1
Understand what it is to dress demurely. This does NOT mean you must dress in a boring fashion with a monotone color palette. It DOES mean dressing modestly, but fashionably.
-
2
Look for clothes that do not reveal too much skin, such as long pants, full-length skirts, long-sleeved shirts and modest necklines. Short-sleeved tops are also acceptable, as well as dresses and skirts that reach to the knee.
-
3
Look for clothes that flatter your figure. In other words, select clothes that are not saggy and baggy, but are also not form-fitting.
-
4
Choose softer, flowing fabrics with subtle colors and patterns.
-
5
Select shoes that are closed- or peep-toed, with little or no heel.
-
6
Accessorize through simple accents, such as soft ornaments (for example, puffy sleeves or frills around the collar and hemline) and simple belts.
-
7
Select outfits that make you feel sophisticated and powerful, but still sexy in a subtle way.

8
Keep hair and makeup light and simple. Go for the "natural beauty" look.

Tips & Warnings
Keep it simple!
Limit the number of accessories and accents you pair with your clothes.
Feel free to wear something sleeveless or strapless; just pair it with a light cardigan or shawl.
Avoid block patterns and busy patterns, as well as bright colors, particularly bright colors set against black.
Avoid miniskirts, dresses and short-shorts (sorry, no Daisy Dukes). Stay away from plunging backs and necklines, sheer fabrics and fabrics such as clingy satin and bondage-tight leather.
Don't overaccessorize. Use jewelry sparingly.
