As they were attending Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks, fashionistas invaded the streets with plenty of great moments for modest fashion. Surprising color combos, trendy accessories, shiny materials, classic pieces... Zoom in on our favorite modest street style looks spotted on the streets these last few weeks to get you inspired by a good dose of fashion styles to adopt now.
The perfect color combination
Pairing vibrantly-colored items together is an easy way for an immediate outfit lift. With an unexpected color combination, this signature look was created combining a matching fringed crop top and skirt set with a tucked-in light blue long sleeve shirt for a more ladylike appearance. The red booties perfectly and contrastingly complete the look giving an instant confidence boost!
The extra-long coat
Extra-long coats look dramatic, sophisticated and retro inspired. Perfect for fall or winter, a super long camel coat is endlessly classy. Worn alone with black heeled shoes, it is a great street style and can cater for many different occasions, from workwear to late night outings. Just keep the rest of your outfit simplistic with minimum accessories.
The floor-length dress
Modest fashion is full of fun fabrics and textures. This maxi long-sleeve dress paired elegantly with black strappy sandals and matching clutch conveys a vintage charm with contrasting-colored patterns reflecting the air of a street style star. You can always cinch your floor-length dress with a belt to create definition.
The plaid blazer and skirt duo
Wear a midi skirt with a matching plaid blazer is a sure fun and easy outfit that’s perfect for the office. Create an effortless bold statement with a colored simple blouse and matching high boots. In terms of accessories, complete the look with oversized vintage sunglasses, a leather clutch and a statement belt.
The two-pieces set
Co-ords can effortlessly solve a styling challenge since they’re as easy as a dress, but arguably more fashionable to wear. Get matchy matchy with coordinated top and pants adding maximum style with minimum effort. This total lilac (another trend for fall 2021) shirt and pants set was flawlessly rounded off with a varnished leather coat in a dark aubergine shade and a beautiful apricot leather bag.
The denim and tartan look
This can be a super casual comfy look to elevate a lazy-day outfit. Pair your favorite loose denim with a tucked-in shirt and a checkered short jacket for a sophisticated look. Complete the outfit with style with camel suede ankle boots and a matching handbag. You can always add a scarf and switch out the boots with sneakers to make it even more casual.
The PVC trench coat
With a statement piece such as a PVC trench (the reinvented trench coat that has been recently dominating the fashion world), you really don’t need to show anything else. Just opt for a little pop of color and you’re ready to go. As for accessories, a contrasting handbag will instantly level up your style game!
The black classic coat
A must-have coat in every lady’s closet, the black coat is timeless, elegant, and ideal for wearing with casual and dressy outfits. Black goes well with everything but when it is paired with red, it can create an eye-catching contrast for a prettier and more delicate look. Try this midi skirt with matching top and pumps outfit for a royal-approved classic style.
The puffy shirt dress
Green is an unexpected choice that is sure to get you noticed. Copy this look by opting for a dark green long sleeve shirt dress, making a fashion statement with sandals in a color that contrasts your socks but matches your outfit. Complete the outfit by adding a headscarf (a must this season!) and classic sunglasses.
