1. Best modest clothes UK in white

When you’re thinking about how to make your clothing in UK more modest, you might immediately think of black as your go-to colour. After all, black is not only slimming regardless of your body shape, but it also doesn’t require you to go on a treasure hunt when you’re searching for how to make clothes modest. While we’ll definitely get into black later on, we’ll start you off with something else entirely—wonderful white like this Unique Abaya!

Before you raise an eyebrow and wonder how on earth you can make white work, remember that the best UK modest clothes have the right fabric that won’t show off any exposed skin. The same is true with your white outfits—you have to make sure that your pieces in pristine white aren’t too thin and see-through. But the problem now is how to dress modestly in white that’s covered up and cosy? White clothes often give women the same dilemma—if the fabric isn’t right, it’s easy to give people an unwanted peek at what’s underneath; plus, white often reveals seams underneath, too. 

So, the key to make your clothes modest work in white is to pick the ones that aren’t too body-hugging and have high-quality fabric that won’t expose your skin. To make things even classier, go for minimalist looks like the subtle contrasting stitching of this Unique Abaya for the perfect prim-and-proper look.

2. Conservative clothes UK with lace

Speaking of revealing what’s underneath, you might think that you don’t have any other option but to go with thick, heavy fabrics that will have you burning underneath all that cloth. How to make your clothes modest that are lightweight but still covered up? We’ve got the answer right here with this Blush Abaya with Beige Lace!

Before you do a double-take with the word “lace”, it’s not as raunchy as you might think. If you want to make your clothes modest, you can still work in lace if you make sure that the section that’s see-through isn’t anything too outrageous.  For instance, in this elegant piece, the see-through lace is simply an accent design that elevates the overall level of sophistication in this classy piece, and when you complement that intimate detail with the soft and feminine tint of light blush, you’ll be sure to be the talk of the town in any semi-formal event or evening affair.

3. Sheer modest clothing UK

Since we’re talking about see-through sassiness, we’ve got another unconventional way you can make your conservative UK outfits stand out in the right way, and it’s all about what you’re wearing underneath. If you go for simple white tees and your favorite casual jeans, you can make your outfit even more glamorous with a see-through open abaya in tantalising tulle.

This Black Tulle Open Abaya with Belt makes for one of the best UK modest clothes that not only add depth and dimension to your overall vibe, but also keep things covered up appropriately whether you’re out on a day trip with your best buds or attending a religious event. Who says see-through can’t be part of your 'how to make clothes modest'? We certainly beg to differ! This lovely piece even comes with a matching corded tassel belt, so emphasising your curves and highlighting your waist is as easy as tying that belt around and heading out the door.
