Feeling a little warm? The best modest outfits for summer should be all about covering up, but that doesn't mean you need to hide under a bundle of clothes and perspire! Modest wear for hot weather can be hip and cool too—not literally, but figuratively!

Why waste all of that fab fashion sense and bury yourself under layers that don’t show off your fun and quirky side? Check out our fashion hacks on the most conservative outfits for the warm season that will still bring out the fashionista in you:

1. Modest outfits for summer: go white

The all white ensemble goodness of the latest abaya designs these days are making waves in the industry, and for good reason! Modest clothing for summer means keeping nice and cool despite the warm weather raging on outside, and white abayas not only provide that cool and comfy feel, but they also look absolutely fabulous no matter where you’re headed off to.

Just think: your white abaya will keep your fashion game on point when you’re killing it at the office or when you’re running out to do errands in the summertime weather, making it the perfect modest clothes option during the season. Why should you settle for being a quivering mess when you can be comfy all throughout the summer?

Here’s another nifty pro to white abayas: they not only make for the ideal choice for modest ensembles for hot weather, but they also add instant elegance for both indoor and outdoor events. You can totally be the star of the show at evening occasions as well—why shouldn’t a fashion diva be cool and comfortable underneath, right?

White abayas come in floor-length cuts, gowns, and frock styles, so you have plenty of options to choose from when you're picking out the trendiest designs online out there. For instance, this Chinois Abaya made from lightweight crepe also comes with floral details on its back for a pop of colour that is perfect for summer.

 2. Modest wear for hot weather: don’t forget to accessorise 

The tendency of throwing on conservative attire for winter all willy-nilly is that we often end up with a whole bunch of layers that hide our fabulousness under layers and layers of fabric. Modest wear for hot weather shouldn’t have to be unflattering! If you don’t have the option of reducing layers, you can always up the ante with the right accessories under your belt.

For example, you can opt for chic clutches, hip earrings, and statement bracelets. Break up your overall silhouette with a matching belt to add some dimension to an open abaya. You can also pair your conservative outfits for warm seasons with cute handbags or killer heels. Just remember not to go overboard with the bling or you might end up looking like a Christmas tree—we love the holidays, but that doesn’t mean you have to literally look the part! 

This Light Grey Open Abaya with Embroidered Flowers features a lightweight material that can keep you covered up while you brave the heat, but it could also be dressed up to look elegant and sophisticated as you gear up for a luxurious night out. You can wear this to special occasions as your conservative attire for summer with its unique 3D embroidered flowers. Top it off with your fave hijab for an unforgettable modest ensemble for the warm weather.

3. Conservative outfits for warm season: open front abayas 

Before you protest about how warm it can get when you’re wearing an open abaya as your modest clothing for summer think about the clothing that you actually wear underneath. Open abayas make fabulous outerwear when you need to layer up without sacrificing your fashionable get-up under the fabric. Modest clothes for summertime don’t have to be all closed and zipped up all the time, after all! You can still strut your stuff as long as you pick lighter fabrics and thinner top-and-bottom combos under your outerwear. 

The beauty of open front abayas as your modest outfits for summer is that you can pair them with practically anything you want underneath. You can choose to wear long dresses, casual jeans, tucked shirts, or even formalwear. You can also use long coats as your modest wear for hot weather—pair this with those killer heels you’ve been hiding in your closet and you’ll definitely be the talk of the town and the life of the party! 

Who says conservative outfits for hot seasons have to be dull and uninteresting? Keep up with the latest trends with this Silver Abaya. It features hidden buttons on the front so you have the option to wear it open or closed for the ultimate versatility. Just remember to pick the right size for you on the sizing chart so that the modest clothes fit perfectly whether you’re freezing during the wintertime or at the height of summer.

4. Modest clothing for summer: colour your life

Finally, the coolest modest ensemble for warm weather needs to be chic when it comes to bursts of colour and lively shades. You don’t have to stick to boring hues, either—you can opt for plum, navy, burgundy, beige, and classic black! Top your overall look with statement mixed textures and fabrics and your conservative attire for summer will be good to go.

If you’re already covered up underneath and you just need an extra layer for a little oomph, this Rachel Abaya is the perfect outerwear that brings a pop of colour to any weather. The knitted fabric on the side also elevates its unique factor during the unpredictable weather in the UK.
