Some plain modern resources:

  • Garlands of Grace's One of a Kind coverings are particularly lovely while still seeming modern.

  • Shukr Islamic Clothing for Men and Women. Very exotic but full-coverage clothing options.
  • Modest Clothing Directory. Has a "trendy" section and a "modern" section.
