Muslim families are preparing to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the first day of Shawwal, after the month of Ramadan

Amber Kaz
American style blogger Amber Kaz explained to Buzzfeed what Ramadan and Eid meant to her, on a spiritual and a stylish level. "Ramadan is opportunity to look within yourself and find new ways to grow. So for me, Eid is a great way to sport new cuts and colors that I normally don't", Kaz explained.
"This year, I decided to rid myself completely of my usual black-on-black and let the structure of the pieces create a contemporary, Solange-inspired look. The top has dramatic flared sleeves and a modest fit, and the DIY cut-out bottoms maintain that same sense of flow."
