(Newswire.net — October 5, 2016) — Some believe that modest style clothing is meant to cover up every inch of a body; others consider modest clothes to be elegant and sophisticated. The first chooses this way of dressing for religious reasons; others just prefer to follow the latest trends in fashion. Famous designers compete with each other to create modest clothing that are stylish and enhance beauty. Numerous boutiques offer customized affordable modest dresses for various festive occasions like prom, parties, cocktail parties, dinner and other celebrations.

It is difficult to remain indifferent to this style when the Duchess of Cambridge inspires everyone with her stunning modest outfits every time she makes a public appearance. Another reason to shop for conservative items of clothing is travelling. Indeed, there are countries in which you won’t be able to avoid dressing modestly. Here are some essential guidelines for conscious and respectful travelers.

  • One may think that modest dresses would be number one on the list of essential modest clothing when traveling abroad. Indeed, you already have tops and bottoms which save time in creating outfits. Nevertheless, dresses are not a must-have when travelling to conservative countries. A Scarf is a must when traveling abroad, especially to Egypt, Emirates, Gambia, and India. It should go with you in your purse or backpack so you are always prepared. Then you won’t have to think about the way you’re dressed when you visit a religious place, such as a temple, mosque, and church. A scarf will easily cover up your hair, shoulders and even arms. More than that, in windy weather it will keep you warm and cozy in any country.
  • A maxi skirt is the second essential element of a female traveler’s basic wardrobe. In the heat, you can be very comfortable in a long skirt, and you’ll never get unwanted attention. Maxi skirts also conform to the dress requirements in Muslim countries. Together with a top that covers your shoulders and a light cardigan a maxi dress will look not only modest but also stylish. If you add a scarf, you’ve created an excellent layered look.
  • And at last a modest dress itself. The perfect dress that fits well is the secret to looking good in any setting in any country. In choosing the perfect dress for traveling to Muslims countries, consider choosing a simple cotton dress. A cotton dress will keep you cool in the summer heat. Another advantage of a simple modest dress is that it will be easy to harmonize it with some jewelry, a jacket or cardigan and if the weather is cold it can be worn with leggings.

You’ll always be dressed appropriately if these items of modest clothing are incorporated in your packing list.
