Salaam everyone :) Ramadan Kareeem (although ramadan is almost over) i hope you are all well.
We are in summer finally in the UK, I'm a few weeks late though - bare with me . Although I do love my abayas (every day guys ...every single day) , I wanted to switch it around and try some maxi skirts. However, I found myself in a bit of a pickle, the skirts were either not modest or extremely overpriced, so it took me a long while to find what I was looking for - an affordable modest maxi skirt. I've been shopping around I have spotted these great maxi skirts at decent prices, all different materials so you can pick which one you would prefer.
1. Jersey maxi skirt
I spotted this online when it was reduced to just £15, the material is jersey so it is extremely comfortable. The only problem I have with jersey material skirts or dresses is that they do tend to sometimes stick to your skin or in better words frame your silhouette, which is not what we want if looking for modest wear. So be sure to look out for that. The great thing about the warehouse website is that they have video so you can check out the flow of the material. I've selected this skirt because it looks slightly on the more baggy side, so there's less of chance it frames your what I call silhouette ( a little miranda line for you guys :p) giving you extra room.
I saw this skirt at a new look store and i just had to get it. The material and overall look of the skirt is simple yet sophisticated. The voile fabric is comfortable and covering (none of that see through stuff), as well as being really affordable. There is a vast amount of colours and sizes to choose from ( there's even a tall range). Just a slight warning, this material does crease so be sure to take care when storing this skirt, I would advise you to hang it after ironing instead of folding it to save you that extra bit of time when getting ready. This type of skirt can also be worn in the winter.
While visiting Leicester one weekend, I saw this shop called Select. I'm not really sure if they have a London store, I'll let you guys know if I find out. This store has amazing clothes and accessories at really good prices. I found this chiffon maxi skirt in the colour burgandy and indigo. Chiffon is great for all types of clothing, and especially for summer. Although chiffon does tend to be see through, this has a lining to give you that extra coverage, and don't be put off by the stock photo where it looks really see through on the bottom - it doesn't look that bad in real life. However, I do recommend you visit the store instead to make sure the fitting is correct if you are able to.
Finally....
I do hope that I've helped you on finding the perfect maxi skirt for this summer. I always recommend you go to the store if you can because even on the shelf, you can never really know how the skirt will look and feel when actually wearing it - it makes a very big difference. Type of material is always another thing to look out for too.
Take care xx
