Wear fashion that is comfortable for you! If it’s not for you, then don’t hate on people that love it
I love the trend of more modest styles. I’m sick of swimsuits with whole butts out. I’m not sure how someone can not be embarrassed to wear that.
I would agree! Modesty is beautiful
I am a Christian and have always chosen to dress modestly. For me that means the shortest skirt or shorts I wear are knee length, I wear shirts that are long, have sleeves, and don't have low necklines. I also try to wear clothing that is not super tight. This is a choice I have maid and it gives me so much confidence and is so comfortable. I never once felt like I was missing out or like I was unattractive because of what I wear. Modest fashion is the best!
Amen
I'm Muslim so I dress the same as the woman with her own fashion line. I did not always do that though. I have to say the day I chose to cover my body (my hair came later) was the most liberating day of my life. For the first time since I was in my middle teens I felt like more of a person and less of an object to look at. It is so empowering, but is still often seen as a form of oppression. Sadly, I have to add I had no Muslim people in my life to push me to do so. in fact, I had never met another Muslim in person until long after I became Muslim and covered myself.
Amen, no everyone hates it
@@lostcause8486 there really is liberation in modesty
@@pictureprodigy1there’s liberation in dressing what is comfortable to you. “Modesty” or not, neither is better
For the last 10 years the fashion industry has pushed cropped shirts, mini skirts and dresses now they’re finally making appropriate length clothing without any ugly prints 🙏🏿
Why are short skirts and crop tops “inappropriate”
You mean for the last 50 years 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I’m with you on the creating opportunities for everyone to dress how they please for whatever reason, but not loving the whole considering women who dress more revealing “inappropriate” or looking down on them because they express themselves different.
@@kstar1489 I think from a Christian perspective the reason some might say short skirts and tight or revealing clothing is inaporopriate is because the clothing can become the center of focus and not the person themselves. It can also cause men who may struggle with lust or have an addiction to porn to stumble. It can also cause a person to be not taken as seriously as someone who dresses more modestly. In and of itself it's not wrong, it's just there are good reasons to dress modestly. God bless you!😊✝️💕❤
@ApolloxI I would agree! Modesty is a lifestyle as well as dressing in a respectful way.
People who think modesty is boring usually dont know how to really be intresting. Im into an alternative fashion that encourages to cover up as much as possible and its so bueatiful in its own unique way. Its like being a kawaii victorian/ rococo child. Its cute, anti sexual, yet flashy. Its the perfect balance between opulance without looking sexy. Which lots of feminin clothing tend to lean to these days
W take 🔥
Lolita fashion?
As a boy growing up, I typically dressed more covered than others. There wasn’t a specific reason why, it was just what I liked to wear. The women in my life perpetrated that I as a male should be obsessed with attracting sexual attention, which made me uncomfortable as a kid. I’m glad to see a video like this that normalizes the idea that people are allowed to cover up, just as we are allowed to reveal.
Stop acting persecuted Karen everyone is allowed to wear what they want within reason
@@ericrivera8410 ouch, the irony
Can you tells us a bit about modest fashion for men too?
I have dressed more modestly since highschool. I hated my sport uniforms showing off so much. While I'm not majorly into baggy clothes, I wear things that cover my skin and feel far more beautiful that way. I've been told I'm wearing oppression because I like to cover up more. That's not it. I just don't want someone looking at me for my body.
@nextbigteenstar, continue to wear your modesty apparel. It shows your confidence and love of being modest. Peace be
honestly I love modest fashion, it’s not typically what I dress in I prefer personally to wear more revealing things but so much emphasis is placed on things like the fabric texture, colors, and patterns rather than how they interact with the body. it’s rlly cool :)
They should do a video on revealing fashion because their are same assumptions about modests fashion as there are for releaving fashion.
Religiously enforced clothing should not celebrated. Don’t forget they were murdering women in Iran for not wearing Hijabs less than a year ago.
it only in 2 countries and those are been occupied by terrorist not regular muslim there 50+ muslim countries and the women can choose and wear what she want .nowhere in the quran that full covering is forced
Didn't even know modest fashion was a thing before seeing this. Very informative and well done!
Nothing is a more sad/ironic than a Christian woman with a cross in her cleavage. Modest women are the real bad bitches and they deserve all the hype and attention cause they’re not looking for it. It is the ultimate form of sexiness for a man to know that his woman’s body is for his eyes only, and it shows she respects him in addition to herself. Respect is the glue of a relationship.
i’m not religious at all but i was raised under a religious household so i guess that’s what influenced me haha but i genuinely like it it’s comfy and i get to look cute
As a hijabi, hijabs and modesty is beautiful 💗
Technically the last girl was showing clothing not up to religious code so she needs the discipline outlined in Quran brought upon her.
@@halfjonno, she can dress however she wants
y’all shut up op is right hijabi fashion is beautiful and should not be used as a tool of oppression or shame. let women choose how they want to dress and interpret the Quran in their own way.
I’m a trans man who always feels really self conscious exercising in public. Exercise clothing either doesn’t fit right or draws attention to my feminine figure, and it discourages me from exercising in a lot of ways. Janna Fit-wear actually looks like it could give me the fitness wear I want to be more confident
Good luck on ur journey man!❤
You dont need to wear exercise clothing to exercise
Embrace who you naturally are and you’ll look beautiful.
Choosing what kind of clothing you wear should come down to personal taste- not for pleasing others or taking a moral stand. Its only when we place stereotypes on people choices that we find ourselves in over our heads. Live your life and enjoy what makes you happy! Theres no standard to happiness
How ever you choose to dress should always be your choice not society not men or man made religions. Beautiful is in the eye of who’s reflection is in the mirror and no judgment should come anyone’s way! Mind your business and dress how you like that’s it!
Man made religions. Tell me who created you without saying your parents.
@@adame1871no one created me but the biological process of reproduction
I love how people tell you that you aren't free wearing modest clothing. Says who? I'm free to be me. Not everyone deserves to see your beautiful sacredness.
Men only care if they think you are attractive 1st. If you are overweight everyone wants you to cover up.
meanwhile iran women hate it and try to escape to more women friendly places
As an Iranian I agree with u
We women dont appriciate the safety we have but u know safety should be a choice as well
I doubt friendly women’s spaces will be an option here in America, since people confused with their gender are taking over women spaces
@@usernotfound8061 In america women don't cover up, there are more grapes here
@@thegoober8797women are raped anywhere, anytime and everywhere. You can cover up but men will be men.
@@thegoober8797 there’s no comparison to be had with a bigger population and the fluctuations of crime rates in different areas varies a lot. Also there is no reason to believe the official number of ppl assaulted in Iran.
I've always loved and dressed in modest apparels, since I was about 8. One does not have to be religious to want to look ladylike, and cover up. I know it's somewhat unamerican, but it looks better.
You just had to be misogynistic about it. It’s not “unladylike” to not dress in what you see as immodest, and no it doesn’t look better
@@kstar1489 in my eyes ..it does.
@@kstar1489 would you call a stripper a lady? No you wouldn't XDD you'd call her literally anything else. Everyone automatically calls the more respectably dressed women lady without even being aware of it because that's how BASED it is
@@epictetushasepictiddiez2615I know lot of strippers and I consider them ladies because they are women. I don’t care for the career choice but that’s reality
Same I’m not religious at all and I prefer long dresses and skirts. A lot of ppl ask me why I dress like an old lady but it’s not my fault old lady’s got drip.
Nah I've definitely heard of dads who refuse to let their daughters do gymnastics or dance even with leggings because its "too tight" to the body
Some girls find appeal in that "too tight" and buy them just for wearing instead of exercising
That’s so gross
Modesty is beautiful!
John 3:16💚 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." God bless everyone, most importantly repent of your sins, turn to Jesus. Jesus loves you🕊️🫂
It’s no more beautiful than not dressing that way
@Sketchriv so right! It's also a way of life
Okay but WHY black n dark gray colors? Why can’t it be RED, MAGENTA, YELLOW, ORANGE, Royal blue, Turquoise, Teal? Any answer? In Iran they BEAT women for wearing non-black inners.. not outer burkha but INNER pants. Chii 🤢 your justification for cruelty towards women is appalling
There are multiple interpretations of dressing modestly. Some of which are aligned with religous guidelines and others are related to personal taste. Regardless of either, dressing modestly is equivalent to dressing with class, self-respect, and a respect for others. It demonstrates confidence, style, grace, and elegance.
And common sense.
Todays modest wear is geared to being active and still looks great.
But a wise person once said ,and I am paraphrasing. "Fashion is not an island , it's a response. "
Dang I wish I remembered her name, she has or had a you tube channel. With austerity being a common thing and money's tight, skirt length is longer,neckline rises to cover more.
People should wear what they feel like wearing without any pressure, We need to normalize that. I like flashy just as much as modest. It all depends on occasion, feel,
Modesty is very smart covering up is mystic ❤❤❤
Yesss that’s a wonderful way to put it
Dress however you want don’t listen to anybody not even fam
Modesty is better than nudity
@@Ben_2040 are you in every comment
And death is better than life to some people, what’s your point
?
Yes very true 👍🏻
Why?
To be told to wear something that is not your choice can be uncomfortable.
LOVE THIS EPISODE!
yes a fan of pushing dress how you want dress modest with no judgement but I’m NOT loving the whole feeling morally superior and looking down on women who choose to dress in more revealing styles. there’s multiple ways to be feminine and express yourself. Im not looking down on women who dress super modest if anything I love hyping them up and drawing them, but I want the same respect to be given to me. I’m not immoral because I’m wearing a miniskirt or a crop top or fishnets.
I wish I would have seen this video when it aired. I believe that this interview should have been labeled modesty in Islam. I believe that this is the issue when discussing modest fashion. Many people when they hear the word modest they think a Muslim because the fashion world doesn’t make any distinction. So many women dress modest and it has nothing to do with religion. The discussion around modesty and fashion has to be much larger so that modest fashion designers like myself don’t get placed into a box of discriminatory practices. I want every woman to benefit from the beauty of modest fashion.
I dont know how to describe it but, admirable and respectsble women, sometimes extending to modest, have be my favorite type of women. And this isnt in an inherently sexual way either. I see woman characters who fit this idea and i think that theyre so cool because of it
They have a natural coolness because they aren’t looking for validation or attention which makes people curious about them
You must wear full fencing gear to be modest!
AMAZING video!!!
I’m not into the idea of tell anyone what they can and cannot wear! If you are engaging in a contact sport like wrestling or doing something like gymnastics, where certain clothing can get in the way of competing, I think that restrictions on clothing would be discriminatory. I personally don’t like that gymnasts have been competing in bathing suits essentially, but I can definitely see where clothing that is TOO loose would inhibit judging (are you bent at the waist, are your legs straight and together, etc) and some rules about uniforms would serve a legitimate purpose. Another thing I would say is that clothing that covers your face in things like passports and state id’s can pose a security problem. There are places or instances where people have a legitimate need to see your face and be able to confirm who you are!
What I always notice about this type of religion. Women have to look old fashion or silly. And the men can look anyway they want. They can dress in any fashion they choose. I would ask myself…. Why does GOD want me to look like this??? And the men in my family can dress anyway they want??? To me it looks like a albatross around your neck. I feel bad for you. I hope you will find freedom.
You are so self righteous some people like to dress modestly men have modest code to but you wouldn’t know but you still look down and say we need freedom we have it not like you would KNOW yes some people are forced but that ageist the religion you can’t force people but if you stoped being so high and mighty, you probably would’ve known that
I feel free in modest clothes. I feel like being looked at when I don't want to be or in ways I don't by people without my say so is more of a trap than wearing clothes that allow me freedom of movement and of invisibility. Not everyone wants to be seen and to expose themselves.
Maybe some people do find modesty restrictive, but I am not among them.
@@rachaelknudsen8801gross men will look at you no matter what you wear
@@kstar1489 As the boxer in the video said, it's about who gets to see what of me. I prefer not to show much. If you do, that's up to you. There will always be gross people. But I have charge over my dress and my body. That's all.
@@kstar1489 not if you don’t give them something to look at. Their eye will pass over you and land on the next
I design my own clothes. Long kurtis and harem type pants. Salwhar kameeze if you will. Or kurtis over long full skirts. Wear head scarves. A personal choice. I don’t care what others think. Most countries of the world dress modestly. I don’t particularly like looking at someone’s bumpy butt or flaccid tummy hanging out. Or fat bulbous arms that look like cuts of meat from a butcher shop. This is just my opinion.
you coulda stopped at being happy and confident with your own choices and not shitting on other people for theirs. you’re not better because you dress modestly just like anyone else isn’t better for dressing in more revealing ways.
This trend in Olympic and other places started from Iran
Where's the men's modest fashion?
Modesty is triggering as they are rules set out by men due their behavior and responses. Another mean for controlling women.
Modesty is empowering to women, as opposed to showing your whole body to men, because surely men hate that 🤦♀️
@@adriana12995 historically, enforced modesty is a result of wife's being viewed as property, property that needs to be secured like any other.
In the Qur'an, it doesn't say to wear hijab, it says to dress modestly and that goes for both men and women.
@@dairyqueue one thing is enforced modesty, I don’t think anyone should be forced to wear anything. My point is that the feminist idea that being essentially naked is somehow better is pretty dumb. Now we have women being sexualized and objectified while at the same time they complain about it. Yes, men hate seeing women’s bodies… we sure got the patriarchy! 🤣
You can’t have it both ways. Modesty has a purpose and it is good.
@@ancientfern2693 I do like seeing my guy wearing some thin gray sweat pants though 😆
I love the Victorian era
They dress incredible beautiful..because it's about different things an why...an just been you..God bless them. With all respect I hope to dress them like them
@yaraviera, you can! Modesty is beautiful and a way of life. Join the Modesty community.
Thank god
@@Ben_2040 why do u want people dressing like whores. Would u like your gf to do that?
@@Ben_2040 I find it amusing how clearly important it is to you thatd you prefer women to wear scant clothing
@@bezhfezhthere is a huge middle ground of clothing between hijabs and being a stripper. Would blue jeans and a tshirt be considered “scant clothing” to you?
@@chippewaguy4193 i never said anything about such a combo being "scant." What I did however say was a comment based off of my observations to the multiple passionate comments that this guy has made and had chosen the word "scant" in an attempt to be more eloquent in my wording so that I could avoid typing what's considered "long for a youtube comment." I guess it was rather stupid of me to do so for not anticipating a miscommunication. Although, personally, liking one's own comment, which is what you did, i find even more stupid for it gives of the vibe that one feels a need to seem like they have the approval and agreement from others
@@bezhfezh what ever helps you sleep at night bud , also didn’t like my own comment until now. Hahahaha loser
I straight went to watching Ex-Muslims channel from here 😅😅😅 whata relief 😅
What do you mean
I never knew about the concept of modesty. Then again, I was trolling to some guy from iran (via random voice chat) and he was talking about how he respects women by letting them wear this kind of clothing, keeping themselves covered. I mean i let women choose to wear what they like, usually men would get paranoid when their gf is dressing all hot out in public 😂
I respect women by not judging them for what they wear
The covered hair prevents a jinn from falling in love with the girl, thus prevents possession. This is the inside doctrine of fear. All religion has an inside doctrine of fear. Hair is not immodest, cleavage can be.
I'm not sure where you got your information from, but sadly you are misinformed
Ad
I love Victorian and Edwardian fashion so modest clothing is my jam.
It’s not modesty. Its part of their theocratic lifestyles.
Personally i qish more people would cover up. The over sexualization of everyone all the time is pretty repulsive.
I just associate it with judgmental religious conservatives, and often they are, but not everyone who wears “modest” clothing is. And I just think about gross religious conservative men clapping at modesty. I just wanna piss them off. It’s sad how many women think the same way as conservative men, judging and blaming women. It’s disgusting. Wear what you want, there is no shame in “immodest” clothing. Tbh I just hate the word modest because to many people it doesn’t just describe clothing but some sort of statement in one’s “character”, which is just gross.
Many women are conservative and we don’t do it for men. If you don’t think that’s the case then I hope you also think that liberal women are liberal because they want to please liberal men. Don’t be a hypocrite, have a consistent logic.
If you’re so in favor of women doing what they want then let women be modest and let us be grossed out by women that objectify themselves. Your comment is extremely judgemental and it’s funny because you’re the same kind of person accusing everyone of doing what you are also doing.
I wear modest clothing because it makes me comfortable. 😮
You when I wear my long sleeved dress and heels because I felt cute: 😭😭😡😡😡😡😤😤😤
So glad I’m not dumb enough to let a ancient book dictate how I live my life.
Good for you
@@Bluejellyy thank you.
With or without the “book” you can practice modesty regardless. It’s not dictating your life if you see the value in it and are consciously choosing it
Jesus loves you
@@adriana12995 don't tell him that, he's too busy being an edgy atheist

Muhammad Ali once asked his daughters who were dressed very risqué at a visit, he said to them 'everything precious and valuable the lord made he covered, diamonds, pearls, rubies, emerald, gold, etc are you not more precious than these things?!
Why are men not kept to the same standard?...😮
If it makes you feel beautiful, do it!
No it’s not, your just to deep in your own circle/community to see people want to show their body to the world not hide them away
And they want you to have that choice, not have someone choose for you.

Damn Daniel
No? Most women’s fashion is designed by women. And this style is very specific. You think women can’t dress themselves or something?
@@kstar1489 love the use of rhetoric
When women and gay men dominate the fashion industry we end up with hooker fashion. That’s really what it comes down to. If you look at the beautiful and modest fashion of the past, it was mostly designed by men. Women sewed, yes, but it was men who created the newest styles of fashion and the styles were beautiful and they honored women’s bodies. Now feminism has gotten women convinced that getting naked is empowering. What a sad world.
Modesty isnt mortality. Morality doesnt have to do with any sort of physical appearance. To me looking religious is the issue, a lot of ppl want freedom from religion. In America Christians use religion to define morality.
So sorry you have to be covered to feel secure. Why don’t men cover themselves to feel secure! Dress however u want just stop promoting it. Young beautiful Iranian girls are being killed, prisoned because of hejab. Here is an idea, Why don’t you make a documentary about those girls so you can present both sides and establish credibility as a non biased reporter.
These girls are expressing their womanhood how they want. That’s particularly what feminism is about. This comment is condensing and tone deaf. This isn’t about men and what they want women to do. We know more than enough about women who are forced to wear hijabs, this is about the women who aren’t. Traditional women who want to actually be traditional don’t need “tolerant” people talking down to them over a lifestyle they choose to live because it makes them uncomfortable. Comments like this are why these videos exist. These women are fine, and I’m sure they’re tired of convincing people who treat them like babies and undermine their opinions like the oppressive men they hate so much that they are.
@@BrocksJellyFilledDoughnuts so u know “ more than enough” about women who are forced to wear hejab! A condescending response to divert the conversation and explain away your definition of feminism! No surprise here.
Let’s remembered the “Class” woman of the 50 and 60’s had. You see it in the older movies of the actresses from the era called the “Golden age”. The “Sexy” look, since then, has been taken too far! Sexy was meant for the bedroom, or a date night with your husband. Come on ladies, let’s get some class back in our lives, and leave men wondering what’s underneath. Instead of letting it all hang out for everyone to see.
Modest female professional boxer is an oxymoron as well as modest fashion.
Why?
@@juliamichelle6212 there is no religious morality in punching someone in the face for sport. It maybe ok as an exercise or useful skill but definitely not for gain or spectator sport related to gambling. And certainly not for a woman encouraging violence and aggressive attitude in opposed to temperance. Plus fashion as defined in this regard means trends, what’s in vogue or popular which is never about modesty even if a “modest” garment was the fad. Therefore it’s contrary by definition.
K 😂
No thanks. I don't want to look like a bee keeper
Then don’t 🎉
Hijabs are not " fashoin" it has to do with a religion.
tell me you don't know history without telling 👆🏼👆🏼🙄🙄🤡🤡
I’m still completely dumbfounded when I see a chubby woman wearing a crop top with short, shorts.🫣 I’m not trying to shame anyone but I’m in good shape and would probably look good wearing those sort of things. Call me old-fashioned but I still wouldn’t be caught dead, wearing something like that out in public, I simply don’t like being on display.😬 I also don’t think people will take you serious if you look like you’re advertising, IMHO of course.😉✌🏼😎
So you’re saying that overweight women must be modest to cover their bodies but thin women can show as much skin as they want? Modesty has nothing to do with weight.
