The Ramadan Edit

While Ramadan is considered a much slower month for most, a time of reflection, friends and family gatherings, a slower, more subdued time in our calendars, here at The Modern East it is also considered one of our favorite fashion months. While the women of the Middle-East are known for their impeccable style, attention to detail ad effortless elegance, Ramadan is a time that really brings this out. From abaya’s to accessories, we have put together our very own Ramadan edit, highlighting some of our favorite pieces for the holy month.

Abaya Edit – Shatha Issa

Founded in 2016 by Shatha Essa, womenswear label SHATHA ESSA fuses timeless styles with intricate embroidery, evoking a vision of classical elegance. Sophisticated and feminine yet modern and effortless, the brand seamlessly blends luxurious fabrics, impeccable tailoring and meticulous attention to detail. Known for her focus on fine finishing’s and embroidery techniques, she is reinventing classics with every piece created. If you are looking for something a bit more ornate this Ramadan, Shatha’s designs will have you in owe.

Shoe Edit with Level Shoe District

With the memo for this season being less is more when it comes footwear, we have chosen two of our favorite styles from Level Shoe District that are perfectly in-line with Ramadan. Simple yet elegant, the Harley sandals by Rejina Pyo are the perfect strappy, slip on – not to mention have been a complete sensation this season on the gram! By Far, a brand you might already be familiar with has topped most people’s must-have a list with their vintage aesthetic, easy to wear styles such as the Libra January, Kosara and Virgo. Another style that is the perfect option for days turned into evenings of Ramadan. This shoe can take you from running your daily errands to family gatherings and evening get together with friends.

Accessories

Still one of my favorites, I am opting for the Angelou tassel clutch by Cult Gaia. Offering an elegant ombre update to their classic-cool Angelou clutch from the Fall Winter 2018 collection, the delicately braided and tasseled body hangs from a gold-tone metallic handle, while the inner mesh lining will make sure your belongings are secure.

We have seen many variations of the tassel tag, telling us that this number is still trending!
