body shape and makes you feel confident without relying on revealing attire. Everyone has different preferences, so choose outfits that reflect your personality and comfort level.
- Opt for flattering cuts: Clothing that fits well and accentuates your best features can be attractive without showing too much. Tailored outfits can be just as alluring as revealing ones, if not more so.
- Pick the right neckline: High necklines, boat necks, or scoop necks can be elegant and attractive while still covering the décolletage.
- Choose the right length: Opt for dresses, skirts, and shorts that are flattering to your body type. The hemline can hit at the knee or longer to strike a balance between style and modesty.
- Pay attention to fabric: Choose fabrics that drape well and have a flattering silhouette without being overly revealing. Flowy fabrics can create an alluring look without showing too much skin.
- Play with accessories: Accessories can enhance your overall look. Statement jewelry, scarves, or hats can add a touch of personality and style to your outfit.
- Experiment with colors: Vibrant colors can make you stand out and exude confidence without resorting to immodest attire.
- Balance form-fitting with loose-fitting: If you prefer form-fitting clothing, consider pairing it with a looser item to create a balanced and sophisticated look.
- Wear appropriate undergarments: Ensure that you wear appropriate undergarments that provide coverage and support to avoid any accidental exposure.
- Emphasize your best features: Showcasing your favorite features tastefully can add an attractive touch to your outfit. For example, if you like your shoulders, wear a one-shoulder top, or if you love your waist, choose a belted dress.
Remember, confidence is key. When you feel comfortable and confident in your clothing choices, it will naturally reflect in your overall appearance, making you look cute (and even sexy) without compromising your modesty.

Dressing modestly isn’t always easy, especially when there are so many immodest clothing options to choose from and fewer clothing items that will actually cover you up. Luckily, modest fashion can be achievable if you know what basics you need and how to build upon them. Here at Kosher Casual, we have all of these basics and more!
1. Layering Shirts
With a layering shirt, you can transform practically any sleeveless dress or top into a piece of modest clothing that you’ll feel comfortable wearing. A layering shirt can also be the base for fabulous accessories! Owning several in a range of colors ensures that you’ll be able to complete an outfit without having to think too hard about it.
2. Pencil Skirts
Pencil skirts are a modest basic that can be worn all year round. During the warmer months of the year, this basic can be dressed up with a pair of heels or made completely casual with your favorite pair of comfortable sneakers. In the fall and winter throw on some cozy tights and a pair of boots and you’re ready to go!
3. Maxi Skirts
Perhaps the ultimate modest basic, long skirts (or maxi skirts) should be in every modest woman’s closet. A black maxi skirt can work with practically any top, and it’s comfortable enough for most activities. Or switch things up a bit and choose a bold color maxi to wear with a neutral colored top. However you choose to do it, we know you’ll look great!
4. Tunics
A tunic is an essential basic for day-to-day wear. Paired with a pencil skirt, you’re guaranteed a put-together look that you can take from the store to the office, and it will keep you going into the evening without having to change your clothes! Tunics offer a great look without being clingy and the added length provides great coverage of the areas you’d prefer to keep hidden ;).
5. T-Shirt Dresses
If you really want to keep your outfit simple, a t-shirt dress is the way to go. This basic is an entire outfit in one piece! All you have to worry about is deciding on the shoes that are most appropriate for your plans. A knee-length dress can be cool and comfortable during the summer, but paired with a cardigan, leggings, and boots, it will also keep you warm in the winter.
Adding the basics to your modest wardrobe is the best way to ensure that you’re comfortable and covered every day. Check out our best sellers at Kosher Casual.
