Autumn in the UAE: The grunge, golden glow and glossy skin edit — 8 fashion and beauty trends to try
Autumn has arrived on the fashion calendar, even if the UAE weather is still taking its time. That means you can admire the chunky knits, oversized coats and dramatic fall boots flooding TikTok without attempting to recreate them on a 35-degree afternoon. The good news: This season's biggest trends adapt to the Gulf more easily than most. This means, lighter layers instead of heavy ones, a little…
K-drama and BTS fashion trends are making waves in the UAE this season. The influence of Korean entertainment is so powerful that fashion editors and influencers are incorporating elements of K-drama wardrobes, K-pop styling, beauty trends, and celebrity fashion into their own personal styles.
While the weather in the UAE during autumn is not as crisp as in Seoul, there are still ways to achieve the look. The key is to focus on sharp tailoring, earthy colors, oversized shirts, perfectly thrown-on jackets, fine knits, and dramatic accessories. These elements can be achieved with breathable fabrics and lighter materials, as the UAE climate is more forgiving in the later months.
One approach is to take inspiration from Hyun Bin's tailored looks in Made in Korea. A charcoal or camel unstructured linen-blend suit paired with an open-collar shirt and tailored trousers can create an office-casual look that feels autumnal without overheating. A light blazer and cotton knit vest can add a touch of warmth to the outfit for cooler indoor spaces.
Another option is to borrow the statement-color look from The Scandal. A rich plum, deep green, burgundy, or rust midi skirt can be paired with a long-sleeve top and understated accessories. This dramatic color adds a pop of color to the wardrobe without requiring a full autumn wardrobe.
The Queen of Tears look offers another option for those who prefer a more understated approach. Grey knits, skirts, tailored silhouettes, and restrained colors can be achieved with fine-gauge cotton, viscose, or lightweight blends. This look is perfect for those who want to maintain a polished appearance without adding bulk to their outfit.
Finally, the BTS-inspired approach focuses on making one statement piece do the talking. An oversized denim jacket with a fitted tank and wide-leg trousers or a sculptural leather-look jacket with a simple T-shirt and relaxed trousers can create a bold statement. For daytime, lighter coated fabrics or faux-leather pieces can be used to keep the outfit breathable.
