In 2023, Eid Ul-Fitr is likely to take place on April 21. Eid Ul-Fitr will mark the end of fasting and abstaining from things during Ramadan and will be the start of the celebrations. And, one of the best parts of Eid are the beautiful clothes.
Many people prefer wearing new clothes for Eid Ul-Fitr - when people celebrate together, give gifts and meet and greet each other.
However, with Islam being followed in several countries around the world - people of different nations would have their own special outfits. For instance, women from Middle Eastern and African nations might prefer ornate kaftans for their Eid outfits.
From kurta sets to shararas for women to sherwaanis and kurtas for men - the South Asian community is likely to choose from these for their Eid outfits. You can buy these in shops in Alum Rock, Sparkhill, Soho Road and even at the Bullring.
