Ramadan is an exciting time to scoop up some modest fashion inspiration and witness the unveiling of new trends in the Middle East. Whether it’s influencers attending suhoor and iftar events or the local communities just out and about on the streets, everyone is elegantly draped in kaftans, long, flowy dresses, abaya gowns, and special Ramadan edits by both luxury and local designers.
