Hi, I am a fashion stylist, and I'm here in the heart of East London at the Pattern Market. This area is one of Britain's trendiest areas for a lot of fashion designers and for people who are heavily into the related scene, too. Let's go inside, and I'll show you some things on how to dress.

Afternoon teas, lunches with your grandma, afternoons with the parents on a Sunday - you might want to be thinking about dressing modestly for these occasions. How does one dress modestly? The key to dressing modestly is to think more ladylike on this particular thing, nothing too revealing around the cleavage. I'm wearing a Thomas pink shirt, it's made of stretch fabric.

By the end of the day, my collars are concealed, there's nothing hyper-revealing about my cleavage. The other tip to dressing modestly is you must feel comfortable. Comfortable, but without looking slouchy or too casual, and one of the tricks to that is enough of a knit waist but enough room around the behind.

I'm wearing a kilt, which gives me enough room to move effortlessly without wanting to look too tight or too revealing. And the correct hem length, which is just below the knee, especially when looking at modest outfits. I've also kind of coupled this with a corduroy blazer.

So, in an age where everyone is used to seeing everything on show, women revealing all sorts of parts of their body, sometimes it's a little bit more glossy to actually tone it down a little bit and dress a little bit more ladylike. And sometimes, that is best done with a touch of modesty. And those are my tips on how to dress modestly. .
