Dressing modestly can be difficult with all of the sexually implicit advertisements we are bombarded with on a daily basis. But no one ever said that modest women’s clothing can’t be sexy. In fact, modest fashion is often sexier than the skimpy shirts and dresses that young women wear out on the town.

Modest fashion calls upon the imagination in a way that scanty fashion does not. Baring too much skin is often unattractive – it demonstrates a need to show off, often at the sake of one’s own body. On the other hand, showing your arms is appealing because it leaves just enough to the eye to appreciate what is exposed. Women who wear tops with low necklines, and mini skirts that come high above the knee, are flaunting their bodies in a way that encourages objectification, making it difficult to take them seriously.

Long jean skirts are empowering because they allow you to wear what feels comfortable, and not have to conform to societal standards of how women should or shouldn’t dress. Ultimately, what makes you feel most relaxed will make you feel sexy, and wearing what you like is a reflection of your personality, which demonstrates a confidence sexier than any short shorts.
