Holy month for all Muslims, the month of Ramadan, one of the main in the lunar calendar of the Hijra, falls on August this year. The month of fasting and piety calls believers to earnest prayers, as well as to abstinence in food and drink during daylight hours. This month, it is customary to pay more attention to the poor and disadvantaged, to help the weak and to abide by the strict rules attributed to the Qur'an.
In everyday clothing in eastern countries and, in particular, in the Arabian region, white (for men) and black (for women) colors in outerwear predominate. However, in Ramadan, clothes become some kind of special festive, elegant, changing the quality of fabrics and finishes. Colorful kaftans and jalabiyas (wide women's dresses with long flared sleeves), finely embroidered abayas (upper women's clothing) and sheyls (women's head scarves, in other Eastern countries referred to as hijabs), intricate jewelry and accessories of handbags, belts, shoes are highly esteemed.
Bag running
Without implying anything and, probably, completely not thinking about the preferences of oriental fashionistas, who should not emphasize a figure in their clothing, Western designers, as one, offer dresses and skirts this summer that look more like bags - the same wide, long and almost formless. But because of this, for some reason, they are so touching and lovely that I want to urgently run to the store and buy something for myself - from a "burlap-canvas". And as in childhood, to fight with rivals - who quickly jumps in a bag to the finish line!
The color scheme of most of these creations is also as close as possible to natural shades - here there is unbleached white, and light beige or yellow, slightly gray or olive. Fabrics - to match - coarse and ever-wrinkling linen, dense cotton, able to at least somehow keep a baggy shape, or variations on the theme of "wet" silk.
In addition to this, a bag-basket or a tote bag, woven sandals on a “rope” platform, a neck scarf of their thin cotton in a cheerful flower or hat can be a great addition to this season.
Word of mouth
Already managed, reported! Of course, and this summer without the right sundress - nowhere. Neither in the village, nor in the city! It can be anything - long to the floor, short, narrow or wide. The main thing is that it just has to be! In the wardrobe of every decent fashionista.
For slender natures, we recommend large floral prints, bright wide stripes (you can even horizontal) and "animal" colors. Sundresses with a smaller flower or polka dots, complemented by large multi-colored accessories - beads, bracelets, hair clips, hats, and so on, are perfect for girls with more solid dimensions.
The best shoes for sundress are open sandals. Any, but it is better if the sundress is long, on a flat sole, and if it’s mini, then on a tall wedge. Everything else framing the summer look is your fantasy. Do not interrupt her flight! In cool weather, you can put on a denim jacket over your shoulders, and for an evening outing you can choose a plain ballerina made of thin knitwear. So, where does the radio come from, you ask? And really, absolutely nothing to do with it! The key word here is word of mouth! And the same word is the key to your new summer wardrobe.
Barefoot childhood 
Everything that we dress up as adults comes to us from childhood. So, it’s worth starting to monitor fashion already from the cradle so as not to turn into a “gray mouse” over time. Modern designers offer kids such fashionable new things that their moms and dads would envy. Here are dresses of all colors and styles with the most beautiful drawings and ornaments, here are skirts (mind you, length wounds - from mini to maxi!), Here are blouses with frill and lace collars, and classic cardigans, and elegant shoes, sandals and flip flops . Clutch bags and a variety of hats, panamas and bows, scarves and shawls, sunglasses are attached to them. And, of course, beads! All sorts! And more. More than mom.
Young cavaliers are not far behind the young ladies. Elegant trousers and suits made of cotton and linen, ties, shorts and Bermudas, jackets and jeans. At the peak of summer children's and teenage fashion - bright and comfortable knitwear, comfortable shoes and sandals. In summer, of course, you can do without shoes. After all, it’s so nice to go over the grass or the sand of the sea ...
Synchronized swimming
Mini bikini 66! No, not that ... Classic of the 80s! Perhaps not quite either ... Closed swimsuits with skirts of the early 1920s! And you there too? All this is "not that" separately, but together - this is exactly the very trendy swimwear of the summer season of 2011! Fusion of everything that designers have ever created for this very attractive element of a women's summer wardrobe is in fashion today.
Choosing a fashionable swimsuit is easy! I need one that suits you! And that’s it! Color, print, shape, level of openness or closeness depend only on your own preferences and, perhaps, the budget. Want a bathing suit in rhinestones? You are welcome! Would you like to finish with wooden beads, metal rivets, and maybe further gold embroidery. Not a problem either.
The only “but”, the swimsuit today is not an independent unit, it “works” synchronously in the ensemble of things for access to the beach, which includes the female, a wide blouse or a pair of pareos, beach slippers, slates, sunglasses, accessories - beads , bracelets, earrings, a hat or a scarf, and, of course, sun protection. Enjoy your holiday by the sea! And synchronized swimming with the one who will support your exit.
Wider step!
Men are lucky. Finally, the designers condescended to businessmen, allowing them to relax a little at least in the summer. Now even in the office you can safely go not in a strict business suit, but in its lightweight cotton or linen version. Moreover, the color scheme is your choice, dear men. The favorite of the summer season is considered to be blue and all its shades, and as you know, white and beige, light yellow and turquoise, gray, purple and even orange are perfect for blue (do not panic, in accessories).
Change your usual black-brown look for a light and fresh summer look. Even if you choose one shade, shoes, waist belts, bags and other accessories will help you diversify it. Luxurious sunglasses or a scarf neck scarf can be a great accent in the summer look (leave your tie in the closet until autumn).
If you go on vacation, pay special attention to such indispensable things on vacation, like tennis shoes (not necessarily white, yellow, red, blue, green or orange), shorts or Bermudas, a light club jacket, hat or cap. Have a good summer mood and ... a wider step! Fortunately, light and loose pants allow you to do this.
