Ramadan 2021 is Different!

It’s that special time of the year again, it’s Ramadan. Ramadan is a holy month that is filled with blessings and mercy for all Muslims. It is the month of fasting from sunrise till sunset, this month is awaited by everyone all around the world. 

With the arrival of Ramadan month we decorate our houses with different Ramadan decoration themes by using eastern elements and elegant Islamic designs to fill our houses with Ramadan vibes and as a way of welcoming Ramadan, decorating for Ramadan has become a tradition in every house. We can use different things in decorating like lightnings to bring a joyful atmosphere, lanterns, crescent moons which are Ramadan’s sign, stars, and some kinds of ornamental papers.

Families gather together each evening when the sun sets to break their fast together in the Iftar meal that consists of varieties of Ramadan traditional food like; the refreshing juices like Jallab, Amar al-Din and Tamarind, also the Turkish Ramadan Flat Bread and for dessert Qatayef, and they often stay up to the early hours of the morning enjoying time with family and friends till Suhoor meal,  even though Ramadan will be a bit different this year because of Corona pandemic,  we will miss sharing this holy month with friends and the whole family gathered around Iftar but we have faith that God will soon reunite us.

Ramadan is also a time when fashion trends change overall, every year we see different variations of comfortable, Long, Light weight, airy pieces that keep the body cool during fasting, also Ramadan clothes follow the Islamic concept of modesty whether for Hijabi or non-Hijabi women.

Many women feel excited about the fresh clothing opportunities that come but also many other women get confused what to wear in this month, but don’t worry Khood is here to help. The Ramadan’s collection for year 2021 has a lot of options that suits everyone, like long and short Cardigans, Abayas with and without buttons, and long dresses. Not only for you, we also made Ramadan outfits for your daughter just like your outfits to match together.

Dress

 

There is a lot of colorful options and white options of course because nothing says cooling down more than the color white specially in this hot weather, White is perhaps the most seen shade in Ramadan.

After the lock down and closing all the clothing stores last year, consumers started buying more online and they have become more comfortable and got used purchasing online because it is easier and safer. Start ordering your Ramadan outfits from Khood and enjoy wearing unique items.

It’s a day to join our voices with people around the world and shout out our messages, to celebrate the achievements of women whether social, political, economic or cultural, also the day that we spotlight on women’s rights and gender equality. we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day. We can all choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements. Show your support and your solidarity.

The global theme for International Women’s Day in 2021 is ‘Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID-19 World’. As countries are starting to recover from the pandemic we should use this opportunity to have a role in a lot of positions. Women take roles in various fields, in politics, medicine, trading, fashion and others. 

In the fashion’s field plenty of fashion and beauty brands are marking the international women day occasion with collections and one-off pieces not only to celebrate , but also to support charities with the aim of improving the lives of women all around the world. Some of these brands are:
