What Are Modest Arm Sleeves?
Modest arm sleeves are slip-on jersey oversleeves designed for Islamic modest fashion. They extend coverage when a top, dress, or abaya leaves the arms exposed or when sleeves are sheer or too wide. Boutiques stock them as a high-turn, low-ticket accessory next to undercaps, bonnets, and hijabs — an easy add-on that raises average order value.
In international markets they are searched as modest arm sleeves, hijab arm covers, arm cover sleeves, manchettes (French), and Armstulpen (German). One size stretch fit works for most arms; sold as a matching pair.

How to Wear Modest Arm Sleeves
Slip each sleeve on like a long glove so the knit covers from the wrist up past the elbow toward the upper arm. Wear under short or three-quarter sleeves, under sheer fabrics, or inside wide abaya sleeves for a clean, continuous modest silhouette. Match darker chart colours (e.g. 1, 4, 9, 10) to dark outfits and lighter numbers (e.g. 2, 5, 11) under light layers — use the colour chart on this page to pick quantities by number.
