What it is

Modest tops, often searched as blouse muslimah, are the easy-to-mix pieces of a modest wardrobe: relaxed cuts, sleeves that cover the arms, and fabrics that suit a warm climate. This edit brings together TheBubblyGem's everyday tops and pants in one place — a linen-blend top with a gathered yoke, a satin top with lace trim, a crinkle cotton top, and high-waist wide-leg pants to wear with them.

Who it's for

Women building an everyday modest wardrobe — for the office, brunch, errands or family visits — who want pieces that mix with the skirts and pants they already own. A top is also the quickest way to refresh a look without buying a full set, and an easy thing to gift.

Occasion & styling

For hot daytime outings, the linen-blend Hilda top has a relaxed silhouette, a gathered yoke and puff sleeves with elastic cuffs, so it stays light and keeps its shape through the day. For dinners and events, a satin top such as Katrina adds a cinched waist, lace trim and a peplum-style hem, and pairs well with a printed skirt or tailored pants. Crinkle cotton keeps casual days light and easy. Wear any of them with our high-waist wide-leg pants for a relaxed, put-together look, layer a piece from our shawls collection over the top for extra coverage, or switch to one of our modest dresses when you want a one-piece outfit.

What to look for

• Fabric: linen blend for cool, breathable daytime wear; satin for a dressier sheen; crinkle cotton for a light, casual texture
• Sleeves and cut: puff sleeves with elastic cuffs stay put and cover the arms; a gathered yoke gives a relaxed drape, while a cinched waist and peplum-style hem add shape
• Pants: high-waist, wide-leg and relaxed in fit, in lightweight denim and flowy fabric options
• Size: S to XL, with a size chart on every product page covering pit-to-pit (PTP), sleeve length, armhole and length. Not sure which to pick? Our Sizing Guide walks through how to measure and choose.
• Colour: each top comes in several prints and shades, so choose one that works with the bottoms you already own, and tap "Notify me" on any sold-out size to be told when it is back in stock
• Care: check the care label first; as a general rule, linen blends and satin keep their finish best with a gentle wash and low-heat ironing
