Is it okay to wear skin coloured tights that are thick?

I really like skirts and I try my best to make sure nothing shows when I wear them but just for extra safety I wanna buy skin coloured tights just so I don't have to buy a pair of white ones and a pair of black ones, will this still be modest or will this be considered me trying to show off?

Non religious coverage

I’m just curious, how many people are here for other reasons than modesty, religion, or sun protection?

What Are Your Guys Thoughts About Covering/Not Covering Arms?

I know modesty is a spectrum for most people but I'm curious, what are your thoughts about arms and modesty? Are they a part to cover or not to cover in your perspectives?

Static?

I’d like to wear skirts more in the fall and winter, but static gets me down. What are some tricks for managing it? I know “natural fibers” is the obvious answer I’m just looking to wear what I have vs. buying a whole bunch of new stuff.

Danya Marou Brand Question

Any experiences buying from this brand?? I fell in love with an abaya of theirs I saw but I never do online shopping so it's a bit of a plunge for me 😭

Shop recommendations for masc/androgynous head coverings in the EU?

Since moving away from my home country, I’ve found it more challenging to find ethically-made head coverings, especially veils, scarves, keffiyehs that are more masculine or androgynous.

I know of some shops, but they’re either all sold out, or source from boycotted countries (like UAE). Any shop recommendations? Shipping within the EU (because otherwise VAT is too expensive).

I’m also fine purchasing scarves in nice designs that aren’t inherently from Muslim sources!

Modest activewear

Hi everyone! I'm looking for recommendations for some modest gym / activewear. I'd love anything that's a full set in pink, as that's my favourite colour! I'm a woman, so preferably no sweatpants, as they're quite a masculine item of clothing. I also want to ask what you think of the viral gilly hicks / Hollister knit set. Is it too curve - defining ? Thank you!

Would it be ok if I still want to veil?

For context I converted to Islam a few years ago it gave me a sense of peace and meaning but left cause of family pressures. Even though I left I’m still a really spiritual person and have been trying to find other faiths to fill that void. Recently me and my husband went to a Buddhist temple and I wore a dress I thought would look nice but used a shawl to make it more modest which made me remember how much I used to love wearing hijab. It made me feel beautiful, protected and feminine ik I can’t go back but I’m thinking if there’s ways I could veil without it being weird or something

Cover head and face?

Is there ways to cover your head and face that aren’t niqab and hijab? I’m not Muslim or a woman and I don’t know what else to use. I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask.

DO NOT order from eShakti!

I just wanted to share my experience here, since I often see eShakti recommended on here as a company with great modest clothing options, and have even recommended them myself in the past.

Sometime in the last year or two, eShakti seems to have gone out of business but has left their website up and accepting new orders.

I have three great dresses I ordered around 2021-2022, but my latest order (July 2024) never arrived. I have emailed and submitted requests for updates through their website and have gotten no reply. Today I called them, and their customer service number is no longer in service.

I did some googling and found a bunch of articles and complaints speculating the company has gone out of business, tons of people have not gotten their orders, they owe tons of money to their vendors, the factories that make their stuff haven't gotten any orders from them in months, and so on. I don't know exactly what is going on, but I have disputed the charge with my bank and strongly recommend no one else order from them!

Re-beginning My Modesty Journey

I used to dress modestly (i.e. higher necklines, no spaghetti straps without something under or over it, covered to the knee or a few inches above, etc.,etc.) but in the past few months I have really gone the opposite direction! It's gotten to the point where I feel uncomfortable dressing modestly when it used to be the exact opposite! Do y'all have any tips on how to transition back into modest dress? TIA!

Modest dress for a mosque visit?

I'm part of a small group visiting a mosque/school. It's kind of an educational field trip/relationship building event with various community organizations, so there will be a tour and conversations but I don't believe there will be any kind of religious services happening.

I'm just looking for ideas on what to wear that would be respectful.

I have a large chest that I feel like I always have trouble with, either cleavage or covering makes them look even bigger, so any ideas on how to handle that are greatly appreciated!

I have a long flowy skirt I love but not sure what to pair it with.
