Classically Abby - You CAN Be Modest In Summer! ☀️👗 ｜｜ How To Dress Modestly Even When It's Hot Outside

00:00:00.080 Hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking about 1.00

00:00:04.320 how to dress modestly and classically for summer.

00:00:11.000 It is summertime and it is so hot outside.

00:00:14.840 I think we can all agree that it is really hot and when it's hot outside it can be more

00:00:19.420 difficult to dress modestly because you want to wear less things because it's hot and you

00:00:24.480 want to have less stuff on your body.

00:00:26.760 So I totally get that a lot of people have been asking me lately, how do you dress modestly

00:00:32.000 in summer time?

00:00:33.340 What do you recommend?

00:00:34.600 How should we do it?

00:00:35.800 So I thought I would share with you a few different things that I do when I'm dressing in the summer

00:00:40.840 so that I can stay modest but not be totally overheated.

00:00:44.080 I'm also going to use this as an opportunity to share a couple of things that I found while

00:00:48.000 thrifting.

00:00:49.000 So guys, I just started thrifting and I love it.

00:00:52.760 I think that's kind of my new favorite thing.

00:00:55.040 It feels like a treasure hunt finding awesome pieces of clothing for like $5 and under and

00:01:00.220 so two of the pieces that I have today were thrifted so I'm really excited about that.

00:01:04.660 You guys left me some great comments about some tips and tricks to use when I'm going

00:01:09.180 out thrifting so I'm going to use that too and maybe I'll take you guys thrifting with

00:01:12.700 me sometime.

00:01:13.700 Let me know in the comments if that's something that you'd be interested in seeing but I really

00:01:16.960 enjoy seeing what I can find and all of that fun stuff.

00:01:20.040 I also briefly wanted to mention that I think it's a really nice thing in the summertime

00:01:24.940 to wear nail polish because I'm going to be wearing nail polish in all of these outfits.

00:01:29.220 Obviously I didn't change it for each outfit so I think red nail polish in the summertime

00:01:32.920 is so classic.

00:01:34.220 It is so pretty and I like gels because they don't come off so of course if you're not

00:01:39.000 somebody who likes wearing nail polish don't worry about it just stick with your plain

00:01:42.560 nails that's great.

00:01:43.800 But if you're somebody who wants to wear nail polish red is such a classic fun summer color.

00:01:48.220 The funny thing is is that my studio is on one side of our house and for some reason

00:01:52.300 this studio gets so hot and then I turn on all the lights and it is like a sauna in here so

00:01:58.220 I am definitely sweating and that is not my favorite thing to do but I have come up with

00:02:04.140 some good ideas for how to beat the heat and still be modest.

00:02:07.500 So let's get into it.

00:02:08.700 The first outfit I want to talk about is a more dressy look something that you could wear

00:02:12.220 to maybe dinner out on a patio or something if you guys are going to be dressing up a little

00:02:17.100 bit more and I love this dress it was so inexpensive I think I got it for like $25 from Charlotte

00:02:22.460 Russe and it is really flattering the things that I like about it are one it has ruffles

00:02:27.580 which is so feminine two it has navy and blue stripes which everyone knows I love and three

00:02:34.300 it really nips you in at the waist which is incredibly flattering it's also a really light

00:02:39.900 cotton fabric and wearing something like that in the summer really does help with the heat

00:02:45.260 now one of the things I'm a really big proponent of in the summertime is wearing skirts and dresses

00:02:49.660 the fact of the matter is that skirts and dresses are just lighter and people can complain and say

00:02:53.900 they want to wear shorts which hey I'm not opposed to but wearing skirts is actually really nice you

00:02:59.500 get the breeze and it just keeps you cool so I am a big proponent of wearing dresses and skirts in

00:03:03.740 the summer which makes things easier when it comes to dressing modestly and this dress is just so

00:03:09.100 pretty so cute and I put a nude cami underneath it just because it's a little too low cut for me

00:03:14.060 so that's just an easy solution and I don't mind wearing a camisole in the summer especially if

00:03:18.700 it's a lightweight camisole because then it's not really weighing you down making you sweat but

00:03:23.500 finding a cute summer dress is such a good plan for the summertime you can find dresses like this

00:03:29.580 pretty much everywhere that will have like a little cap sleeve or a print that you really enjoy

00:03:34.380 that nips you in at the waist and that has that really light fabric and this is something that

00:03:38.540 you can honestly dress up or dress down I'm choosing to dress this one up because I think you can

00:03:43.660 but you can also easily dress this down and not worry about it at all so wearing a cute light

00:03:48.780 summer dress is one of my favorite things for summertime and that is still modest and classic

00:03:53.740 now to make this dress a little bit more fancy I paired it with some really fancy accessories so I

00:03:58.620 chose these statement earrings which are really fun I just got them at J.Crew they were on major sale and

00:04:03.740 I thought they were really fun and they're good for an evening out I wouldn't necessarily recommend

00:04:08.060 wearing earrings like this during the day just all day because they're really heavy and they can like pull on

00:04:12.060 your earlobe but wearing them for a few hours in the evening is just going to be that perfect sweet

00:04:16.140 spot and it really makes this outfit summery and more dressy and then because these earrings are so

00:04:21.660 big and make such a statement I chose a daintier necklace this is from Rachel in Jewelry I did a

00:04:26.220 giveaway with her a few months back but I'll link her Instagram below and this is a really beautiful

00:04:30.460 necklace that's dainty it has a pendant and it looks very summery because it has that kind of sun star

00:04:36.060 effect and then I paired the whole outfit with a pair of blue and white striped wedges of course the blue and

00:04:41.820 white stripes are a little bit different but I think that they kind of work as a neutral and

00:04:45.740 they give you that really fancy elevated look by just being a wedge that gives you a little bit of

00:04:50.300 height on the heel so I really enjoy this outfit I think this is a really nice dress and it's the

00:04:55.660 perfect version of dressy for summer because it's just not overly done and it keeps you cool while also

00:05:01.820 being pretty and fancy next up is outfit number two so I think maxi dresses in the summertime especially if

00:05:08.380 they are lightweight are perfect this is something you can wear on the boardwalk something that's a

00:05:13.420 little bit more casual but it's still a little bit dressy and I love this dress it is so pretty

00:05:19.900 so lightweight and it really just makes a statement on its own and I chose to pair it with a few different

00:05:25.020 things but a dress like this really does stand on its own so if you wanted to wear it just by itself

00:05:29.580 it would still look absolutely perfect but just wearing a maxi dress that appeals to you that has a higher

00:05:34.540 neckline or a little sleeve or something that gives you that modesty without being overly heavy is going

00:05:40.380 to make this whole outfit work for you and it will make you feel modest even in summertime so I chose

00:05:46.300 to pair this dress with a really lightweight scarf that has daisies on it and it really doesn't make you

00:05:51.900 overheated but it's just something that's like an accessory that doesn't actually get in the way of

00:05:56.140 making you hotter but it just gives a little bit of extra oomph to this outfit and then I wore some gold

00:06:01.260 flip-flops because I thought that the gold flip-flops really just made the dress a little bit 0.90

00:06:04.620 fancier as well as these really pretty silver earrings that have a bunch of crystals in them

00:06:10.220 which I think are so so pretty and this just makes this dress go from a little bit more casual to

00:06:15.260 slightly more fancy the gold flip-flops kind of walk that line between being fancy and casual so I

00:06:19.820 just really like that this outfit could transition from walking on the boardwalk to getting dinner but

00:06:24.700 it's just the perfect look for when you want to be comfortable not overheated but you're still wearing

00:06:30.140 something that's light and it's not going to make you overheated in the summertime next up is outfit

00:06:34.700 number three and I think this is a really cute look for brunch with the girls or something like that

00:06:39.500 this is a great outfit again skirts all the way in summertime I think they are so helpful to keep

00:06:46.220 away the heat they just are such a perfect option when you're trying not to get overheated and this one

00:06:51.900 is really fun it's got this safari look with the buttons down the front and this kind of green material

00:06:57.420 I absolutely love this skirt and it really nips you in at the waist and then wearing a cute little 0.83

00:07:01.740 patterned top that is sleeveless so you don't have to cover up your arms and you're not super overheated

00:07:08.060 and just the pairing of the blousier top with the nipped in waist looks absolutely great finding a

00:07:12.940 skirt that works for you that nips you in in the waist and that's a little bit more a-line and then 0.83

00:07:17.260 pairing it with a blouse that you really like will just be a perfect outfit for you I really like the

00:07:22.300 idea of pairing this outfit with a pair of wood earrings because I thought that that really kind of

00:07:26.860 went with the tone of the skirt and it just kind of made everything tied together and then I even

00:07:32.700 went a little bit further with these heels which I absolutely love they're so cool and I got them a

00:07:37.980 really long time ago but they still fit and they've got these cool studs but the style of them is still

00:07:42.460 really classic so it doesn't look edgy it just looks really good for summer time and this is just

00:07:47.740 a great look it's not heavy it's not hot but it still is modest and it's going to keep you cool

00:07:54.700 outfit number four is the truly casual look that you can wear to a barbecue I mean this is perfect

00:08:00.940 for summer probably what you're imagining when you talk about what you want to wear in the summer

00:08:05.100 time so this is a great pair of thrifted bermuda shorts I got these at the thrift store for four

00:08:11.020 dollars I only had to do some minor alterations essentially these are a little bit sheer so I

00:08:16.620 actually had to cut out the pockets because you could easily see them and then I sewed up the pockets so

00:08:21.100 that you couldn't just see a hole so these are perfect for summer I mean they are the perfect

00:08:27.020 length the perfect weight they're seersucker and I love the yellow it's so fun and comfortable and cute

00:08:33.500 and they hit a really good part of the body they are a little bit high-waisted and I actually wore

00:08:38.140 this with my husband's white button-down if you have your own white button-down go for that but I was

00:08:42.860 able to use my husband's you can absolutely borrow from your husband if you want and I just tied this

00:08:48.220 right at the waist if you're worried about it coming up and showing your stomach you can always

00:08:52.140 put a nude cami underneath and it's just a really cute perfect for summer outfit because both of

00:08:58.140 these pieces are really lightweight cotton you don't have to worry about it being really overheating and

00:09:04.780 hot but the length of these bermuda shorts are perfect I would say they're modest you don't have

00:09:08.940 to worry about them being too short I'm not against you wearing shorter shorts if you want to but if

00:09:14.380 you're going to wear shorter shorts you should always be a little bit more covered up on the top

00:09:18.220 that's kind of my philosophy on shorts or anything that's kind of showing a little bit more skin here

00:09:23.660 you cover up there and I think that that is the best solution but these are just the perfect length

00:09:28.700 you can find bermuda shorts basically everywhere I mean I'm pretty sure old navy sells them every season

00:09:33.900 so if you want to get a pair from them they're probably really inexpensive and then just tying on a

00:09:38.940 white button down is the most classic thing ever and you will look great and I just paired these with

00:09:45.660 some white sneakers so I wear these in a lot of my videos but they're really comfortable and pairing

00:09:49.980 a white pair of sneakers with pretty much any outfit is going to work together and this is just a

00:09:54.460 great look for when you want to hang out with family not worry about getting too hot not worry

00:09:59.980 about if you want to wear a skirt and you want to be playing with the kids whatever it is this is just a

00:10:04.060 really good and easy outfit and with this look I just paired a small gold hoop with a necklace that

00:10:10.540 has stars on it I have been loving these two paired together I almost never take them off and to be

00:10:14.700 completely honest in the summer time I kind of understand the idea of just wearing one thing the

00:10:19.340 whole summer and not really taking it off so I've been wearing these earrings these bracelets and this

00:10:25.020 necklace like non-stop this entire summer so that is what I wore with this outfit just these cute little

00:10:30.860 hoops and this star necklace and it's just easy you don't even have to think about it and it's cute and

00:10:35.100 it goes with everything and adds a little bit of flair last but not least I would call this a picnic

00:10:39.420 outfit it's really cute and fun maybe if you're going on a date to a park it's another thrifted find

00:10:46.060 this skirt is so cute and it was four dollars and I didn't have to do anything to it I love it

00:10:51.900 it's so comfortable cute lightweight goes with everything and so so modest I absolutely love this skirt

00:10:59.340 and I just did a similar thing with this outfit that I did with the last one where I took actually

00:11:03.500 my own shirt that has polka dots and it's a button down so I tied it at the waist and it just looks

00:11:08.700 so so cute with a high-waisted gathered skirt like this and again you can definitely find skirts like

00:11:13.900 this available online or in stores and just tying a shirt with that makes it so so easy and I just

00:11:20.140 think this is a really nice lightweight version of something you could wear out and not be overheated

00:11:25.740 and it's perfect for summertime now for the accessories I wanted to do something a little

00:11:29.340 bit special so I took this little orange scarf that I have which I love wearing in the summer

00:11:34.060 and I tied it around my hair and I think it looks so cute with this outfit it's just a little pop of

00:11:39.500 color that's a little bit different than the blue skirt which I love it's the contrasting color scheme 0.56

00:11:44.060 which looks really cute with this outfit and then I paired it with this mrs necklace which I love

00:11:50.060 this necklace I got it when Jacob and I got married and I just really like it I think it's fun and cute

00:11:55.180 and it's something that you would wear on a date so I love that and then I paired that with my wedges

00:11:59.900 again because when you're going to a picnic you're not going to be walking around that much but you're

00:12:03.660 also going to be on the grass probably so you don't want to be in real heels because they'll sink but

00:12:07.980 wearing a pair of wedges will just be perfect and will give you that little cute look to this outfit 0.98

00:12:14.140 so that's everything that's how I dress modestly in the summertime it's really just wearing lightweight fabrics

00:12:20.620 not wearing heavy clothing putting on a lot of skirts and dresses that are made of light cottons

00:12:26.300 and I'm not opposed to wearing sleeves in the summer as long as it's something that is lightweight

00:12:30.940 so that's how I dress modestly and classically in the summertime but I'd love to hear what you guys
