Woolworths serves up smart and sophisticated looks for the Eid festivities.

To save you the hassle of trying to decide which blazer goes with what, I’ve collaborated with Woolworths and put together a fool-proof guide on what to wear this Eid al Fitr.

The concept of Eid attire has no official style protocols. To look stylish on any special occasion, you must understand that it’s more than just wearing a dress shirt. If you want to look suave? Think blazers with pleated chino’s, two-piece suits (with or without the tie), pocket squares and lapel pins. An Eid dress code can entail a set of sartorial principles whether you go for a more traditional or a modern approach. 

The campaign was shot at the majestic movie set, nestled in Cape Town.

The navy blazer is so iconic. It’s one of the most interchangeable pieces you can invest in. This unstructured navy blazer and beige pleated chino combo are absolute wardrobe heroes if you're planning a sophisticated look that matches up to timeless sartorial standards. I’ve polished this up with the classic tan turtleneck and brown leather loafer from Woolworths.

Olive is an autumn favourite and there's something about this blazer that will make you feel like a well-dressed man. Style the olive blazer with an all-black combination if you want to keep your look modern for Eid. Or stay on the similar hue spectrum with a green polo and burgundy pants – the low-key cable texture feels effortlessly stylish. In the footwear department, go for something on the relaxed with leather sneakers.

A camel overcoat feels and looks so classy. The neutral shade makes any outfit and skin tone look good. I have introduced a playful vibe to my ensemble by adding a waistcoat to my look. Then, dialled down the suaveness with low profile sneakers – it  just adds a sense of stylish nonchalanceness on this auspicious occasion..

Let burgundy reign! Donning a suit in this unexpected hue instead of traditional navy or grey shows you’re like taking style risks. You want a suit that’s classic and practical too, and this suit strikes that balance. This suit colour choice is a smart way to breathe a modern touch into your closet too, thanks to Woolworths.

Looking seriously stylish doesn't require much effort. Just consider this pairing: a grey suit and white t-shirt form Woolworths. This combo is worth being on your list of essential menswear pieces for Eid al Fitr. Then bring it to life with tan knitwear and a navy coat is a powerful way to elevate your look if it gets chillier. If you want, you can instantly dress down your outfit with a pair of white sneakers.
