ModiCombo Spring/Summer Series: Staying Cool but Modest!

Welcome to the ModiCombo (Modest Clothing Combinations) series!  This series will focus on the fashion side of modesty and how you can still be cute while appropriately covering your body.  Each season has a series.  This is for Spring/Summer!

  Summer is quickly approaching, and girls are now donning the mini shorts and tank tops.  Many questions arise when you're trying to stay modest in the summer heat.  Here is one that I have received in many different ways:

"How can I stay cool (referring to body temperature) wearing a skirt? Don't your legs get hot?" 

 I actually asked myself this when I began my journey towards modesty.  Where I live, it can get up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, so of course I was thinking that I would be "on fire" for three months!  However, there are many ways to keep cool and fresh in that sweltering summer heat.  One is:

#1: WEAR CLOTHING MADE WITH BREATHABLE FABRIC

This would include natural fabrics such as:

• ~Linen
• ~Cotton
• ~Wool
• ~Silk

And Man-made fabrics such as:

• ~Bamboo
• ~Lyocell (aka Tensel)

• ~Modal

If you have never heard of some of these fabrics or would like to know where to buy them, feel free to leave a comment!
