Hairstylist Hali Jufri, 31, believes that dressing modestly is more than covering herself from head to toe.

What modest fashion means to her: "Everyone has a different definition of what is modest. Some think it's about covering oneself from head to toe, but I think it's more than that. How you talk and portray yourself is important too.

I don't show a lot of skin because I don't like it; I prefer to cover myself up a bit more. To me, showing cleavage is not modest, but I think a sleeveless top with a long pair of pants or skirt is modest."

On her style: "I gravitate towards prints and colours. Many friends say my style is loud, but I think it's not loud enough.

I usually shop at thrift and vintage stores when I travel to places such as Japan, Europe and South Korea.

I seldom shop here because I hate to wear the same thing as someone else. Also, I can find unique pieces in vintage stores.

I wear glasses and have about 20 pairs. I like vintage cat-eye frames and especially those with patterns and colours. I feel that frames that are too minimalist look studious on me."
