After it was definitely a Leem’s vibe in women’s day, we discovered the Saudi label’s season essentials for spring, so it’s once again a Leem’s vibe, this time reviving the 90’s in fun, modest, classy and chic colors, where one piece can make you the fashionista in the room.
While you've probably seen the resurgence of tracksuits, graphic tees and tie-dye, one fashion phenomenon you might not be familiar with (yet), is the rise of modest fashion. And let us not forget that it goes hand in hand with some of those most sought after pieces that have inspired Leem this season!
True to its name, modest fashion is often described as dressing in a relatively covered manner with longer and looser clothes, however, let's take note that it should always be without compromising on the latest style and color trends. Modest fashion continues to gain momentum this SS21, driven by e-commerce, social media and other nontraditional channels. In fact, internet searches for "modest fashion" increased 90 percent last year, according to the Year in Fashion report released by Lyst, the largest global fashion search platform.
So, it is time to get on track! First things first, what are the building blocks of your modest wardrobe this season? When it comes to advising on how to dress modestly, modest fashion brand Leem shows that there is one important trick you have to master first: confidence!
Don't be afraid. If you see something, just try it, see if it works, and test yourself. You will be surprised as to what could work. Just like with most fashion trends, the trick is to take your own creative characteristics and weave them into the clothes you wear. Don't let the fear of looking different or being the center of attention deter you from exploring how different shades, textures and cuts work together. Instead, aim to be the trendsetter. And if you're looking for a little inspiration, ahead you’ll find some really useful tips, from Leem straight to your notebook! Take notes and enjoy a new wardrobe.
First, stock up on block color hijabs because it just matches everything! Furthermore, capitalize on the fact that you have a block of color on your head. You could wear an all-black outfit and a bright orange scarf. Be adventurous.
If you're going for loose pants, opt for a fitted top with something loose on top, like a jacket.
It is time to get ultra-feminine, think floral prints, prairie dresses, soft gradient hues, swishing pleats and sheer fabrics this SS21.
Also, girls embrace the 1970's high-waist wide pant, and you can thank us later!
Layering is now really big and dressing modestly is actually quite easy if you layer. Infuse your neutrals with layers and bold accents of color. Or in summer, stay cool and opt for built-in dress and abaya styles in one piece, without the need for layering.
Never underestimate the power of being bold! The season sees the interjection of bold trends via eye-catching statements including exaggerated shoulders, vibrant pops of solid color, studded embellishments, ethnic print accents, photographic prints on jersey and the classic yet striking use of monochrome.
