MODEST FASHION: Beauty & self-expression in simplicity
"True beauty is born through our actions and aspirations and in the kindness we offer to others."
– Alek Wek
In the world of fashion, especially today, trends come and go, but some styles are here to stay. The modest approach to fashion is one of timeless trends, rooted in the idea that style doesn't have to compromise coverage or comfort and it's more about celebrating individuality while respecting cultural and personal values. At Son de Flor, we offer a wide variety of clothing that is feminine and speaks elegance through simplicity, quality, and thoughtful design. To celebrate it, we handpicked a few of our favourite modest fashion looks along with some tips on how to elevate your everyday outfits with just a couple of simple details.
Beauty in the layers
Modest fashion is far from plain or tasteless! While some may think it's a style that has aged over time, it remains prominent in the world of fashion and can easily be modernised with layers. Not only does it keep you warm on breezy days, but it also adds visual interest to your outfit while staying within the bounds of modesty. Try layering with a sweater, vest, jacket, or cardigan, and enjoy the cosiness in style!

Subtle accessories for a big difference
Just because modest style is synonymous with simplicity, it doesn’t mean that you have to pass on accessories. In fact, when done right, it can breathe new life into any outfit that might feel a little bland. Just a few minimal details can make a big difference. For example, belts not only accentuate natural beauty but also add stylish flair. Even such subtle elements can elevate your look and serve as a form of self-expression. Other accessories, such as crossbody bags, scarves or collars, work great as well! And the best part? All of them are probably already laying around somewhere in your wardrobe!

Don’t be afraid to play around!
Repeat after us - modesty is not plain, bland or boring! If you’re in the mood for something bright or whimsy, look for dresses with prints. Prints can be a fun way to make a fashion statement without sacrificing modesty. The key is to balance the print with the rest of your outfit. Pair a bold patterned dress with neutral accessories to keep the focus on the print, or mix and match with complementary patterns if you're feeling adventurous. Remember, modesty in fashion doesn't mean blending in—it's about expressing yourself in a way that feels both stylish and true to your values.

Keep versatility at the top of your priorities
Invest in pieces that can serve more than one purpose! Garments that can be dressed up or down, such as a versatile dress that can be worn to a birthday celebration or a day in the office, will expand your wardrobe's potential. Look for items that offer both comfort and style, allowing you to easily transition from day to night. This way, not only do you get more use out of each piece, but also maintain a modest and chic look for any occasion.
