As the conversation around modest fashion heats up, more and more women are getting vocal about their style choices, showing us that modesty isn’t just about adhering to traditional norms—it’s also about personal preference for less skin on show. This fresh outlook is spicing up the fashion scene, especially with the surge in street-style that leans towards modesty. When you take a step back to scope out the broader street style landscape, you’ll spot plenty of outfits that are all about the cover-up—think long button-ups, oversized tees, baggy trousers, cargos, and layers upon layers that are more about the fashion statement than showing skin. It’s clear that even the trend-savvy Gen Z crowd is all in on layering as a chic way to keep it modest. If you’re on the hunt for some hip, modest streetwear options, there are loads of brands stepping up with cool offerings.
