Autumn/Winter Wardrobe Staples – with Zahra

With Autumn upon us, we asked Dubai based Style Doctors personal stylist Zahra to share her tips on which key items she suggests investing in this season.

Jumper Dress

This seasonal favourite has to make my list. Why? Because dresses in general make life (and getting ready in the morning) so much easier – just pop one on and go!

However, now that the new season is officially upon us, the floaty dresses we’ve been sporting for the last few months are no match for these new season cozy jumper dresses.

Once upon a time, jumper dresses used to be oversized and a little scruffy but for Autumn/Winter 2021, we’re seeing a whole new sleek set of dresses in stores.

How to Style // Wear with chunky biker boots during the day and high over-the-knee boots in the evening.

The Trench Coat

The trench coat is an essential wardrobe staple. A classic basic, a sartorial staple, an a multi-seasonal must-have.

Every woman needs a go-to, throw-it-on-and-you’re-out-the-door coat.

This timeless piece will take you from your desk to dinner, and see you through all seasons. In Dubai, a lightweight version will suffice for colder evenings but you may need something warmer if you are heading to colder climates.

How to Style // Glam it up with some red lipstick and killer heels. Dress it down with a printed T-shirt, jeans and white sneakers.

Leopard Print

When thinking about wardrobe staples, print may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, not only will a print liven-up your classic pieces, it can also become an outfit focal point in its own right. Case in point: leopard print. Along with a Breton stripe and tartan checks, leopard is the most timeless print you can purchase.

Select your colour with care: orangey shades will look less-luxe, whereas neutral shades look more expensive.

How to style // Switch your classic accessories for leopard items to add pops of fun to your look.
