RIYADH: While there is a focus on decorating homes with lanterns and red tablecloths in Ramadan, many are also keeping an eye on the latest fashion trends.

Every year, women head to the stores in search of embroidered and colorful Ramadan jalabiyas, which is the traditional gown.

Whether in Madinah, Jeddah, Riyadh or elsewhere, the wearing of a jalabiya is an absolute necessity at iftar.

At Riyadh Park Mall, the high-end Shalky has glamorous dresses and jalabiyas on display.

The store has a range of sparkling and embroidered offerings in velvet and silk, with long sleeves, draped shoulders and short-sleeve layered designs.
