Check this out:  Eliza is a new magazine that concentrates, apparently, on more modest clothing.  I found out about it from FunkyFrum.com.

Scroll down a bit to get to the section called Keeping Your Cool.

I like this tip:  “Wear your hair up. It is amazing how much cooler you feel just getting your hair off your neck…”  I know, I know…elementary, right?  But it’s worth thinking about growing your hair longer in summer if it makes the difference in getting it off your neck!

Modern Traditional is an interesting site that “keeps track of current style trends in traditional clothing and arts, in various countries, and covers modesty issues that are applicable to many cultures and religious backgrounds.” 

They have a helpful article on dressing to keep cool in the hot summer months. 

 While you’re at the site, also check out the article, “Hijab – It’s Not Just for Muslims.”  Interesting.

They have a couple of cool headwrap how-tos, as well.  I like this site!

In her blog, Shelina Zahra Janmohamed muses on her fashion choices as a Muslim:  “How do I combine my value of modest dress with my human desire to be fashionable? “

Modesty gives us a freedom the world cannot give, says Quaker Frances-Clare Fischer. 

 While we’re on the subject, check out Lorcan Otway’s photos of Plain Friends at Flickr.
