United Arab Emirates

Clothing shopping in United Arab Emirates

  1. A

    Etro

    Jacopo Etro’s exuberant paisley designs are inspired by his travels. Borrowing ideas from around the globe, his exotic collections have featured richly coloured chiffon kaftans, Rasta shawls, textured ponchos and sari-style tops. Even men’s suits get playful touches thanks to plaid and houndstooth fabrics.

    Villa Moda

    The sexy 2001 Space Odyssey interior is reason enough to visit Kuwait 'Sheikh of Chic' Majed al-Sabah's one-stop-designer-shop. It's an added bonus that its curvy capsule-like boutiques are home to the hottest fashion, including Alexander McQueen, Easton Pearson, Stella McCartney and Marni.

    Zara

    Stylish Spain-based Zara has stores all over Dubai, but this is the original branch, with a fabulous selection of smart-looking affordable clothes and accessories. It rarely strays from its black, white, beige and grey colour palette, but the cuts and styling feel very now and look expensive.

    Women’s Secret

    This sassy Spanish label thrills girls with its global-pop-art-inspired underwear, swimwear and nightwear. Expect anything from cute Mexican cross-stitched bra and pants sets to Moroccan-style kaftan-like nightdresses.

    Praias

    Emirati women wouldn’t be caught dead wearing Praias’ skimpy candy-coloured bikinis and swirly-patterned beach dresses in public. Perhaps you shouldn’t either, unless you’ve first had a Brazilian wax job.

    Rectangle Jaune

    A great store for men, with a terrific selection of dress shirts in snappy stripes and bold patterns by a team of fashion-savvy Lebanese designers. There’s another branch in Deira City Centre.
