Question

Is it allowed for a Muslim young girl to wear a top and pants that is completely modest and baggy with full coverage and it looks feminine?

Answer

A good practising Muslim woman's clothes has three prominent features:

1. Long and flowing.
2. Covers the entire body and is loose.
3. It is not transparent whether under a light or not.

Leave out kuffaar culture, their clothing, their fashion and behaviour so that Allah Ta`ala will join you on the Day of Qiyaamah with His righteous and favoured servants.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
