The Best Modest Outfit Ideas for Iftars

From hosting iftars at home to heading out to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, Ramadan calls for something extra-special when it comes to your wardrobe. This year, capsule collections by Gucci, Valentino, Etro and more join modest-fashion favourites such as Taller Marmo, and there are myriad ways to elevate your wardrobe throughout Ramadan and beyond. Feathered hems, brightly coloured kaftans, a glamorous Amina Muaddi pump – or all the above! Our Personal Shoppers work with many clients who honour the Ramadan period. Here, they share their advice on what to wear for the Holy Month.

"Alaïa, Erdem and Etro’s collections are among our favourites for SS23. Elsewhere, Valentino has perfected the balance between modest fashion and eveningwear"

If you prefer or are curious to try separates instead, co-ords like those by Etro, La DoubleJ and Casablanca will feel put-together for special occasions, while offering an alternative to traditional modest silhouettes. Likewise, layering smarter pieces such as blazers can elevate pyjama-style pairings by Oséree and Sleeper – chic for late-night gatherings.
