Maxi dresses and skirts with an unusual cut and wide trousers (culottes, palazzo, and others) are the specialties of Dubai girls. In some wealthy families, which are easy-going about clothes, girls wear jeans, preferring elongated flared models mixed with tunics and long-sleeved blouses.

● Layering in clothes

● Sport chic

A sporty style of clothing doesn’t imply outfits with over sexuality. Sport chic is about mixing sporty and romantic and/or business styles. Arab girls adore it, so sweatshirts, baggy joggers, and bombers fit harmoniously into the conservative wardrobe of Dubai fashionistas, who combine them with feminine elements, like high-heeled shoes for example.

● Abaya

Abaya is a long, tight dress with sleeves that cover the arms. In it, women go to public places. But even such a must-have item for Arab women as abaya has managed to turn into a fashionable outfit. Today, their abayas are stylish capes with incredible decor – embroidery, fringe, inlay, ruffle, and contrasting inserts that claim to be a work of art.

● Hijab style

Dubai is the most modern city in the United Arab Emirates. Here, not all women cover their heads with hijabs, but if they do it, then in a very original form, creating intricate knots from the scarf.

● Accessories

Arab girls are passionate about jewelry. And the Dubai ones are no exception: jewelry with large stones and ornate oriental design is in great demand.

Young girls also wear modern jewelry, but they still choose the most noticeable and large pieces from the fashionable jewelry collections. Besides, Dubai is about brand love. Here fashionistas are crazy about branded handbags and shoes. The richest girls can even buy the same model, but in different colours so that they can wear their favorite accessories with all the outfits.

An interesting fact: here even a car is a must-have accessory for girls. And although the United Arab Emirates is an ultra-conservative and patriarchal country, since 2018, girls can drive a car equally as men. Therefore, fashion mongers choose luxury cars. Even those who don’t have enough funds (which is extremely rare), rent Lamborghini in Dubai. Or Porsche, or Mercedes, it doesn't matter, the main thing is that the car is eye-catching.

Final words

Modern Dubai is rightfully considered one of the richest cities in the world, which automatically turns it into the largest shopping center. That is why the girls here try to look expensive and fashionable.

The main phenomenon of Dubai fashion is that girls buy trendy things and wear dresses from Armani and Dolce & Gabbana, jeans, short skirts, and exquisite suits under abayas. Branded clothes and fabulously expensive models are worn even at home since the girls try to look perfect in the family circle.
