The Ultimate Eid-ul-Adha Fashion guide:

Eid-ul-Adha known as the ‘festival of sacrifice’ is here  once again bringing all the blessings and happiness of this special month. Nearly two million Muslims from all around the world gather in the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia on the 9th of August for an annual pilgrimage known as the Hajj. After performing Hajj, the Khutba is delivered from Mount Arafat in Mecca and then Eid is celebrated by following the sunnat-e-Ibrahimi- which is to slaughter the animals and distribute the meat among the needy and then to family and friends.

Hajj and slaughtering of animals is what Eid-ul-Adha is all about. For all the men out there this Eid is all about looking for the best animals and then the ‘qurbani’ on the day of Eid for which they all are usually  seen in white shalwar kurtas.

For women it is again a celebration and as soon as the moth of Dhu’l-Hijjah starts the preparations are on peak to pick up the most beautiful dresses. As the weather is quite hot in Pakistan so we think outfits that are heavily embellished won’t be making a trend instead subtle colours with light embroidery and mirror work will be a favorite this Eid. To make your hunt  for some elegant dresses easy we have picked up some of these stunning attires which will definitely make you stand out this Eid!!

Farida Hassan:

Ethereal and elegant attires by Farida Hassan with soft organza and lace details are a must have. Intricate floral embroidery with lace patch-work and sequin detailing on lose style kurtas and dupattas make the outfits stand out. Farida has given every outfit a unique touch with french knots, glitter and hand embellished pearl necklines.
