Iftar Party Outfit Guide — What to Wear to Ramadan Gatherings in Dhaka
Hotel iftars, family iftars, friend iftars — the dress code shifts. Here's how to read the room.
Dhaka iftar season is a calendar of overlapping invites. The dress code shifts with the venue. Three quick reads.
Hotel iftar (Westin, Radisson, Sheraton)
Smart-casual. Tailored chinos, soft button-down, optional blazer. Panjabi is acceptable but the room skews Western-formal.
Family iftar at home
Cream or white cotton panjabi, soft pyjama, leather sandals. Comfortable, respectful, easy to sit on the floor in.
Friends iftar at a restaurant
Smart-casual streetwear works — clean tee, structured overshirt, dark jeans. The bar is lower, but don't show up in a gym fit.
