What To Wear During Ramadan
Ramadan is approaching and it’s time to think about the outfits for the holy month. In this blog post, you will find a detailed overview of what to wear during Ramadan as well as a few simple tips for your Ramadan outfits.
What is Ramadan ?
It is the holy month of the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset for approximately 30 days. This fast is one of the five pillars of Islam. The dates change each year, as they are determined by the sighting of a new moon.
Ramadan customs, cultures, and cuisines vary, and there is no single “Muslim” festive dress code. These can be kaftans, embroidered tunics or long dresses. But what is common across cultures, whether you are a practicing Muslim or not, is that Ramadan requires you to wear your modest clothing.
what to wear during Ramadan
Many people wonder what dress code to adopt during Ramadan. Many young women take advantage of this holy month to wear modest or traditional outfits. We will detail for you which clothes are best suited for Ramadan, everything will depend mainly on the occasions that you will encounter during Ramadan.
–Ramadan everyday at home clothing:
In one’s clothing, during the blessed month of Ramadan, it is important to reveal oneself in a sacred atmosphere. Mark your spirit but also that of your family, your children, your husband. The man can wear a casual qamis, the practicing woman can wear an oriental abaya (why not with beautiful embroidery), a gandoura for the day or the festive evening dinner.
The abaya, the house dress, a comfortable and elegant outfit
The abaya is a modest garment with comfortable cuts which, depending on its style, can be very elegant. Today, abayas are embellished with sublime trimmings or accessorized with jewelry designed from the design stage which are worn on major occasions and religious festivals. Open abayas or kimono abayas are abaya models that are worn every day. The versatile model that can be combined with the kimono abaya or worn alone is the closed abaya with a belt at the waist.
The traditional djellaba
Originally a garment representative of high personalities, the djellaba has always been considered a noble and majestic garment by Muslims. Before becoming a popular traditional outfit, djellabas were the outfit of Muslims and were an integral part of their culture and religion.
Do not hesitate to wear the djellaba during family occasions such as Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, during a Muslim wedding or a henna ceremony, a baptism or a circumcision. Men invited to a Muslim wedding also choose clothes and a djellaba, women enjoy wearing an embroidered djellaba dress during the ceremonies. Indeed, the feminine style of the djellaba is perhaps the one that presents the most stylistic variations, colors, patterns and elegant cuts.
When you receive guests at your home during Ramadan, you will need to choose an outfit that is elegant but still comfortable. If you are invited for dinner, consider a formal outfit to honor your presence. Choose an elegant abaya with a beautiful flowing fabric.
The prayer outfit
Never without your abaya and your hijab. To save time and for their practical side, consider the abaya dress and the integrated hijab for a practical prayer outfit. Mothers and daughters will be able to wear an identical total look. For prayer at the Tarawih mosque, the jilbab will be ideal for you to go to your place of worship. Opaque, perfectly covering but made of light fabric, this type of clothing from Muslim tradition will be perfect for long moments of prayer without being too hot.
Don’t hesitate to add accessories to your home outfit during the holy month, such as jewelry, necklaces and rings to add chic. Very trendy, wear a light and nude colored hijab if you choose a black abaya house dress. A great way to be modern and represent your religious values.
–Ramadan Officewear:
Many women dress in kaftans, abayas, or djellabas during Ramadan and it is indeed the simple and practical solution. But it’s not always easy to wear a traditional outfit, especially when you’re working.
The watchwords are: simplicity and modesty. Dress for the holy month should neither be provocative nor flashy. You can wear a normal office outfit during Ramadan while avoiding too much going on. No clothes that are too tight either.
So you can choose light outfits while still covering yourself sufficiently. Avoid low-cut or sleeveless tops. Mini-skirts should also be avoided just as much as leggings. On the other hand, dresses and long skirts, combined with a small jacket or blouse, make the perfect outfit for Ramadan and you will be comfortable during the work day.
Ramadan must-have pieces
Palazzo pants, the must-have item of the season, are also a good choice. They are comfortable and pretty and you can wear them with a white shirt or any top that matches the pants, or even a blazer. There are also gaucho pants which are perfect for the season and are a nice alternative between pants and a skirt.
We also see a lot of pretty tunics in the new collections and you can wear them with jeans or pants.
Kimonos and cardigans are very practical and can be worn even over a tank top or sleeveless top. They go just as well with pants, a dress as a skirt. Otherwise, a denim jacket is always very trendy and goes perfectly with almost all your outfits.
And finally, We wish all the Muslim the best of luck during this holy month!
