As we head into the Holy Month, we welcome the season of Iftars and Ghabgas at which we take the chance to catch up with family and friends over the breaking of the daily fast. The season, with its many corporate events, also provides a valuable opportunity to touch base with clients and contacts.
Whether it’s a family or business occasion and whether you are, in fact, fasting or simply taking the opportunity to enjoy cultural traditions, the style for this important time is distinctly modest. But, that certainly doesn’t mean boring. For many, the idea of modest dressing calls to mind ladies with covered heads in black robes, but this is no longer the case.
From locally-based designers to some of the biggest names on the high street, fashion is becoming increasingly aware of, and catering to, the modest fashionista. We’ve pulled together some great offerings from both current and special capsule collections to help make sure your Ramadan wardrobe’s both appropriate and awesome.
H&M
H&M’s latest limited-edition collection features flowing kaftans in breezy fabrics and flowing prints. Perfect for the summer season and for Ramadan gatherings.
LEEM
Saudi-based brand Leem’s Spring Summer 19 collection features the likes of free-flowing kaftans, maxi skirts and dresses, the timeless trench, tailored power suits with fluid, ambiguous layers, all distinguished by their sleek structure and elegant lines. The house also has a Ramadan Capsule Collection.
