Ramanda- Friendly outfit guide (Egypt Edition)
Soft life. Cultural respect. Black woman elegance.
THE GOLDEN RULE
Cover shoulders, chest, and knees.
Loose > tight.
Breathable > heavy.
Flowy > restrictive.
Think: effortless, elevated, unbothered.
DAYTIME OUTFITS (SIGHTSEEING & TOURS)
Go-To Silhouettes
Maxi dresses (linen or cotton)
Midi skirts with loose blouses
Wide-leg pants + tunic
Lightweight jumpsuits with sleeves
Kaftans (elite choice, honestly)
Tops That Work
Short-sleeve tees (not tight)
Button-downs (linen = chef’s kiss)
Kimono or duster layers
Elbow-length sleeves preferred
Bottoms
Linen trousers, I personally like these from Amazon
Palazzo pants
Midi/maxi skirts
🚫 Skip: leggings as pants, biker shorts, short skirts.
COLOR PALETTE (FOR HEAT + PHOTOS)
White, cream, beige
Olive, camel, rust
Soft browns, black
Muted earth tones
Not only are they respectful, they also photograph beautifully against temples and the desert.
SCARVES: YOUR SECRET WEAPON
Always keep one in your bag.
Uses:
Cover shoulders/head when needed
Sun protection
Outfit elevation
Hair protection (edges matter)
Silk or lightweight cotton only—nothing heavy.
EVENING OUTFITS (IFTAR, DINNERS, NIGHT MARKETS)
Once the sun sets, the vibe loosens—but still classy.
Evening Approved
Flowy maxi dress with shape
Wrap dress (secure & not low-cut)
Wide-leg pants + elevated top
Statement jewelry to dress it up
You can show a little more style at night—just keep it tasteful.
MOSQUES & RELIGIOUS SITES
Non-negotiables:
Long sleeves
Long pants or skirt
Covered hair (scarf)
Closed-toe shoes preferred
Most mosques won’t let you in otherwise.
SHOES THAT MAKE SENSE
Cushioned walking sandals
Sneakers for tours
I personally bought the Adidas Illnfinity Mules
I was torn between the Adilette Clog 2.0 but I have Crocs in the same color.
Flats or low wedges for evenings
🚫 No heels during the day. Egypt is not the place.
POOL / RESORT AREAS
Swimsuits are fine inside hotels
Always wear a cover-up when leaving the pool area
No walking the streets in swimwear
WHAT TO AVOID (DAYTIME)
Crop tops
Short shorts
Deep cleavage
Sheer fabrics
Tight bodycon dresses
Not the time, not the place.
OUTFIT FORMULAS (STEAL THESE)
Linen maxi + scarf + sandals
Wide-leg pants + tucked tee + kimono
Midi skirt + loose blouse + statement earrings
Kaftan + sunglasses + crossbody bag
Effortless every time.
FINAL WORD
Ramadan style in Egypt is about presence, not performance.
When you dress with respect, doors open, smiles come easier, and the experience gets richer.
You’ll still look good—just rooted, intentional, and glowing. 🖤✨
