Affordable fashion brands available in Dubai
ASOS
Known for its commitment to new fashion trends (butter yellow, anyone?) and stocking over 850 cool brands at great prices, ASOS is still very popular in the UAE. There are plenty of bargains on the site, especially when there is a seasonal sale.
We recommend ASOS Premier, which is Dhs200 for the year and will give you unlimited Express delivery on anything over Dhs150 (and standard delivery on all others). ASOS parcels tend to arrive after around 5/6 days with express delivery, and returns are completely free.

Brands for Less, like its name suggests, is the place to find big brands for a generous discount.
Similar to global retailers like TJ Maxx or TK Maxx, Brands for Less is basically a big treasure hunt, but when you do find something good – the smug feeling is like no other.
As well as securing a fashion bargain or two, they also stock homeware, toys, beauty and electronics.

Topshop returns with a stylish relaunch and these pieces are worth the hype
Topshop is officially back, and we've rounded up the top pieces from the new collection that are worth buying, including a cosy borg coat from Cara Delevingne's edit Topshop has been teasing its return all year, and now it's officially back. For millennials, the Oxford Street store was nothing short of iconic, a go-to destination for high street style and unforgettable fashion moments. Now, the brand is stepping into the spotlight again, this time with a fresh website and a relaunch that promises to bring the same buzz to a new generation of shoppers. The excitement hit its peak today at Trafalgar Square, where a runway show unveiled the season's standout pieces, reminding everyone why Topshop has always been a high street favourite. Adding even more star power to the relaunch, Cara Delevingne teamed up with the brand for a 30-piece edit that combines Topshop's cool, confident, and effortlessly stylish vibe with the model's iconic style. The relaunched collection has now officially landed on both and ASOS, and we've selected our favourite pieces we think are worth the hype. Topshop borg longline ovoid sleeve patchwork coat in black Available for £110 This cosy coat is made from soft borg with a stylish black and beige patchwork design. It features a funnel neck, button placket, side pockets, and a regular fit for easy layering when the weather drops. This is one of 30 pieces from Cara Delevingne's new edit with Topshop. Topshop Tanya point toe knee high boot in black Available for £60 These sleek black knee-high boots feature a classic pointed toe and a mid-height heel, that make them great for walking around all day in without feeling too uncomfortable. The simple, minimalist design makes these look far more high end than the £60 price tag. Pair with jeans, skirts or dresses for an elevated autumn look. Topshop longline brushed one button blazer coat with wool in grey marl Available for £89 This longline blazer is crafted from soft, brushed fabric that is perfect for transitioning into cooler weather. Layer over office outfits or midi dresses for a chic layer that doesn't take over your whole look. Thsi si the perfect wardrobe piece that combines style and comfort for everyday wear. Topshop Barrel high rise jeans in washed beige Available for £50 Alongside relaunching the iconic Joni jeans, Topshop has also released some trendy barrel leg jeans, which are the silhouette of the season. We love this washed beige colour for autumn as it can look a bit more elevated than classic blue denim, and works well with other neutrals for a chic tonal look. Topshop knitted easy ribbed relaxed cardigan in buttermilk Available for £40 Buttermilk yellow is one of the biggest colour trends of the year, so it's no surprise to see this creamy hue present throughout the new collection. Made from soft ribbed knit and with a classic round neck and a button-up front, this wardrobe staple has had a 2025 update with its on-trend colour.

Topshop official website to relaunch TODAY as brand plots high street return
TOPSHOP'S official website has relaunched today as the brand plots its return to the high street. Fans of the iconic British brand can now shop on Topshop 's new standalone website. 2 It is the first time in four years that shoppers can do so, with the brand's original online shop axed following its sale to Asos. To celebrate its return, the brand has curated a 40 piece collection with model Cara Delevingne, including a borg trench coat for £110. Customers can also shop iconic pieces, such as Topshop's Jaime Jeans. The ultra skinny jeans were a staple for many millennials back in the day. Last September, Asos sold a 75% stake to the brand to Bestseller, a Danish retail group that owns Jack & Jones. Since then, the Joni Jeans maker has made multiple hints about making a return to the high streets. In April this year, Topshop launched a pop-up at Defected Records, much to the delight of shoppers. This month, the brand will also begin selling its clothes in McElhinney's a department store in Ballybofey, County Donegal, Ireland. It will be the first time its clothes will be sold in a physical store since it moved into the online retail space. It comes after Michelle Wilson, MD at Topshop and Topman, previously told Drapers that the brand had something up its sleeve for August. Topshop teases high street return 'We have something planned in August to bring Topshop back into real life again, with a more semi-permanent presence than the one-day pop-up,' she said. But Wilson added that they aren't trying to "recreate" the Topshop that millions knew and loved. She explained that the clothing store will be given a 2025 makeover to allow it to compete with the current climate. As part of the relaunch, Topshop will be at Trafalgar Square in London tomorrow, August 16. It will host its first runway show since 2018 and preview its autumn and winter 2025 collections. WHAT HAPPENED TO TOPSHOP? The rise of e-commerce and the shift in consumer behavior towards online shopping caught the brand off guard. While competitors like Zara and H&M quickly adapted to the digital landscape, Topshop struggled to keep pace. Additionally, the brand faced criticism for its fast fashion model, which became increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact and labour practices. The rise of more ethical and sustainable fashion brands further eroded Topshop's market share. Financial troubles began to surface within the Arcadia Group, exacerbated by Sir Philip Green's controversial business practices and personal scandals. In 2019, Arcadia Group entered a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) to restructure its debts, leading to the closure of several Topshop stores. What makes the brand so unique? THE return of Topshop to the high street has left fans in a frenzy. Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains what makes the brand quite so special… Topshop was so much more than a clothing brand for millennials. It is woven into the tapestry of our coming of age. For me, the love affair started pre-teens coveting Freedom jewellery mood rings and yin yang symbols on black cord necklaces that were synonymous with the 90s. But as I grew up, Topshop was with me every step of the way. From the signature everyday Jamie skinny jeans to almost all my Friday night outfits. Until Topshop, high street fashion simply imitated trends led by top designers. But the brand became the forefront of cutting edge fashion, setting trends rather than following. This was underlined by Topshop Unique becoming part of the London Fashion week schedule in 2005, featuring the likes of Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn on the runway. But nothing secured its status as a fashion leader more than its iconic collaboration with Kate Moss. A range would sell out in a matter of hours as shoppers scrambled to own THE item of the season from the vests and tassel waistcoats to pretty tea dresses and tiny denim shorts. The Oxford Circus store was a long-time mecca for fashionistas. I still remember the buzz of heading down the escalators, completely overwhelmed by the choice of clothes and not knowing quite which way to turn first, as you were plunged into retail heaven. Yes, the brand has carried on online after being bought by Asos. But it just wasn't the same. Let us millennials relive our youth and bring back those physical stores.
