Who doesn’t love the summer? It’s a time for outside fun, vacations and warmer temperatures. However, while summer can be a really great time, it can also mean that dressing modestly and being stylish feels more challenging, especially on Sundays when you need to dress up for church. It doesn’t have to be, though. There are many great ways to be modest and stay stylish in the summer.
We’ve put together a list of some cute, modest summer outfits that are perfect for church and even work!
Modest Summer Outfit #1: The Linden Dress
If you need a modest summer outfit that will work well in all situations, you need the Linden Dress. This dress is the ideal cute, modest summer outfit because you can wear it to work, church or when you’re having fun. It comes in a green floral pattern or a gorgeous solid pink color, which are both bright and fun colors for summer. It also has a classic collar and half sleeves that make it so easy to dress up or down.
The Linden also features a waist tie so that you can get a more custom fit, and it even comes in plus sizes. The best part, though? It has pockets! This dress is a button-up, so it’s great if you need a nursing-friendly summer dress, too.
To dress the Linden up, add a pair of stylish yet casual wedges or heels along with a nice set of pearl earrings. To dress it down, go with a sandal or flat shoe. Adding a breezy pair of earrings can also give this cute, modest dress a more laid-back look.
Modest Summer Outfit #2: The Hyacinth Skirt and a Tee
Our Hyacinth Skirt is an eye-catching skirt that has a gorgeous, almost lace-like look. It’s a pencil-style skirt and comes in blue. It even features a modest slit in the back to make it easier to move. This skirt is perfect for both church and dressier events, depending on the shirt you choose to pair with it.
We’d suggest a layering tee or another solid-colored top if you want to dress this skirt down a little. Since it is fancier, choosing a simpler top is the best option since it won’t be as difficult to match. For a classic look, a shirt in a neutral color like white will work best in the summer. Finish this outfit off with a stylish pair of heels for a more high-end and polished summer church outfit.
Modest Summer Outfit #3: The Katie Dress
If you like to be casual but need a trendy dress for church, the Katie Dress is a match made in heaven. This striped dress comes in two different colors and is a modest midi-length dress. It’s also 100% cotton, and it can be easily dressed up or down. If you want to wear it to church, wear it with a dressier pair of sandals or flats. Add some accessories like jewelry, and you’ll be ready to go.
If you decide to wear the Katie Dress during the week, it’s also great for lounging or running errands. Just pair it with your favorite set of sneakers, and you’ll stay comfy, modest and stylish while shopping.
Modest Summer Outfit #4: The Liberty Skirt and a Top
The Liberty is a drop-waist eyelet skirt that comes in white. White skirts and dresses are summer staples. White is not only a bright color, but it also reflects heat rather than absorbing it, which makes it cooler to wear. While white skirts can be more difficult to keep clean, it shouldn’t be an issue when you’re just attending church. This skirt will also pair well with pretty much any color blouse or tee.
While you can go with a solid-colored tee shirt in any bright summer color, another great pairing is the Erika Top. It comes in blue or yellow and has a cute feminine ruffle sleeve. It’s also 95% cotton, which makes it a breathable top. Complete this outfit with a pair of sandals or wedges and a simple necklace.
BONUS: Modest Summer Outfit: Poppy Top and Bermuda Shorts
For casual church events, it’s always smart to have a good modest summer outfit on hand. To do this, you’ll need to choose a breathable, modest top. We’d suggest the Poppy. This cute striped shirt has a crew neck and comes in two colors. It can be paired with a skirt for church or shorts for a non-dressy church activity. Once you’ve picked the color of your top, you’ll be able to better pick out a pair of modest shorts.
We get it; finding shorts that you can wear modestly is a huge challenge. Shorts feel so nice in the summer, though. That’s why Bermuda shorts can be the answer to staying cool and modest. Our Bermuda shorts come in a variety of washes. Lighter washes tend to be more in style in the summer, but darker washes might look better with certain colors of tops. Like we talked about above, for the most stylish look, pick out your top, then choose the wash of shorts to match the color of your top. You’ll also want to pay attention to the hem on modest shorts. A frayed hem has more of a casual laid-back look, while cuffed shorts have a more polished look (but still very casual).
See! Dressing in a modest and trendy way this summer for church does not have to be difficult. It’s actually really fun. Just be sure to stick to bright colors and breathable fabrics.
