Ramadan-appropriate fashion on the high street

Along with fasting, prayer and charity, Ramadan brings with it a time for gatherings: friends and family coming together for iftar and suhoor, sharing stories over meals. But this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t pay attention to your wardrobe, provided the outfit is appropriate for the Holy Month. We’ve scoured some of the best high street stores in Dubai to find out what they’ve created for Ramadan and Eid this year.

LE66

Promising to give any Ramadan wardrobe a stylish lift is LE66, the Parisian concept store located in City Walk. Its Ramadan capsule focuses on kaftans, which are the perfect balance of chic and modest. LE66 offers a curated selection of kaftans from an array of regional brands such as AKS, NAFS Design, Shugar, BN Designs, Noor the Label, Essa Walla, and Blackout.

H&M

H&M’s Special Occasions collection features beautiful long kaftans, flowy dresses, knee-length gowns, and much more. Fashionistas can make their own fashion statement by mixing and matching key pieces, resulting in a classic and chic look. Lace and sequins are the most prominent, as they add that glamour to your special day with the family.

ESPOSA

Combining Ramadan and summer, the Esposa Privé collection is offering a fresh look with flowery motifs and a princess gown cut. The colour palette ranges from pastels to brights, and the fabrics are soft and flowy. Pick your favourite now!

BLOOMINGDALE’S

The Dubai Mall department store’s Ramadan pop-up features a coveted selection of modest fashion from regional designers. Labels available in store include Bouguessa, known for its minimalistic elements coupled with clean silhouettes; Chador, as it gives the staple kaftan a contemporary elegance; and Ayesha Depala’s softly structured designs in cream, mink, and dusky fawn. Complete your look with your favourite accessories.

SELMA BENOMAR

The Moroccan label offers luxurious kaftans this Ramadan based on the designer’s unique perception of flowers and her inspirations arising from this colour palette. Each piece tells a story and is intricately woven into the design of the kaftan. Selma finds her inspiration in nature, and this shines through in her work.

MINT VELVET

To show that you can dress modest without compromising on style, Mint Velvet invited fashion influencers to showcase their fashion choices for the Holy Month. Personal shopper, author and stylist Kelly Lundberg; Emirati makeup artist Asma Lootah; and TV show host and digital influencer Faten Zeineddine demonstrate how you can create the perfect look for Ramadan and Eid with the new collection at the store.

AAVVA

Founded by Ahmad Ammar and Vincenzo Visciglia, AAVVA brings architectural insights into fashion, and their new Ramadan Collection, available at Galeries Lafayette, offers elegant and beautiful pieces. The 12 looks have an earthy and neutral colour tone and light fabrics to suit the summer. A lot of elements, like the “balloon sleeve”, are on trend and give you a feminine feel.
