THE MODEST GIRL’S GUIDE TO LOOKING HOT
By: Avanti Giridharan
Dressing up is a big part of most women’s lives. Many women want to look desirable, but showing a lot of skin isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. There’s a misconception that modest women are frumpy or dowdy. That’s not true! Modest women can look extremely attractive and dress well.
Contrary to popular opinions, modesty is extremely empowering and sexy. After all, eroticism needs mystery, not bare skin to thrive. Modesty adds a touch of allure to a woman which leaves people wondering and wanting more. Dressing modestly allows the focus to be on the real deal: The Personality. It also brings out the inner elegance and grace of a woman.
LOOK HOT WHILE BEING MODEST
Looking hot in modest outfits isn’t very hard. It just requires a few basic steps. Here are some guidelines:
- Color and Prints: Color makes the outfit what it is, and prints give it an extra effect. Classy outfits are always color-coordinated. You can do this by using contrasting colors (Black and White), complementary colors (Pink and Blue) or color-blocking (Black and Neon). Even pastels, monochrome and solid outfits look lovely. Make sure to select those that work for you and match your skin tone. As for prints, they shouldn’t be too loud. Animal and floral prints usually work best, but you can choose your own. Take care to leave other things plain if a part (or even whole) of your outfit is printed. It’s better to not mix multiple prints unless you’re absolutely certain about pulling it off.
- Details: In order to be attractive, you need to be careful about the details. Your outfits should be clean and pressed/steamed without any creases. I’d advise you to invest in good quality clothing that fits you well. It’s important to dress according to your body type so that you can highlight your curves with elegance. Consider getting yourself measured and also resize your clothes if required. Take care to look polished, not sloppy. If the top part of your outfit is loose, then the bottom part should be slightly tighter and vice-versa. You can make use of folding and tucking when needed.
- Grooming and Makeup: Grooming can make or break a look. It’s all about taking care of yourself to look your best. Good grooming consists of health, hygiene and maintenance. Having a regular routine is the key to achieving good grooming. Personal hygiene is a must (Clean teeth, good nails, fresh breath, trimmed hair, etc.). Sleeping well, eating healthy and exercising are also included in this.
Sometimes, makeup makes many women feel more confident and beautiful. If you wish, you can wear makeup, but it’s totally alright even if you don’t want to. If you do wear makeup, then keep it tasteful and let it match your attire and skin tone.
- Accessories: Now that the other things have been taken care of, it’s time for the additional details. First of all, dab a bit of perfume and pop a breath mint (if needed). Next, choose a chic bag to go with your ensemble and put your required necessities in it (Wallet, keys, phone etc.).
Jewelry and belts can take your look to a whole new level, so use them well. Belts and sashes are great ways to tuck and fit your clothes, whereas jewelry adds more versatility. I would recommend that you decide on a single piece of jewelry, since too many pieces might clash. The color and type should match the outfit you’ve put on (Printed and ruffled clothes can do with a simple locket, but a solid/plain attire could have statement earrings). If you’d like to keep it classic, you’ll never go wrong with a watch.

When it comes to footwear, the choice is yours. Heels do make a woman seem more attractive, but there are plenty of stylish flats and boots to choose from as well. Just see to it that they’re clean, polished and of high calibre to offer better comfort to your feet.
- Confidence: Last, but definitely not the least, is ‘Confidence.’ Confidence is one of the most important factors in desirability. Remember, sexy is an attitude. Your confidence shows the world that you know your worth and that you value yourself. Nothing is more attractive than a confident woman with standards. When you’re comfortable in your own skin, you’ll carry off any outfit and seem twelve times more attractive in the process.
CLOTHING RECOMMENDATIONS
Quite often, it feels like modest fashion leaves you with limited options. Here are some recommendations that modest women can consider:
- A knee length pencil skirt
- A floral maxi dress/skirt
- A crisp, white shirt
- High waisted, fitted trousers
- Bell bottoms/palazzos
STYLE TIPS
- Scarves and shawls over tops
- Blazers or stoles over tight shirts
- Long shirts (and belt) with tights
And remember, Modest is the Hottest!
