I consider myself a fashionable dresser.  I care about what I look like when I leave the house and I want my clothing to fit nicely, feel comfortable and look fabulous.  I put on makeup (not just lipstick!) before I leave the house.  And yet, while I am working hard to look my best, I also want to make sure that my clothing reflects my personality- which is why I wear modest clothing.

For me, wearing modest clothes is about expressing who I am as an individual.  I enjoy letting my fashion choices express my individuality rather than letting my physical body serve as the yardstick upon which I am measured.

People often ask me if my modest clothes (not to be confused with hideous clothing) make me sweat in the summer heat.  My answer is both simple and honest- yes, modest clothes can make someone feel warm.  To stay cool I wear a lot of breathable fabrics such as cotton and viscose, which keep me comfortable- and chic.  More importantly, I suspect that under the blazing sun, someone wearing a tank top is probably uncomfortably warm as well.  I know this because I used to wear tank tops and bathing suits.  And shorts and short-sleeved T-shirts.  And I was hot then as well.  But it’s ok to be hot because it’s the summer.

There is plenty of women’s summer clothing available today that is both modest and trendy.  The best designers appreciate the versatility that modest clothing can add to their summer collection.  You may be surprised by how much is out there that can look fabulous without compromising your modesty.  So take a peek around, enjoy browsing through the diverse women’s summer clothing that is available, and find something that will make you feel both modest and beautiful- because after all, you deserve to look beautiful all year long.
