Modesty and the beach

[Christgirl67]

Hello!This is something I have been wanting to ask for a while.I am a young woman,and I will be going on vacation and going to the beach.Is there a way I can dress modestly,or should I just not go to the beach?

How modest do you want to be? The burkini's a very good option if you want to be very modest.

Pretty modest.I dont have to have my head covered up or anything,but I do not want to show my legs or chest at all.But that is a good suggestion,I will look it up

You can wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing. I do not see a reason to avoid the beach. Christians can make sandcastles too

Personally, I normally wear t-shirt and shorts on the beach (for paddling). Not short shorts though. If I wanted to swim in the sea I would wear a costume but my local water isn't appealing. Next year I'm wearing dresses

I do not think that you would be causing anyone to stumble as there will be plenty of other people there and wearing whatever they feel comfortable in, which might be a lot less.

I see what you mean,but I am Pentecostal,and we do not believe in showing any skin above the knee or showing our chest or anything,and sometimes finding beachwear that fits that critera is difficult.I also do not wear pants or shorts,just skirts or sports,so its hard to find something to wear.

 

[Sam91]

Just wear what is comfortable. If you're going to be fully covered probably stick to light colours so you're not too hot and it'll look more summery and stand out less.

My shorts being long make me look about 20 years older :') But it's what we have do for modesty sake when the retailers hardly cater for it.

You can go but you may need to wear shorts and a tee shirt. Although there are swim suits that are modest enough to wear on the beach. My wife and her family are very modest when they go swimming. But they do not stand out in any way so as to draw any attention to themselves.

I had a discussion with my pastor at church about this once. I though that the bathing suit his daughters wore was to revealing. He talked it over with his wife and they agreed with me and after that they would wear something a bit more modest so as not to offend anyone. They are very good kids. They all have gotten very advanced degrees in engineering and science today. I use to be really impressed at how close they were as a family.

Hi there, yes there are so called sarongs like thin to thicker cardigans, long ones too you can look for. They quite cover but are part of being swim wear

 

[Godcrazy]

You can even get pants that are made for swim wear. That and a top for swimming and a sarong . ​

 

[Godcrazy]

I'd probably go for swimsuit or if I had a bikini I'd certainly go for the sarong.

I'd say shorts, and a t-shirt. Anything beyond that and you won't be able to swim. Then again, maybe a surfer suit. Maybe capris.

A light and breezy summer kaftkan covers everything from top to bottom

Yeah, but swimming in a caftan would be hard! That's why I recommended something specifically designed for modesty while swimming.

What about something like this?

It says maternity wear, it Looks like it would be great for unexpecting women too different styles and a little pricey but how often do you find stuff like this at Walmart?

 

[teresa]

^great find! Love the pretty and longer swim skirt on that, plus the leggings underneath
