Modest dressing is nothing new, but the phrase has become more prominent in mainstream fashion in the last few years, and as such, there are lots more options for those who favour covering up. Here, we’ve curated the more sustainable brands whose collections include clothes for modest dressing—from long dresses to co-ords, tights, headscarves, and more.

What is modest dressing?

The definition of modest dressing isn’t clear cut, but ultimately it’s about wearing clothes that cover much of the body and are often loose-fitting. Modest dressing is a celebration of cultural identity, gender expression, and religion, too. And while it’s often associated with faith, modest dressing can be adopted by anyone, no matter their beliefs—it’s simply about wearing what feels right for you and brings the most joy when you’re deciding what to wear in the morning. As such, it’s a great example of dressing according to your unique values, which we love to see.

Which brands are making clothes for sustainable modest dressing?

A quick Google for modest dressing brings up top results from “We Avoid”-rated fast fashion brands Temu and SHEIN. But there is good news—plenty of more sustainable brands out there are making clothes that can be incorporated into modest wardrobes. From high fashion leaders like Stella McCartney (“Good”), to more affordable makers such as Kotn and Omnes (both “Good”), and hijab specialist Silq Rose (“It’s a Start”). Think maxi dresses, long-sleeved tops, tights, scarves that double as headscarves, and flowing trousers. Let’s get into it.

Officeworks launches all-women-led commercial solar project

Officeworks, Smart Commercial Solar and Australian Women in Solar Energy (AWISE) have partnered to launch an all-women-led commercial solar project.

The project will take place at Officeworks Bundoora in Victoria, featuring a 96 kW rooftop solar system — 16 times the size of an average home system. The process of this initiative — from analysis and project management to engineering and performance monitoring — will be led exclusively by female professionals.

“Officeworks is incredibly proud to be part of this initiative, which aligns with our commitment to ensuring our team represents the communities in which we live and work,” said Officeworks Head of Property Kylie Brockett. “There is no limit to what we as women can accomplish and I am so proud to be part of the world’s first ever all-women commercial solar install at Bundoora Officeworks.

“This project is a true celebration of women in action — designed, managed and executed entirely by female professionals across property, engineering, project management, analysis, marketing and installation.”

With Australia targeting 82% renewable energy by 2030, this project aims to highlight the breadth of career opportunities available, inspire more young women to enter the industry, and contribute to its rapid expansion.

“This project is about showcasing the incredible work of the women on our team, but also about inspiring the next generation. The renewable energy sector is growing fast, and if we want it see it evolve and succeed, we need more women to see themselves in these careers,” said Smart Commercial Solar Chief of Staff Kathryn Hoogesteger.

AWISE Founding Director Sophie Wright added, “Women have been making significant contributions to the solar industry for years, but this project provides an unprecedented opportunity to showcase their expertise across every stage of a commercial-scale project. By increasing visibility and breaking down barriers, we can attract more women into the industry and help build a more diverse, skilled workforce.”

Adding to its sustainability efforts, Officeworks’ entire operations have been powered by renewable electricity since 1 January 2025.
