This summer, the region’s fashion trendsetters are embodying ultra-girly looks and pieces with some muted grounded basics.

Accessories-wise we’re seeing high energy bracelets, mesh ballet flats and cream handbags. From raffia to knitwear and even some free-flowing silk, here is a peek at the summer fashion mindset for 2024.

Bringing you an early glimpse at next season’s trends and attitudes, this edition of the GRAZIA best dressed list focuses on summer travels.

Bringing another summer dress on our radar, Anaf chooses to sort out this season’s wardrobe at one of the region’s biggest luxury retailers Bloomingdale’s. Featuring its signature wavy cut, this PH5 sleeveless dress comes with a high neck and a thigh-high slit. In a beige hue, with a peachy undertone, her matching Bottega Veneta wedges are contrasted by her sky-blue Hermès Constance crossbody.

Just because you’re abroad, doesn’t mean your style and essence have to completely change. Bringing a little bit of her identity on her travels, Kuwaiti stylist Styled By HK adds a regal silk abaya to her all-Abadia outfit. Wearing wide-leg jeans and a tucked-in white t-shirt the metallic rounded belt pulls in the silver hues of her outerwear.

Riding the wave for as long as it can, the ‘pop of red’ trend makes it to yet another best dressed round-up, this time following Dima Al Sheikhly into her European travels. Wearing all Max Mara, her earthy-toned outfit from the faded brown and creme white shades is interrupted by her bright red mesh flats. Adding a circular handbag and chocolate brown button-up we are left with an effortless Italian-approved ensemble.

Beachside getups can include bikinis and throw-overs, but Hadba opts for a more feminine elevated take. Wearing pink ruffled linen on top, her wide-leg white jeans offer some grip around the hips. Adding playful oval glasses and Prada Cleo in white, her multi-coloured beaded bracelets give the whole outfit some girly frill and fun.

Canel Hevan

Creating summer looks with pieces you most likely already own is also very doable, as Canel shows in this Amsterdam streetwear ‘fit. Unbuttoning her waistcoat a little higher, she gives the traditionally sophisticated pieces some flirty  touches. While her white Miu Miu Wander reinstates the love from creamy hues this season.

Mona Hasbini

Offering texture and play, Mona’s maxi skirt leans into the knitwear trend as it flaunts its chunky pink textured material. Bikini strings peaking through, though she accessorises with dainty jewellery, her multilayered star necklace and ring-to-bracelet chains add drama to the look. Flaunting her YSL raffia clutch, this is the epitome of a beachy sweet statement.

And the Gentle Monster “Gentle Jelly” collection strikes again, as Rania Fawaz opts for the black slightly-upturned pair on her turkey travels. Adding a Prada raffia tote, a sheer bubbly blue tank top and an Isa Boulder pleated side-tie mini skirt, each piece elevates the funky summer outfit to a new tier of play. The Iraqi influencer dives into vibrant colour with a lively swing.
