17 Stylish Modest Dresses & Skirts for Any Price Range

Now that summer is here, it means one thing, dressing for the weather so you don’t overheat. For many women who dress modestly or just want to look appropriate for work, this can be difficult—considering many major stores and labels don’t design dresses for women who don’t want to show a lot of skin.

And that just sucks–because it shouldn’t be difficult to find clothing, you know? (The same, of course, could be said for “plus size” clothing, a term I hate, but that’s hard not to use in certain contexts). For many women, modesty is important–Mayim Bialik has written about for Kveller.

Of course, modesty means different things for different women, whether that means wearing sleeves, sleeveless, showing your knees or not, it’s a choice every woman makes for herself.

This is why I rounded up a wide range of options, so you don’t have to spend too much time trying to find a reasonable outfit.

These Orthodox Jewish designers also gave the best tips for how to dress modestly in the summer. Here are my favorites below (and don’t forget to check out our roundup of modest swim suits here):
