We’re welcoming in the first month of summer with a seasonal edition of the GRAZIA best dressed list.
From streetwear to beachwear and even some mallwear (it’s a Dubai thing), we bring you a glimpse at the upcoming trends and pieces that will be ruling the hot months ahead.
Featuring cowboy trends to cream abayas, be the first to embrace the new fashion changes with this it-girl-approved round-up.
Khadija
Pioneered by media and high fashion brands, the return of Western influences has been raging on for some time now. Adding a sense of elevation and comfort to it, Khadija indulges in the rustic trends with the cowboy tuxedo look. Featuring a warm medium wash, both denim pieces have a slightly baggy fit giving the look a laidback effortless feel. On foot, she adds trendy-girl-approved platform Uggs to the mix, solidifying the fit into ultra-easy territory.
MaHra
Bringing the summer hues in abaya form, this faceless creator wears a subdued butter-yellow piece from the edgy and sleek brand, TheEsthetics. Pairing it with some cream pants and raffia sandals, Mahra adds all the textures and colours of a balanced summer look to this outfit pic. With some white rounded sunnies and a tweed pink Chanel handbag, she leaves us with a delicate yet wearable outfit.
Marwa Alhashmi
Sweaters in June? Fashion doesn’t always have to be functional, sometimes it can just be a statement. And Marwa’s bright pink shearling bomber – an IYKYK moment for mall-goers in the UAE. Tying in the rosy hue with her laces, she adds a buckle belt bag to her fussy and fun streetwear look.
Zeyaanah
We have seen streetwear be edgy and artsy many a times, but Zeyaanah approaches it in an unexplored raw lens. Unapologetic and unconventional, we say a range of patterns, vibes and disciplines all styled into one ‘fit. With three different plaid styles on top, from her black button down to her red shoulder bag and even her green corset, a more sturdy black bottom half also ensues. Adding pointed-toe boots under the charcoal skirt, an edgy western edge trickles into this best dressed look.
Fatiima Abdelaziz
While the widely adorned outerwear gets a reputation for trapping the summer heat, Fatiima’s flowy white abaya dispels that misconception seamlessly. Bringing a colourful array through her beaded Staud shoulder bag, the modest creator wears some simple jeans and Air Forces to complete the simple seasonal fit.
Shirin Sobati
Like clockwork, every summer linen returns to the forefront of everyone’s summer looks and this year seems to be no different. Wearing a two-piece set, Shirin’s halter neck top and wrap-around skirt are the perfect put-together yet relaxed staples for the poolside season.
Shama
And the cream abaya returns, this time in a regal silk material. Contrasting with the light hues of her outerwear Shama poses in a sturdy Bottega clutch and a full black ensemble beneath the light piece. According to this best dressed list, the fashion-forward modest creators are cementing the light abayas’ front-facing place in summer 2024 outfits.
MELISSA A. R
Another day, another oversized blazer – will the cool girl staple ever go out of style? Definitely not. Featuring the piece in a sandy plaid colourway, Melissa’s outfit balances boyish elements with feminine sophisticated touches. Accessorising with maroon sambas, a mini black crossbody and some statement tortoise eyewear, this everyday outfit has some hidden styling secrets shining through it
Hamda
Already on the beach, Hamda marks her seaside sunsets with a floor-length white evening dress and a statement purse. With a high neck, the 3D floral trends seem to see another day, an assortment of roses sit below her chin. Bringing muted vibrancy through Chanel, her sequenced floral bag still remains muted wit its black and white hues.
Laila Abdallah
Fashion can exceed far past a statement of style and flair. Instead, a single article of clothing can be a testament to the lineage, stories and values of a longstanding community. A symbol of resistance, Laila wears the keffiyeh on her nightly stroll, with a full black sleek ensemble to canvas it.
