A wrap dress with relatively loose, draping fabric can also help to modestly conceal curves in a feminine and stylish way. Straight body types, also known as rectangles, have a close balance in width from shoulder to hip but often struggle to create a waistline for a curvy shape. To modestly add curves to this body type, you can select dresses with added details like ruffles, which help to create shape whilst remaining covered up.
Tapered shift dresses will create the illusion of curves in a very understated way and for a bolder look. Even if you want to conceal curves, you still want to modestly flatter your shape so avoid overly loose-fit dresses, which add bulk.
Wrap dresses are an ideal style for an hourglass shape, as well as dresses with both a pencil skirt and an A-line shape. However, there are certain fashion tricks you can use if you choose to make your outfits that touch more modest. Sounds simple, but a camisole can change the way you select certain dresses for your modest style. But, if you layer a simple, chic silk camisole beneath, it enables you to cover your bust a little more, without discarding the dress completely.
If your favorite dress is a touch too slim-fitting for your modest tastes, layer with a cardigan or longline blazer or jacket, worn open. This way, you can instantly hide a little more of your curves without completely covering your entire shape. So you need to find dresses that still flatter your figure and leave you feeling confident and stylish. In fact, keeping covered at the bust and lower half and accentuating your waist, can be an elegant balance of the two ideas. Dresses with high necklines and midi length, A-line skirts sit tightly at the waist, helping to form an hourglass shape in an overtly modest way.
The bust can be covered in a fitted, high-neck dress without loose-fit, over-baring layers of fabric and the derriere can easily be concealed with an A-line or shift-style dress shape. The perfect jacket can also help to conceal a larger derriere and creates a stylish ensemble when paired with a chic, feminine dress.
Concealing this area of your body instantly forms a more elegant look and you can choose either a midi or maxi-length dress to do so. When selecting a midi-length dress, you are able to then opt for a more fitted, pencil or a fit and flare style dress. Every dress can be layered to add an extra touch of glamour to a modest look and the perfect choice can even flatter your shape more when teamed with the right dress.
Crafted in either a thick chiffon or silk satin, this style falls to the floor and is often a blazer-style collar, which you can add to any fitted or shift dress. These flattering styles add extra coverage for a dress, as well as a stylish touch to ensure your outfit stands out. When it comes to layering with jewelry, a statement necklace can often be selected as the key feature of the look.
This draws the attention upwards, away from the bust, and keeps your look on-trend and ultra-contemporary. This olive green goes perfectly with a simple plain white t-shirt.

It is up to you to determine the level of comfort you want to feel. In my experience, the only time I ever feel uncomfortable is when I am dressed inappropriately for the situation I am in. Dressing modestly keeps the power in your hands because you never feel like you are dressed inappropriately. In my experience as a stylist , I have found that the most beautiful, stylish, and best-looking outfits are always elegant.
I have talked about elegance here on the blog and on my YouTube channel at length. What I have not touched upon is the hidden connection between elegance and modesty and how you cannot have an elegant outfit without it being a modest one. Elegant style is oftentimes described as being simple, neat, classic, sophisticated, discerning, and the like.
Culturally, what we wear speaks towards who we are and parts of our character shine through in what we choose to wear every day. When an outfit is tacky, flashy, or over-the-top that speaks towards a spirit of pridefulness. When an outfit is immodest or shows too much skin that speaks towards a spirit of lustfulness. But when an outfit is elegant, that speaks towards a spirit of modesty. An elegant outfit is stylish but not too flashy.
It is simple but not boring either. An elegant outfit is refined, put-together, and always in style. From what I just described, in order to really look elegant, you must be able to have moderation in your looks. Moderation and therefore modesty is at the heart of an elegant outfit.

Her wardrobe was a lot good wool and houndstooth sets, skirts that start at the natural waist and so on. I think men and women should understand that modesty and moderation are things you do for yourself. Not everyone will notice you or care, but the right people will notice, its about having dignity and showing it. Found you on YouTube and I have to say for context that I am new to the elegant lifestyle — I was following school of affluence, intoamillilady, Linda Sandrine etc.
Anyways, my goal is to present myself well as a Christian woman and I was so happy to come across your social media channels! My question is: How can I dress elegantly for my early 20s without sticking out like a sore thumb at university, work etc.? Hi Cheyenne! What I mean by that is, everything we choose to wear is a reflection of who we are. When you dress in a way that respects your beauty and dignity as a child of God you will always look elegant, no matter what.
But, I think that standing out in this way is actually a good thing because it speaks towards our values, not just the designer we are wearing or what our incomes are. In a sense, it is almost like letting your light shine. So, it is inevitable that you will stand out, but instead of shying away from it, embrace it. Your email address will not be published.
