Trending Modest Outfit Ideas for 2025
If, like me, you are “never basic for nobody” then you must always keep one eye out for the latest fashion trend and incorporate it into your wardrobe one way or another before it's too late. And when I talk about fashion trends, I am talking about both the mainstream and modest fashion world. After-all good style is how you mix the two and if you have come across this blog, it means you like to dress modestly and fashionably and you like to make your modest clothes look chic and stylish.
Easier said than done but when you are in a rush in the mornings, we need quick outfit solutions from our wardrobe that we know are up to date that we can quickly throw on. Read on to find what you should be including in your wardrobe in 2025 to keep your modest game strong.
Is it possible to dress modestly and fashionable? Can modest fashion still be chic and stylish?
Absolutely, like I said, it’s all about how well you mix your contemporary fashion pieces with your modest classics in order to dress modestly and fashionable. Dressing modestly does not mean you have to sacrifice style for your personal beliefs and values, in fact you can enhance it. By incorporating a higher neckline and a lower hemline as well as clever layering you can create chic modest looks that everyone will swoon over. Choosing the right types of fabrics, statement jewellery and accessories can elevate any modest outfit old or new.

So, what is the fashion trend for 2025?
- The good news is that oversized loose fitting clothes are super trending for 2025! Yess, I hear you say! They are suitable for every body shape and of course the dream for modest women. I will explain which items you should be looking for in particular further below.
- The optimism of Spring and Summer also brings an array of ditsy florals and blurred prints in the softest and lightest materials that are perfect for long flowy modest looks.
- Details like lace, ruffled edges and twisted fabrics will also be at the forefront helping all our oversized clothing look pretty and trendy.
- Statement sleeves: Bubbly, puffy and pleated all give off a sweet and romantic vibe making you completely fashion forward. The big sleeves can even out silhouettes – bonus!
- Colours: The gold family is still prevailing with brighter greens and blues set for summer.
Essential Modest Outfits for 2025
- Puffy sleeve and A-line dress: Modest dresses are a staple for any modest woman, but I know it's not easy to find maxi dresses that are totally modest without altering or layering them. However now you should be seeing more with sleeves, and if you see one with puffy sleeves in an A-line cut grab it to be ahead of the crowd. (If you find one with puffy cuffs even better). If most of the puffy sleeve dresses you see have low necks don’t worry, check out Ria Line’s Satin Dresses that have puffy sleeves, cuffs, a high V neck and come in an A-line cut nailing this trend completely. Pair with trainers, slides or heels, whatever your style this modest maxi dress with sleeves is a game changer.
- A loose-fitting robe dress: Sometimes a trend can start with us before brands jump on it and I feel this style is just that. Last year the Abaya trend went crazy crazier than ever, and I feel the loose-fitting robe dress is just that, simply an abaya. Open or closed an abaya (or a robe dress) aims to give the wearer an unrestricted sense of freedom, pure comfort and of course coverage, something abaya wearers know from day one.
Ria Line has just added some abaya styles to their collection that follow the mainstream fashion trends keeping you in trend and modest at the same time. Layer your abaya over your favourite jeans for a classic weekend look.
- Long tailored pieces: Those oversized blazers will still keep you going in 2025, if you have one in a longer length then you are in safe hands. A length that covers your bottom comfortably and can easily be layered on top of dresses, skirts or trousers proving that you can be chic and modest with this sophisticated look.
You may have seen some coords on Ria Line’s instagram page which are designed with exactly this in mind comfortable, casual and modest and to make it even more special it comes with some bling, who said modest fashion is boring
- Colours: Pantone the colour gurus announced the colour for 2025 to be mocha mousse, think browns, oranges, golds and all things boujie coffee! If it’s a colour pop you need make sure its either green or blue, think exotic tones like turquoise greens and for blues the cobalt seems to be coming back. You may even see them both together!
Ria Line’s turquoise green satin dress hits this trend head on with the colour and fabric. This will be your new favourite piece to accessorize or layer with. It has an extra long zip at the back and puffy sleeves that can be rolled up, just choose your occasion.
Details and patterns to watch out for in 2025
- Ditsy flowers/ mottled smudge prints: Pretty, pretty and pretty! Little cute flowers or blurred pastel prints is what you need. This can be anything: a t-shirt, a dress, an abaya whatever you choose. This print is completely feminine and can easily add excitement to your modest clothes.
Ria Line also has created a genius modest solution wear range nicknamed the ‘Layering Collection’ should you need neutral vests and trousers to wear underneath your items.
- Lace splicing: This is strategic pieces of lace cut out and added to clothes, it could be on the arms, necklines or even hems. It’s a great way of elevating modest clothes.
Ria Line has a One Shoulder Lace Dress providing some coverage on both arms whilst still keeping within the one shoulder design. The ruching around the waist makes it the most comfortable and flattering of styles in the softest material that you could easily spend all day and night in.
- Twisted twists: There has been a lot of twisted details coming through mostly on strappy dresses and tops, which are not naturally modest. You could try layering them with vests that have sleeves.
Ria Line is introducing a range of Ana vests and dresses that are specifically made to layer with. They all have high necks with different sleeve types according to your modesty preference.
- Contrasting colours: Yes we all love a bold look and that’s here to stay but you will also see contrasting colours together within an outfit. It can be as light as pale grey with buttery creams or bright bold green vs blue.
As we approach Ramadan 2025 Ria Line understands that fashion takes even more of a modest approach, introducing Ria Line’s new Nyla Abaya. It will keep you in trend and oh so modest by pairing luxurious colours together in the form of pretty ties and belts, it’s the subtle nod to fashion we all need for this month and beyond.
Fabrics for 2025
As modest fashion undertakes a lot of layering throughout all the seasons it's important to choose the right types of fabrics that drape well in order for you to do this with. Investing in the right fabrics will also help your wardrobe be more versatile and overall cost effective. Here are some fabrics trending for 2025 that work well when layering with your contemporary pieces:
- Crepe/Viscose: Crepe is a wonderfully textured fabric that is durable and very comfortable. The texture actually adds to its modest appeal and flows really nicely especially for summer.
- Chiffon: Luxurious, soft and lightweight the drapability of this material is off the scale making it perfect for long flowy Abayas. Try it with Ria Line’s modest layering collection to solve all your coverage needs.
- Lightweight Satin: This glossy material exudes glamour and actually flows very well without it being sheer. Perfect for a skirt or dress and the best thing about this material is that you can work with it all year. Pair it with cotton t-shirts in the summer or sweaters in the winter. Ria Line’s Maxi Satin dresses with sleeves come in stunning colours that can take you from Ramadan, holiday to dinner dates easily.
- Polyester: Polyester often gets a bad name, but a good quality mix is great for modest clothing because it works well in all temperatures, is durable and drapes well. It is no wonder most abayas are made with this fabric. Try Ria Line’s Nyla Abaya that is designed with a collar giving you a smart and sophisticated look perfect for a modest outfit or dress it down with trainers and jeans for the weekend.
