Ramadan Capsule Wardrobe: Keep Cool & Modest

Ramadan for some reason in the UK, always tends to be scorching hot, it can be the day before Ramadan and the weather will be absolutely perfect, not too hot not too cold, lovely and cool, the minute Ramadan rings in, it’s like the sun physically moves closer to us. Perhaps the test in itself for us here in the UK is to endure hot long Ramadan days consecutively.  Amidst this sudden burst of temperature, we become completely flustered when busy with life, and we have no choice but to fall into the busy Ramadan routine whether we are ready or not!  The first night of Tarawih comes in super quick, amidst the rush, we forget to build the right Ramadan capsule wardrobe designed for ease, comfort, heat repellant, and modest. Look no further, we have compiled a nice capsule wardrobe for you to order for this weekend.

Disclaimer! We recommend you wear breathable fabrics such as linens, rayon, denim and cotton. Please bare in mind these are suggestions to provide variety, so buying no more than two or 3 of each item, will ensure you have something to wear whilst the other items are being cleaned or dried. Ramadan is all about teaching and training our nafs, to stop overindulging in things we do not need. Simplicity is a key feature of a Ramadan capsule wardrobe. Less is quite literally more. With wearing less, there is not too much to clean, therefore preventing an excessive use of water. Not wasting money that could be given to the poor, as our wealth never decreases by giving charity. Let us use this opportunity to curb our obsession with buying for want rather than need.
