modest dress

It is great we have such great guidance here on the forum network, there are alot of mis-informations on the internet regarding the modest dress subject.

I think the appropriate dress for the muslm woman is a subject that creates a lot of confusion and distraction. Some of the common misconceptions stem from conflating what individual muslimas choose to wear (according to their personal taste/culture/social environment) with what the Qur'an and Sunnah tell us about how to dress. The guidelines are in the Qur'aan and Hadith of the Prophet (SWS), not in the customs or desires of people.
When I first reverted, as a woman, there were changes to be made in my wardrobe and personal appearance. People generally advised me to dress "modestly"- ie cover a s much skin as possible. They told me that the hijab would come with time-  "the real hijab is in the heart",don't rush things, etc. It was only when I read more Qur'an and Hadith and understood more about my deen that I got the difference between what people may consider modest or appropriate and exactly how we are commanded to dress by Allah SWT. That's when I made the real adjustments to my dress and put on hijab full-time, and then graduated to abaya- which I love!
If muslimas desire to wear black or white or hot pink, there is no harm in it, it's according to custom or choice- not because their religion dictates it. Like wise, wearing the niqab which covers the face, is not an obligation- outside somewhere like Saudi Arabia, that is! It tends to be a personal decision- and don't think it's because some man is forcing them to do so! In fact, there are some fathers and husbands that don't like their daughters and wives to wear hijab, much less niqab. I myself would like to go further in my covering and wear niqab, but as my husband isn't so keen on it I'm not!
Hope that helps you some, and congragulations on becoming a muslima- alhamdulillah! Read as much as you can and increase your knowledge, inshallah, which will arm you for everything you have to face. Many muslims will advise you, and they may be well intentioned, but don't base your decisions purely on what people say- believe me, you will hear lots of conflicting things!

MashaAllah, its good to see people helping each other however I have read or seen lots of thing about women dress in Islam but how about brothers? they should have restrictions on their Islamic dress like women, but why no budy talks about it?????
