Modesty Pins... The accessory you didn’t know you needed.

In the world of fashion, some of the most essential items are the least glamorous.  In this vein I’d like to introduce you to the humble modesty pin—tiny, discreet, and often overlooked, this little accessory is an everyday wardrobe superhero.

What is a Modesty Pin?

Modesty pins are small safety pins, magnets, or decorative clips used to secure clothing in a way that maintains coverage and comfort. They’re popular among women who wear hijab, abayas, for religious reasons, or loose-fitting garments such as a wrap top or low cut blouse. Their use however runs far beyond any single context.

Whether it's holding a scarf in place, preventing a wrap dress from slipping open, or adjusting the neckline of a blouse, modesty pins offer simple solutions to everyday outfit challenges.

Ladies I know we all have those tops in our wardrobes that we don’t wear because they’re just too revealing… You know you’ll have to spend your day with your hand on your top every time you bend down or lean in…

My modesty pins are available in a variety of designs, classic or more fashionable, they are perfect for securing overlapping layers or adjusting fit.  I’d describe it as style meeting function. These add flair while keeping everything in place. Use them as an extra button, or as a decorative accessory – you can add them to collars, bags or lanyards too.

Why They Matter

• Comfort & Confidence: They allow us ladies to customise our outfits to feel more secure and comfortable as we go about our daily lives
• Versatility: Modesty pins can transform one garment into multiple styles. A button-down shirt becomes a high-neck blouse. A tunic becomes more fitted or layered with ease.

How to Use Modesty Pins Effectively

Here are a few quick tips:

• Test Before You Pin: Always try the pin on a hidden section of fabric first to avoid visible damage.
• Double Up: For maximum security, use two pins at different angles.
• Match with Your Outfit: Go for neutral tones for a minimalist look, or match colours for a blended look

Modesty pins are such an understated accessory, their power lies in their quiet utility. Try one today, I think you’ll be surprised, it just might be the most useful item on your dressing table.
