From runway revivals to beach-day essentials, Summer 2025 in the Middle East is serving statement looks with substance. Whether you’re styling it up in Sahel or keeping it casual in Amman, here are the trends making waves—worn by the region’s most stylish names like Lana Albeik, Salma Abu Deif, Ikram Abdi, and more.
Polka Dots
Polka dots are no longer just retro—they’re having a full-on reboot. Bold, graphic, and anything but dainty, this print is being reimagined by cool girls like Lana Albeik and Deema Al Asadi. Think mesh tops, oversized patterns, and edge over nostalgia.
Cowboy Hats
The cowboy hat has officially crossed over. Spotted on Bella Hadid and Ikram Abdi, it’s not just festival-core anymore—it’s city-ready, paired with everything from denim to tailored suits. And yes, it’s even being styled over hijab, giving modest fashion a bold twist.
Sequins
High shine is no longer reserved for night. Sequins are showing up at brunch, weddings, and everything in between. With designers going all in—think sequined shirts, skirts, and sets—Sohaila Kandil shows us how to make sparkle feel everyday cool.
Crochet Everything
Crochet is no longer just boho—it’s the summer essential. From breezy cover-ups to statement sets, the open-knit look is everywhere. Imaan Hammam and Salma Abu Deif make a strong case for staying cool while looking effortlessly styled.
Headscarves
Headscarves are moving past tradition and into trend territory. With fresh shapes, fabrics, and prints, scarves are being worn as tops, hair wraps, and statement accessories. Whether wrapped under the chin or layered over hijab, stars like Nour Arida, Karen Wazen, and Mayan El Sayed are redefining the look.
Short Flowy Dresses
This summer’s go-to silhouette? Light, floaty dresses that hit above the knee and move with the breeze. Think cotton poplin or silky fabrics that give off an easy, undone vibe—no styling stress required. Lana Albeik and Karen Wazen have been spotted in versions that feel playful, relaxed, and still totally put-together.
Navy Style
This isn’t your usual nautical moment. Crisp navy-and-white combos and elevated Breton stripes are bringing a clean, refined mood to the season. Gigi Hadid is already leaning in, and the look reads classic navy attire.
Summer, Styled Your Way
Whether you’re dressing for heat, travel, or an extra moment on the ‘gram, these trends offer a fresh way to rotate your summer wardrobe. It’s not just about following fashion—it’s about making it work for your life, your way.
