How many types of modest summer dresses are there?
Let's explore the most iconic summer wear dress styles that are essential for any wardrobe.
Modest Sundresses
A modest sundress retains the casual essence of traditional sundresses but offers more coverage. Often crafted from lightweight fabrics like linen or cotton, these dresses may feature a higher neckline and wider straps, or even short sleeves, while maintaining a flowing skirt.
Modest sundresses embrace floral patterns and soft colors, providing a comfortable yet covered option for summer days.
Modest Cover-Up Dresses
A modest cover-up dress is designed to be worn over a swimsuit, providing additional coverage while still being stylish. Ideal for transitions from the beach or pool to other venues like restaurants or shops, these dresses are made from lightweight, quick-drying materials.
They might feature longer lengths, longer sleeves, or a wrap style to ensure full coverage without sacrificing comfort.
Modest Maxi Dresses
The modest maxi dress is a versatile choice for a more refined look. This style typically has a more conservative top, such as a higher neckline or sleeves, paired with a long, flowing skirt that reaches the floor.
For a dressier look, choose modest maxis in solid colors or subtle patterns, possibly adorned with minimal embellishments. Casual options might include modest floral patterns with less exposure.
