No, that isn\u2019t an inspirational Jewish bumper sticker\u2014yet. Guess again.<\/p>\n

Advice for keeping cool while staying covered up was the focus of a Loving Your Body<\/a> post featured on The Today Show <\/em>website last week.<\/p>\n

The content is taken from modest fashion bloggers ranging from Muslim to Christian women, and Jewish blogger Sharon Langert of Fashion-Isha<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tips include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Remember that looser is cooler.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cWhile summer tends to be a time when women reach for tighter, fitted pieces, the experts say to trade mini-skirts and tube-tops for loose, flowing pieces like maxi dresses or tunic tops that allow for air circulation,\u201d Sharon Langert recommends.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Avoid the urge to layer.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u201cInstead of buying two shirts to wear at the same time, look for pieces that already cover the parts of your body you want to cover,\u201d suggests blogger Ikhlas Hussain \u00a0of The Muslim Girl<\/a>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Choose the right fabrics for the season.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        “Your skin will love you if you stick to wearing\u00a0lightweight<\/a>, breathable fabrics in the summertime,” said Liz Roy, described as a \u201cChristian style enthusiast\u201d the blog Downtown Demure<\/a>. Liz added that cotton, silk, chambray, linen and jersey are the fabrics she chooses for hot weather.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Make friends with maxis.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u201cBecause of their length, choosing a variety of maxi skirts and dresses in breathable, lightweight fabrics is a sure way to remain covered but cool,\u201d according to Liz Roy.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Have fun with accessories.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Straw totes, wide-brimmed hats, dainty ring stacks, strappy sandals and accessories with tassels add summer flair without adding heat.<\/p>\n

            On a side note, another popular option for the modest consumer is the cocktail dress. \u201cChoose materials appropriate to the season such as satin and silk in the summer,\u201d advises blogger The Modest Fashonista<\/a>. Cocktail dresses are versatile for day and night, both for informal and formal settings and are common attire in Orthodox circles.<\/p>\n

            Marriage and Family Therapist Aviva Rizel, who writes a popular column for the OU \u201cAsk Aviva\u201d<\/em> recently addressed a mother\u2019s concern regarding teaching her a daughter about tzniut<\/em> and internalizing its message versus the pressures to conform around her. \u00a0The full article, \u201cAsk Aviva: Modest Mommy\u201d<\/em> can be read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
