In recent years, there has been a remarkable shift in fashion trends towards more inclusive and diverse styles, particularly when it comes to comfortable wear. This Eid, the trend continues to soar with a noticeable inclination towards loose-fitting comfort wear, such as kaftans, maxi dresses, and attires inspired by the abaya.

The kaftan and abaya-inspired attires, traditionally worn in Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian cultures, have been reimagined and embraced not only globally, but also by the fashionistas of our country for their elegance, comfort, and versatility.

These garments, known for their loose fit, not only offer a comfortable clothing option, but also serve as a canvas for artistic expression through intricate designs, patterns, and fabrics. Speaking of the appeal of these loose-fitting attires, Shafayet Hossain Khan, owner and designer of KhanSaab Studio, states, “At the heart of this loose-fitting wear is the use of Chinese silk and aesthetic printed crepe georgette, materials chosen for their unique qualities that show both elegance and modernity and attract the fashion-forward women for its comfort.”
