There is no rush to buy new clothes for Eid-ul-Azha, unlike Eid-ul-Fitr. However, Eid-ul-Azha is more focused on buying animals, performing Qurbani, and sharing the meat. People still reserve some time for travelling or entertaining guests, particularly towards the end of the day. Boys often offer Eid prayers in Punjabi, and women also desire new clothes to look their best on the festival day. For children, the excitement of Eid is incomplete without new clothes.
Buy as needed:
Since most people already bought clothes for Eid-ul-Fitr, many may not need new clothes now. It’s important to prioritise needs first. There might be some new clothes left over from Eid-ul-Fitr. You can continue from there to Eid-ul-Azha. If you still want to buy new clothes for the festival, you can visit your favourite fashion house. They offer clothes that meet the needs of the whole family.
May the comfort be:
Since Eid falls during the summer, it’s important to pay attention to the type of clothing you buy. Choose the most comfortable garments for this Eid, because even though it’s the rainy season, the heat is still quite high. During this time, it’s best to opt for cotton clothes for maximum comfort, despite the fabric being less shiny. You can also consider linen or khadi cloth for comfort. If you want to add a little splendour to the festive mood, you can choose muslin. However, comfort should be your priority. No matter how beautiful an outfit looks, if you don’t feel comfortable in it, you won’t be able to wear it for long.
Shopping for everyone:
When you buy new Eid clothes for children, it can diminish the excitement of the holiday. So, it’s important to prioritise the budget for the child. For boys, you can consider purchasing Punjabi clothing, a T-shirt, a turban, and other items. Girls have more options, with garments available in various styles. You can choose from dresses, gowns, kameez, fatwas, and more. If older family members live in the household, consider buying them a saree, a Punjabi, or something similar. This will surely bring a smile to their faces. Don’t forget to treat yourself while buying for others. If you have the means, take the time to get something nice for yourself, like a dress, if you have the means to do so. Prioritise your own happiness and well-being, as your mood will improve.
It’s also a good idea to give gifts to friends and relatives to strengthen relationships. Giving someone their favourite clothes as a gift is a great way to show affection and celebrate Eid. Let’s use Eid as an opportunity to express love for our loved ones. On the occasions of Eid-ul-Fitr or Eid-ul-Azha, let’s come together and spread love and happiness on Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha. Regardless of our individual capabilities, let’s fill our surroundings with abundant love. Let’s spread the joy of Eid and the message of unity and equality from one heart to another.
