Islam has strongly emphasized the concept of decency and modesty.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thetempest.co/2016/06/10/style/fashion/i-used-my-religion-as-an-excuse-to-hide-my-body-until-now/|title=I used my religion as an excuse to hide my body – until now|last=Ali|first=Fatima|date=2016-06-10|website=The Tempest|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-29}}</ref> In many authentic [[hadith]]s, it has been quoted that "modesty([[Haya (Islam)|Haya]]) is a part of faith".<ref>{{cite web | url=http://40hadithnawawi.com/index.php/the-hadiths/hadith-20 | title=Hadith 20 :: Modesty is from Faith | publisher=40hadithnawawi.com | access-date=27 July 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150810122508/http://40hadithnawawi.com/index.php/the-hadiths/hadith-20 | archive-date=10 August 2015 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Modesty is verily required in the interaction between members of the opposite sex and in some case between the members of same sex also. Dress code is part of that overall teaching.

Among Muslim consumers, spending on modest fashion rose by 4.8% between 2022 and 2023 and is expected to reach $428 billion by 2027. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-09-17 |title=The modest fashion industry is on the rise - MediaCat UK |url=https://mediacat.uk/the-modest-fashion-industry-is-on-the-rise/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |language=en-GB}}</ref>

====Women====
"And tell the believing women to cast down their glances and guard their [[Intimate part|private parts]] and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women." -Quran 24:31.

"O Prophet! Say to your wives, your daughters, and the women of the believers that: they should let down upon themselves their jalabib." -Quran 33:59. Jalabib is an Arabic word meaning "loose outer garment".

In some Muslim societies, women wear the [[niqab]], a veil that covers the whole face except the eyes, or the full [[burqa]], a full-body covering garment that occasionally does cover the eyes. Wearing these garments is common in some, but not all, countries with a predominately Muslim population.

Though by some scholars these expressions of modesty are interpreted as mandatory, most countries do not enforce modesty by law. However, a few countries, such as [[Saudi Arabia]], Afghanistan and Iran, enforce specified standards of dress for women.

====Men====
"Tell the believing men to cast down their glances and guard their private parts. That is purer for them. Indeed, Allah is [well] acquainted with what they do." -Quran 24:30

Most scholars agree that men are required to cover everything from the navel to the knees; some men choose also to wear the traditional Islamic cap [[Taqiyah (cap)|(taqiyah)]], similar to the Jewish [[yarmulke]] or [[kippah]]. The taqiyah may vary in shape, size, and color, with differences according to tradition, region, and personal taste.
