WHAT I LIKED
Ready your phones. this is a book to read with IG open. Lodi purposefully makes it easy for readers to connect to the brands, influencers, writers, EVERYTHING in the realm of modest fashion. I loved scanning the interviewee's profiles as I read. She even includes a little black book of key players with descriptions in the back.
//
Modest fashion is a complex topic. Everyone has their own definition. It can be an upfront reflection of one's beliefs, ideals, and comfort. Lodi examines how modest fashion became mainstream and asks the question: is it here to stay? Her discussions are wonderfully divided into thematic chapters with an effort to answer the big question evolved in the conclusion.
//
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
I wanted more details of modest clothing trends' effect on everyday people. What effect has modest fashion created outside of the realm of fashion bloggers, models, and Instagram? Lodi does a great job mentioning follow counts and brand sales to depict growing trends around the world. I want to learn about the psychology of modest fashion. How have these trends affect people's thinking? I wanted to delve deeper into this plot hole.
