Modesty Tips | Summer Time Modesty

For one thing, layers really help. I know, I know, you're probably thinking, "Why is she talking about layers? It's summer!!". It IS possible to wear layers in summer WITHOUT melting. Yes it's summer, but just because it's hot out, doesn't mean it's skin-showing season. So here are some ideas on how to stay modest, while still keeping cool.

  • Add a light shrug, or shawl to a dress with small or no straps to cover those shoulders.
  • Wear a cami under a back-less shirts,shirts with low necklines,or crop t-shirts.
  • Choose shorts/skirts that are about knee-length.
  • Don't forget about capris!
  • Avoid snugly/skinny/huggy jeans. Of course you're going to get hot in them, they're practically sticking to you!
  • Polo shirts are great! They cover your shoulders, neckline, and midriff!! (providing you chose the right size)
  •  Belts, Belts,Belts!!!  Use them. Instead of walking around all day pulling your pants up, or being afraid to bend over for fear of  "too much" showing.
  • And last, but not least, test yourself in the mirror before going out. Twist,turn,lift up your hands,bend,sit, lean over,etc. Make sure nothing droops,sags,slides,drops,snaps,or raises to reveal more than you are comfortable with.
  • OK, this is the last one............Have a awesome summer!!!!
