As the diary fills with spectacular Iftar dinners laden with irresistible desserts, MOJEH.com brings you the key styles of the season that are just as sweet.

Light and Shade
Sweet treats at Taste of WAFI
Contrasts reflect light and shade and how better to embody both the somber meaning and the enchantment of Ramadan than with monochromatic style. Dinz melds the two perfectly with a full skirt and sweet bell sleeve top that makes a sophisticated statement with a playful edge. If subtlety in tonal contrasts is more your style, a softly draped dress with white lining by Stella McCartney personifies a refined air.
Bold Taste

Celebrate in full colour. Hues of fire engine red and hot pink take the pre-Fall collections away from prevalent neutrals and in a bolder direction that suits the pared-back silhouettes of the season. Delicate embroidery (Oscar De La Renta) and softly draped belts (Bedouin) add a little more definition at the waist, while contrasting accessories are an unexpected twist.
Ice White

It’s a fashion decree that black is always chic. Choose to subvert the norm in ice white at the next elegant Iftar. Sleek and modern styled with pulled back hair and smudged eyeshadow a la Safiyaa, go minimalist and leave the accessories at home. Elegance isn’t only defined in a gown – The Kayys manage the feat with exaggerated culottes and an open-sided tunic, tapping into the head-to-toe achromatic trend that is having a moment pre-Fall.
