Modest Fashion Monday - Wardrobe Essential's Part 3

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Now the bottom half is covered correctly we need to look at the top half of thing's.

 Kaftan / Tunic / Blouse
Non figure hugging, opaque, stylish top's. Preferably loose long sleeves, but if it isn't and it tick's all the other boxes then you can always layer with modesty sleeves or basic top's (see next week's post)! You can alway's get the next size up if it's not quite loose/long enough too. If you come across a blouse that fit's all requirement's but has a deep v neck you could invest in a modesty panel (available with or without lace) or if you're handy with a needle and thread, sew one yourself, which maybe the better option to create a larger panel.

 Cardigan / BlazerThese are a great way to add definition and bring an outfit together. Cardigan, blazer, shrug, leather jacket, denim jacket... They can help you to revamp many outfit's and can also add some personality to a plain black abaya. Maxi cardi's are great for transition outfits to wear between season's.  Don't forget to invest in a good quality trench coat for the colder season's (if you haven't already), knee length-floor length is perfect and acts as a jilbab or abaya too. The grey sleeveless cardi shown below work's really well on top of an abaya to give it a whole new style.

Next week's post will be covering key piece's for extra security to seal our stamp of modesty.
