Shopping for fashionable and high-quality clothes can be difficult for everyone, especially on a college student’s budget. However, when you throw modesty into the equation, things can get a whole lot harder.

This is especially true because, in North America at least, there aren’t really any popular, trendy brands/stores that cater exclusively to those who prefer to dress in a more conservative manner.

That’s why, when I read this email, sent in by a CF reader, I thought it’d be a good idea to round up some stores that, while not exclusively modest, do tend to have a more buttoned-up aesthetic than most others that I’ve come across:

Hey guys,

I really enjoyed your article last year for dressing during summer months in response to my modest dressing struggles. Ive found myself frustrated because while midi and maxi dresses are now in style-they often feature deep v’s and high slits and spaghetti straps. And then the clothes that are more modest are quite pricey (Doen, sezane, gal meet glam). You should do an article that recommends clothing and shops based on style preferences. I saw you did an essentials article for preppy style including the best stores to shop them. It would be great to do one for modest dressers. Any sezane like affordable stores/brands would be great!

So, without further ado, here is my list of the best places to buy fashionable, modest clothing without breaking the bank — along with the best types of clothes to look for at each one.
