As we bid farewell to the month of Ramadan, Muslims all around the world are preparing for a new celebration: Eid al-Fitr. The Islamic holiday, which spans three days, marks the end of the most sacred month on the Islamic calendar and is a highly anticipated day for Muslims.
This weekend, people will be out after sunrise to sight the moon and stores will be brimming with last-minute Eid shoppers. On the day, Muslims are expected to dress in their best clothes, so it’s safe to say, the Met Gala won’t be the only major fashion event taking place next week.
Of course, it’s important to note that Eid isn’t just about the glitz and glamour. On the day, Muslims donate to those less fortunate, visit loved ones and exchange gifts. It’s a beautiful occasion filled with warmth, so if you have a Muslim friend, neighbour or colleague, don’t be afraid to say “Eid Mubarak!”
Everyone shows up on Eid. Men line up at their local barber to get a fresh fade and women are spotted getting facials and beauty treatments from head-to-toe. After a month of discipline and practising restraint, the auspicious day acts as a reward for those who observed the month of Ramadan.
With only a few days left to go, most people likely have their outfits sorted, but if you aren’t one of them, then try not to stress, because we’ve compiled the best modest outfits to buy if you’ve left things to the very last minute.
All of these outfits can either be purchased in-store or online with the option of next-day or same-day delivery.
