Picking the right outfit for special occasions, like Eid, can be a daunting task — especially under current circumstances, when going to the mall poses actual life risks, and we must resort to our beloved online stores. But worry not, readers! This season, Avenue T brings to the spotlight four stunning local brands to choose from, so you’re dressed to impress this Eid, too.
