This weeks best dressed call on the revival of the 90s business casual and colour coded abayas.<\/p>\n

The region’s fashion forwards content creators and creatives, blend together the old and the new. From Gen Z approved street style to elegance exuding outwear. Each piece adds dimension and edge to even the most casual outfits.<\/p>\n

This is GRAZIA best dressed list, of fashionistas and curation know-it-alls. Let’s take some notes from the Instagram leaders.<\/p>\n

Alanoud Badr<\/h3>\n

What about oversized everything? Alanoud layers an oversized plaid trench coat over a loose fit white tee and low waisted medium wash denim from Loewe. Leaning on the casual oversized-fit on every article of clothing, the Emirati-Saudi fashion designer shows us how to elevate a casual fit while centring comfort and ease. Doing the laid-back style with elevated taste, she’s one of our faves for a reason<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Karen Wazen<\/h3>\n

A touch of edge on a business-forward outfit – is what we see on our best dressed cover girl<\/a>. Baggy dress pants and a boxy blazer juxtaposed with a causal ‘I heart Paris’ graphic tee. Karen balances a youthful and edge vibe with some serious office attire, creating an outfit that’s undeniably cool.<\/p>\n

Meena Rose<\/h3>\n

We’ve all heard of cargo pants, but what about cargo skirts? With a wide slit in the front and back, this khaki long skirt also doubles as a mini with a long trail. Paired with a frayed cropped button up and a dark clutch, Meena solidifies the return of business casual.<\/p>\n

Narjisi<\/h3>\n

Simply mesmerised by this ombre abaya ensemble, that seemingly spills down this best dressed fashionista. @nnnrjs<\/a> doesn’t shy away from colour in this ensemble, as she proves elegance can still be bright and vibrant. Paired with a white Jacquemus crossbody, this outfit exudes a lightweight elegance.<\/p>\n

Nazly Firas<\/h3>\n

Nazly shows us that streetwear is only cool and androgynous, it can also be elevated. She pairs a sheer knitted high collard Diesel top with a trendy leather jacket, but the ultimate shocker is the footwear. Neon green pointed toe heels poke out from under the baggy white jeans. Proving the sleek pony look is still alive and well, she adds a mini silver bag to complete the stylish streetstyle fit.<\/p>\n

rania fawaz<\/h3>\n

The Scorpio queen celebrated her birthday with carefree joy, and style of course. Rania meshes elegance with a rough edge, pairing a high neck white grown with black leather gloves. Intermixing a delicate feminine vibe with masculine touches. The sleek hairstyle also reappears, in a bun this time, with striking diamond earrings dangling by her ears.<\/p>\n

Reem<\/h3>\n
\"Reem
Instagram @the.rreem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Committed to the neutrals, the Reem stuns us in a hue of white and ashy grey. With some white baggy jeans breaking up the sea of grey, she proves that a (semi) monochromatic look always wins in the elevated books. Simple yet effective, she wears a matching grey heeled sandal to elevate the best dressed ensemble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42696,"featured_media":43695,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[260,65,5172,140,35,5023,5031,4025],"yoast_head":"\nAlanoud Badr, Karen Wazen
