Runway Looks
As fashion becomes more evidently cosmopolitan, the leading runways look to incorporate the elegance of Arabia via subtle detailing, such as the billowing sleeves of a silk chiffon top to the kaftan-like proportions of a sparkling Balmain dress. While there are plenty of styles that exude opulence, a little bit of simplicity makes for more of a standout moment. Look to off-shoulder details and delicate embroidery to exude femininity.

Silhouettes
The traditional approach to Ramadan dressing follows the languid beauty of the kaftan, and dramatic sleeves, pleats and cape details provide a rather opulent silhouette. Look to the flattering draping techniques of Valentino’s blush-toned jersey evening dresses or the dream like silk-chiffon of an Alberta Ferretti gown.

Accessories
As a rule of thumb, when an ensemble is simple a single standout accessory best complements it. This Ramadan, think: The more sparkle the better. Look to the crushed crystals and diamante detailing of Alexander McQueen’s evening clutch or the glistening gems of a beaded Dries Van Noten belt. Whether its statement earrings or a scintillating pair of stilettos, these pieces are sure to be sensational
