Whether you are an observant Muslim woman or you simply prefer to keep your hair and form covered, there are a number of ways you can stay stylish this summer without sacrificing your beliefs. Of course, the challenge is how to stay cool in the warm weather while still staying on-trend with current fashion styles. Here are a few options to help create a perfect modest summer look.

Cotton Jersey Hijabs

A light, cotton-jersey hijab can provide the breathability you need for a hot summer day, particularly if you have thick, long hair. Cotton-jersey fabric also offers a good bit of stretch, making it easy to keep your hair covered even if you have your hair up in a bun or ponytail. Look for an array of both solid colors and patterns, so you can mix and match with your other summer wardrobe pieces. If you are handy with a needle and thread, consider making your own hijabs using fabric you've custom-matched to the rest of your summer clothing.

Light Dusters

Duster jackets offer a great way to cover up, and they aren't limited to winter use. Look for dusters in light, breezy fabrics to keep you cool as you layer, and be sure that the length for each piece you choose reaches close to your ankles. This length will help you create a striking silhouette while also making it easier to find dresses in varying hemlines without worry about staying covered. Dusters can be paired with sundresses so you can enjoy modern summer looks with confidence, and they also work well with pants and tops for a chic daytime look.

Broom Skirts

Broom skirts provide the coverage you want without sacrificing style. These skirts often feature Bohemian prints, making them ideal for pairing with dusters, sandals, and oversized summer handbags. The best broom skirts for summer are made from gauzy material that offers added breathability for hot summer days. Look for pieces with unique style details, such as ruffled edges, to add to your signature summer look.

Tunic Tops

Tunic tops are free-flowing, which means they keep your form covered while also providing room for air to flow through on hot days. You can select short-sleeved tunics if you wish to pair them with duster jackets, but you can also choose long-sleeved designs in light, airy fabrics. Consider a variety of styles and lengths for summer, so you can choose what you want to pair them with each day.

Of course, there are many other items you can add to your summer wardrobe. Silk scarves, palazzo pants, and light tees can also be used to create a modest, stylish look for summer.
