Useful tips on how to dress modestly in the summer without sacrificing comfort and style!
Dressing modestly in the summer can be more challenging, especially now that the heat is more intense due to global warming.
And besides people tend to practice “less clothes, the better” during the summer.
But it doesn’t mean that you have to go with the flow because you can still definitely enjoy the summer without getting half-naked or totally naked!
9 Tips to Dress Modestly in the Summer
Here are some tips so you can still dress modestly in the summer without sacrificing comfort and style.
1. Wear lightweight clothes.
Choose fabrics that are light and breathable like cotton, silk , and linen to help you stay cool and comfortable.
Avoid fabrics like nylon, acrylic, and polyester because they tend to make you even warmer during summer.
2. Choose light-colored clothing.
Light-colored clothing reflect most and absorb very little of the sun’s heat keeping the body cool and comfortable during summer.
And besides, light-colored items are very versatile and easy to mix and match with other pieces on your wardrobe.

3. Choose clothes that cover your body.
I know summer is about enjoying the sun, but it doesn’t mean exposing the body in public.
In fact, it’s good to cover the body to avoid exposure to the harmful and damaging UV rays.
– go for modest dresses – Dresses are the most popular and versatile way to dress modestly during summer. They are very feminine and elegant.
– opt for skirts, capris, and cullotes instead of very short shorts
– go for sleeved tops instead of plunging necklines and skimpy tops
– use a summer scarf or a kimono to cover up

4. Avoid wearing tight clothes.
Tight clothing can cause you to feel hot and sweaty, which is not ideal during the summer months.
Wear loose-fitting clothes that cover your torso but don’t cling to your body, so you can move freely and comfortably.
5. Wear comfortable shoes or sandals.
Comfortable shoes or sandals will help you wade through the heat and walk more easily.
6. Avoid using too much makeup.
Makeup can make you even more hot and sweaty, so make sure to use only necessary products when applying it to your face.
And if you choose to wear makeup, choose light-colored tones that won’t make you look like a clown in the sun.
7. Use sunscreen, sunglasses, and hat.
Sunscreen is essential to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays that can cause skin cancer, wrinkles, and other problems. It is advisable to apply sunscreen even when staying at home.
Also use sunglasses and hat for additional protection and shade.
8. Drink plenty of water.
Drinking plenty of water will help keep you hydrated, which will help you stay cooler and more comfortable.
It’s advisable to drink 8-10 glasses everyday, so, aim for more that 8-10 glasses during the summer days.
9. Dress for comfort, not for fashion.
Don’t fall for the trap of dressing up for fashion and latest trend to impress people, because it won’t do you any good.
Always think about comfort and your personal style when dressing up for summer to keep yourself comfortable, confident, and covered.
