Daim Gaw

Daim Gaw’s IG feed is a Pinterest board in its own right. The stunning THALYN dress from CHATS by C.DAM is the definition of timelessness. If elegance is your goal, look no further; you have found your dress.

A classic white dress can be empowering in many ways. The colour holds many meanings, such as angelic, pure, and grounded, so you get to decide which energy you wish to channel. It’s also tailor-made for a gorgeous sunset, giving you that beautiful contrast in all your pictures. Add an off-the-shoulder moment to that, and your outfit has just been elevated. The delicate silhouette exudes a very feminine essence that inspires you to tap into your higher self.

Abayas and the summer go so well together. The flowy, breathable design is exactly what we need this season. Pairing a beautiful floral with any of your basic outfits instantly adds a touch of sophistication. Abayas are trendy every season for their undeniable elegance, and summer is no exception. When the choice is between practical and opulent, choose a classic abaya and enjoy both.

Hala Abdallah

If you are trying to embody that “sunrise aesthetic,” this might be just the outfit. We absolutely adore Hala Abdallah and all her iconic looks, but this one might be our personal fave. This show-stopping Fendi set might just declare yellow the colour of the season. For anyone contemplating stepping out of their comfort zone and having some fun, this might be the sign you were waiting for. 

The colour yellow has been the centre of attention since butter yellow made its way to the scene. As an ode to bidding goodbye to minimalism and the clean girl aesthetic, the fashion community has set about pushing the boundaries. Bold, bright yellows are part of that journey. This Fendi set, so full of life and sunshine, is exactly what you need to get into that summer spirit.
