That’s right, you heard it. The latest look is all about volume, so get ready to exaggerate and amplify your wardrobe this season.

It’s not all about wearing clothes the way you see them during New York Fashion week or on the runways! It’s important to pick up realistic looks from the runway and make them your own.

Be sure to maintain proportion - for example voluminous dresses, kimono tops, boxy jackets or tunics should be balanced with narrow bottoms - be it jeans, trousers or a skirt.

Key looks to watch out for this season:

Oversized bags: A personal favourite - and ideal for carrying everything without having to worry about the zip coming apart! It’s also a great way to stay trendy when you travel.

Long layered necklaces and oversized pendants: Add oomph to a plain t-shirt, bubble dresses and tops.

Wear a belt: It looks great with a voluminous or kimono top.

Full flowing skirts look the part, and suit almost all body types. 

Oversized sunglasses: Dubai’s sunny all year round, so look sophisticated and stylish this season without breaking the bank! I recommend Top Shop, Koton and Aldo Accessories for affordable look-alikes.
