Ibtihaj Muhammad is a Muslim devotee who decided to take up fencing when she was just thirteen since it was one sport activity that would allow her to compete in modest outfits. She practiced through the years and continued in the university until she made history in 2016 by being the first American woman to compete in the Olympics wearing a hijab (women modesty veil).

From which she won a bronze medal and was ranked number two fencer in the U.S.A after she missed her spot to compete back in 2012 because of a hand injury. Before her record-breaking Olympic debut, Ibtihaj started a fashion brand called ‘Louella’ with her siblings, which targets women who like to dress modestly. Most clothes she shopped were hardly the right fit or were too expensive.

Feeling inspired by her personal experiences and seeing the gap in the fashion for women who wants to dress in a conservative yet fashionable way, Ibtihaj went all in. Bridging the gap with amazing price points alert (nothing in the store is above $200), and thoughtful pieces of clothing you can wear anywhere. Here are the 10 best modest outfits from Louella alternated between our favorite tops and sets.

They also look good on jeans but do not forget to accessorize.
