Modest fashion: 6 stylish lines to keep on your radar

The thought of dressing modestly once only held close cultural ties, but now it's a style of dressing many people adore.

In 2018, major retailer H&M created an entire collection dedicated to designs that catered to modest dressing. A year before that, Nike debuted its first Hijab.

More recently, model Halima Aden stunned the world as the first model to appear in a Sports Illustrated issue with a burkini, which is a full body swimsuit traditionally worn by Muslim women.

Dena Mekawi, International Affairs Director of the Arab Fashion Council and CEO of Style & Resilience, is a first generation Muslim American. She explained to "Good Morning America" how interesting it is to see Muslims and modest dressing become such a huge asset within the fashion world.

"Many mainstream outlets have created looks for Eid (a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims at the end of Ramadan) in the last few years," says Mekawi.

"I would love to see more American designers producing exclusive modest designs," she continued.

As times continue to change, designers are opening up to inclusive designs to fit the needs of women and men of all different backgrounds.

Ahead, check out six stylish designer lines at the forefront when it comes to modest clothing.
