With the Holy Month of Ramadan beginning on June 6, it’s time to alter our wardrobes.
Swapping spaghetti straps with shoulder cover ups and lengthening the hem lines, its all about demure fashion, and no, that doesn’t mean boring.
According to Thomson Reuters, Muslim shoppers spent US$266 billion on clothing and footwear in 2013 and, according to forutune.com, they are expected to spend US$484 billion by 2019. With this in mind, designers have gradually been creating collections with their Muslim fashionista followers in mind. As such Ramadan collections have never been so stylish.
From high street to designer finds, here is our round up of the best 2016 Ramadan collections that you will want to wear all-year round.
