Salam!
We know that one thing that isn’t constant in our today’s world is fashion. It has gone full circle over the years, and it’s making another 360° but with a modern twist, and that’s where the little issue lies.
We know our hearts are what is most important to God, but how we present ourselves through fashion speaks volumes too.
Little wonder the saying “dress how you want to be addressed .”Fashion is bizarre these days, and people find it more difficult to find shops (online or offline) for decent and appropriate clothing.
