The Importance of Modest Chic & How MENA Influencers Are Redefining The Style

We cannot deny that inclusivity is something essential to have incorporated in fashion trends, whether it’s with luxury brands or streetwear. However, one of the main reasons why modest style has become so popular is the individuals that have been representing it. From the likes of Leena Ghouti to Yara Al Namlah, these women have been revolutionizing conservative chic and how it is manifested, especially in the digital medium.

Obviously, being online has played a significant role in the rise of this style. Especially with TikTok and GRWM trends, modest fashion influencers have been able to reach a wider audience and showcase their unique styles.

On the other hand, designers have also taken notice of the growing demand for modest fashion. Dolce And Gabbana have been releasing Ramadan collections for the past years. Dior has also jumped on that train, tailoring to their customers in the Middle East, in addition to Louis Vuitton being part of the modest luxury phenomenon.

Local brands have also dipped their hands in the industry as well, to create more affordable pieces for the region. This has made modest fashion more accessible to women everywhere, as they no longer need to look for specialized boutiques or custom tailoring to find what they need.

Now let’s look at actual examples. Here are our top influencers that give us modest fashion inspiration on the daily. From edgy style to elegant, from casual to sophisticated, check out these amazing women that have been redefining modest fashion style in the region:
