Sometimes, it’s hard to know where to start in building a modest wardrobe. When I began looking at my wardrobe from a modest perspective, I was amazed at how few things I actually threw out. The reason is due to the tried-and-true solution of layering.
Because of this simple technique, one can stay true to her style without sacrificing her reputation and morals. By itself, an article of clothing could be seen as immodest, but paired with a jacket, a tank or tunic, it can become a wonderful wardrobe staple for seasons to come.
So let’s start with the basics. Take a gander at your own closet, and see if you own some of these “must haves” for a modest wardrobe:
Colorful tank tops: I like ones that have wider straps, (I use the two-finger width rule for myself). And I also like tank tops that are longer—ones that don’t show my belly when I raise my arms. I use tank tops under blazers and V-neck sweaters all season long. Feel free to wear the new 80’s inspired cropped-tops with a tank top layer underneath. The trend will remain the same, but your integrity will be intact
