Traditional is the way

During Ramadan get-togethers, it is best to opt for traditional attires. Whether it be a kurti or a shalwar kameez, embrace a part of your heritage and proudly show your collection of ethnic clothes. Shalwar kameez sets are perfect to wear, particularly while attending gatherings. They are not only lightweight but also available in a variety of designs, patterns, lace choices, and upper-body sequin work, which means that you have more possibilities to choose from.

Beat the heat

This year, Ramadan coincides with hot and humid weather. Hence, you should go for materials that are light, airy, and loose so that they do not burden you. Aim for billowing full sleeves, which are chic and graceful. While fasting, you should not have to worry about sweating in a tight and uncomfortable outfit. Nonetheless, if you think it could be too plain for a gathering, you can add some glamour by wearing a stunning and visually attractive orna. This will give your outfit some added flair.
