Modest outfit ideas worth saving

blue vest and tiny florals

We’re starting off strong with this pretty floral skirt and button-front blue vest. I love the long cream cardigan over the white top.

Those little rust-colored flowers are so cute.

Try leaving your cardigan open like this so the pointed hem of the vest still shows.

white tee and blue maxi skirt

Don’t want to go all out and want something super simple? This white tee and long blue skirt pairing is for you.

The tucked-in top keeps the waistband visible.

Finish yours with a black bag and gold-tone earrings to follow this look.

burgundy and sweeping white trim

How gorgeous is this burgundy and white combination? The white layer has wide sleeves and a diagonal floral-trimmed hem, with burgundy showing underneath.

A matching burgundy scarf drapes across the shoulders.

I especially love the flower-shaped rings beside that little pearl-like bag.

black vest and white pleats

This vest outfit may just be one of my favorites here. I love the white collar above the black vest and the long pleated skirt underneath.

Leave the shirt hem showing if you want to try the same layered look. The black shoes bring it all together.

orange florals and puff sleeves

If you love a colorful dress, this one is for you. The orange background, dark floral pattern and little ruffles are so pretty together.

Those short puff sleeves are my favorite part.

For a day out, I’d add simple tan flats and let the dress do the rest.

brown layers and cream cardigan

I am obsessed with this brown and cream outfit collage. The high-neck top pairs with a long tiered skirt, while the cream cardigan brings in those big buttons.

Try the brown loafers with cream socks to follow the picture. Add the fringed scarf if you want another layer.

striped dress and brown accessories

How cute is this striped shirt dress? The narrow brown belt matches the structured bag and pointed heels.

I love that the stripes change direction along the button placket.

Keep your accessories in similar brown shades if you want to recreate this combination.

brown wrap top and wide-leg pants

Prefer pants to skirts? Try this brown wrap-style top with matching wide-leg trousers.

The long ties at the waist and flared sleeves give you plenty of detail without adding a print.

For a higher neckline, you could add a coordinating camisole underneath.

pink shirt and patchwork print

If you are looking for lots of color, then this one is for you. There’s a pink collared shirt, a patchwork-print skirt and even a round yellow bag.

I love the green-and-white sneakers with this collage. Pick a shirt that meets your skirt’s waistband if you want continuous coverage.

rust sweater and little prints

This is such a cute way to wear a printed midi skirt. The loose rust-colored sweater sits over a pale skirt with tiny dark details, plus cream lace-up sneakers.

Try a small front tuck like this rather than tucking in the whole sweater. Don’t forget the pale headband if you like that extra touch.

pale sweater and pointed heels

I love this pale sweater with the cream midi skirt. The little top-handle bag and patterned pointed heels make the outfit feel a bit dressier.

Keep the sweater untucked to follow this look. Those turned-back cuffs are a lovely little detail too.

cream ribbed separates

Don’t want to add patterns or lots of accessories? No problem!

Try a cream high-neck sweater with a matching ribbed skirt. The small black bag is the only dark accessory here, which I’d keep just as it is.

white floral details

How pretty is this white dress? I am in love with the floral detailing and the gathered lower tier.

The elbow-length sleeves have a little volume without taking over the outfit.

A cream handbag like this is a lovely finishing touch. Check the coverage of any cutout details when choosing your own dress.

sage flowers and tan boots

The sage green and beige pairing is so cute in this collage. A skirt covered in tiny white flowers sits beneath a button-front cardigan, with tan ankle boots and a matching bag.

If you want to go a step further, try a white ribbon through a half-up braid like the hairstyle shown.

burgundy top and navy skirt

This is actually one of my favorite color combinations on the list. The burgundy short-sleeve top looks gorgeous with the long navy skirt.

I especially love the little printed scarf at the neck.

Try a narrow belt at the waist, then finish with burgundy shoes and a matching handbag.

checked dress and cream cardigan

If you are looking for something simple to put together, this one is for you. A cream cardigan sits over a long black-and-white checked dress with a square neckline.

I love the big pockets on the cardigan. Leave it open if you want the checked bodice to show.

cream sweater and mauve tiers

This is another pretty sweater-and-skirt pairing, but the mauve tiers make it a little different. I love the loose cream top with the cross pendant and stacked bracelets.

The neckline falls off one shoulder here. Choose a narrower neckline if you’d prefer to keep both shoulders covered.

cape sleeves and bold flowers

I am obsessed with this floral skirt. The large dark flowers look so pretty beneath the plain white cape-style top.

For a dressier outfit, follow the picture with white pointed heels and a small black handbag. The scarf tied around the handle is worth keeping too.

checked dress over a black top

Want to wear a sleeveless dress with a little more coverage? Layer it over a black high-neck top like this.

The brown-and-white checks look lovely beside the dark sleeves.

The black socks and brown shoes finish this outfit without adding another pattern.

matching red floral jumpsuits

Last but definitely not least, we have these matching red floral jumpsuits. I love the little white flowers and wide legs!

The adult look has short puff sleeves and a square neckline.

Try a tan bag like the one shown if you want a simple accessory alongside all that red.
