How to dress for NYC Eid parties? Stylist Engie Hassan can help.

WNYC News | Apr 9, 2024

For some Muslim women in New York City, celebrating Eid al-Fitr can present a challenge: how do you find the right clothes that also align with your values? Some women turn to stylist Engie Hassan for help.

During Eid celebrations, which can last at least three days, it’s customary for some Muslim people to attend multiple events, ranging from casual family get-togethers to upscale parties – and to buy a new outfit for each gathering.

Some women say that with this social calendar comes pressure: to dress in a way that reflects their religious values and to simply look good, be it for themselves or for social media.
