Dressing Modestly — and My Black Jewish Hair

For Erika Davis, moving within the different branches of Judaism is like wrapping herself in traditions. That is interesting when contemplating how, when and why she wraps her hair.

Exercise skirts?

Frumblr (and maybe jumblr) but really just all my fellow tzinus & modestly-inclined pals: Any recommendations for skirts to exercise in?

More specifically, I cycle and would like some skirts to wear over skin-tight biking tights. I’d be interested both in light-weight ones, and in warmer ones to layer for cold weather. (I bike in weather from high 80s F to like 40s F, which is like 30ish C to like 6-7 C. Yes, I am crazy.)

I’m guessing at least below the knee is a good idea so it doesn’t flip and show things, but any other guidelines besides that? How far below the knee would y’all recommend for avoiding the risk of flipping? What fabrics do y’all recommend? I will probably be thrifting, but recommendations for sources (especially affordable ones or at least good quality so it lasts) would also be appreciated.

Personal: I was mistaken for being orthodox today. :) This is like more than the dozenth time in the past year and I’m really lucky that’s it’s never been in a negative way. It’s so weird but it also makes me happy. I’m not orthodox or BT, but I admire and aspire to the publicness that many orthodox folks have about their judaism (I guess kind of a fact of life if you’re wearing a kippa/tichel, etc.).
