The holy month of Ramadan is an important period in the life of a Muslim. A period of spirituality, charity, sharing, but also festivities! This is the time to meet up with friends and family to share a meal at the time of iftar, suhoor and celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the end of the month.
But that's not all... Ramadan brings with it a different atmosphere, also noticeable in the way of dressing. And no need to observe the fast to perceive that fashion, in this month, is special. We must be respectful of the local culture and dress modestly, but with style, it's a must! And if you think modesty in fashion is boring, think again!
But the question that worries the most every year is undoubtedly: how to dress modestly when it's almost 40 degrees outside, and 20 degrees inside... while being chic and stylish to attend an iftar in a hotel, at friends' or with family ? Don't panic, there are options available to us...
Here is a small overview of the styles we selected from Niswa Fashion collections, which will take you from home to the iftar with class and without the fuss!
