Designed in, never added on

Our modesty standards, in numbers.

Every brand says "modest". Here is what the word means at NOOR - measured, testable, and true of every piece we sell, not just the careful ones.

The four standards

[Every number below is a placeholder until Jack sets the real line].

Necklines

[No lower than X cm below the collarbone]

Measured on a real body, not a mannequin. If a neckline needs a camisole to behave, we redesign the neckline - we do not sell you the camisole problem.

Hemlines

[Skirts and dresses cover the knee, standing and sitting]

Tested sitting down, because that is where hemlines tell the truth.

Sleeves

[Every dress and top covers the elbow]

Not "most styles". Every one. A sleeveless NOOR piece does not exist.

Opacity

[No layering needed, in daylight, in every color]

Held up to a window before it is approved. The pale colors get the same test as the dark ones.

What we will not do

The other half of a standard.

No "modest-ish" capsule. We will not make a revealing line and call the rest of the catalog the modest one. The standard is the whole store.

No shrinking standards. If a standard ever changes, it changes toward more coverage, announced on this page - never quietly toward less.

No preaching. These are our standards for our clothes, not a verdict on anyone else's closet.

Honest note: design preview. Every measurement is bracketed - Jack sets the real lines, and lane 3 words the final copy. The proposal is the principle: modesty stated in numbers a customer can hold us to, tested the way clothes are actually worn.
