I'm a Modest Dresser, and I'll Certainly Be Copying These 10 Summer Outfits

To many, modest dressing in the summer may seem like an oxymoron. I get it—when the temperatures have surpassed 30°, no amount of clothing feels right. But those of us who adhere to a modest lifestyle have learned how to feel cool and simultaneously look chic, even in the middle of the summer. But sometimes, I have days when I struggle a bit to put outfits together, which is why I have an ongoing mood board where I'm always adding looks I want to re-create.

Summer dressing is hard for many, so I've shared my favourite looks below so you can join in with these fresh outfits. Even if you aren't a modest dresser, the ideas below are worth considering.

10 Modest Summer Outfits You Should Copy Immediately

I've always found comfort in a T-shirt dress and sandals during the warmer months, the ease of it means I can go about my day without feeling hot and flustered—the fact it looks so chic is a bonus.

Despite never considering myself a preppy person, I can't get enough of polished ensembles like this one. From the crisp poplin shirt to the coordinating vest and trousers, what is there not to love about this?

3: Printed Blouse + Skirt

I'm always reluctant to clash prints, but this outfit has me ready to take the plunge. Printed maxi dresses can get repetitive, so I love this take on mixing prints with a maxi skirt.

4: Oversized Blazer + Linen Trousers + Chunky Trainers

Even in the summertime, I can't resist a blazer. To keep cool, opt for one that's light in colour and fabric.

Shop the look:

5: Cropped Blazer + Wide-Leg Trousers

Yes, another blazer look because one is just never enough. A full-on suiting look may come off too autumnal, but this cropped version seems perfect for this season. The strappy sandals and loose tank just seal the deal.

Shop the Look:

6: Pleated Top + Trousers

There's been an influx of plissé pieces on the market, and I'm not mad about it. While I only own a black plissé set, this outfit has convinced me to add a light-coloured one to my wardrobe for summer. The colourful satin scarf adds the finishing touch.

Shop the Look:

7: Linen Shirt + Cargo Skirt

Button-downs are my saviour in the summer, so I'm always looking for new ways to style them. This camp-style shirt over a maxi skirt just makes complete sense, and I'm surprised I've never put the two modest pieces together.

Shop the Look:

8: Linen Shirt + Trousers

I don't have my next holiday planned yet, but I know this will be one of the looks I pack.

Shop the Look:

9: Stripped T-shirt + Linen Trousers

Loose trousers look great with fitted tops, but I think they look even better with comfy T-shirts. Comfortable, classic, and chic—this look has the trifecta.

Shop the Look:

10: Oversized Shirt + Boyfriend Jeans

While many of my saved looks are neutral, I'm not afraid of a pop of colour. Everyone owns a pair of straight-leg denim, and a fun-coloured shirt is an easy addition that looks so good.
