Photo: @miumiu Instagram
With the first quarter of 2025 officially behind us, the fashion girls have spoken, and the algorithm has listened; the Lyst Index 2025 has officially unveiled the most coveted fashion brands of Q1.
This season, the spotlight shifted away from structured, tailored pieces and leaned toward versatile and comfort-first designs.
With memorable returnees like Miuccia Prada's Miu Miu, to the fashion moments that topped the TikTok algorithm and the unapologetic viral ballerina flats too, the Lyst Index shows what exactly everyone has been raving about.
Keeping you in the know and ahead of the crowd in the GCC, GRAZIA breaks down the top fashion brands that ruled the first quarter and the pieces that are firmly on our wishlist. Loewe LOEWE TOMATO CLUTCH IN NAPPA LAMPSKIN DHS13,850 SHOP NOW
Taking the spot as the most popular brand of the first quarter is Loewe. Naturally known for its artisanal craftsmanship and flair for virality, it's no surprise that its standout pieces dominated the field, especially with its former creative director, Johnathan Anderson, drawing up his final SS2025 collection. An inevitable spot, the Loewe Tomato clutch meme that lived rent-free in everyone's heads is officially here, launched with the Loewe Paula's Ibiza summer 2025 collection Miu Miu MIU MIU SUEDE HANDBAG WITH TASSLES IN OAK DHS9,000 SHOP NOW
An unapologetic returnee, Miu Miu is a powerful force in its own right. The Italian Maison consistently demonstrates that its blend of femininity and strength is what keeps it at the forefront of the zeitgeist, much like its soft brown suede bag, which features a triangular silhouette elevated with tassel detailing complete with its iconic lettered logo embossed on the lambskin leather. Saint Laurent SAINT LAURENT LOULOU SLINGBACK PUMPS IN PATENT LEATER IN OIL GREEN & VERT DHS25,000 SHOP NOW
In Q1, Saint Laurent returns to its spot within the top three brands. Being at the forefront, the Maison's sleek tailoring and bold accessories remain a fan-favourite amongst the fashion community. Much like its slingback, LouLou pumps in green featuring an elongated gold-plated pointed toe. Coach COACH BROOKLYN SHOULDER BAG 28 DHS1,650 SHOP NOW
It's no feat that the It-girl brand, Coach, would climb the ladder as one the hottest brands in the first quarter. From launching its FW2025 collection In New York City's Upper East Side to its slew of appearances donned by the likes of Palestinian-Dutch model Bella Hadid, Coach's style, whether in the form of structured bags or classic slingbacks, the brand's grasp amongst the fashion girls continues to reign. Prada PRADA OSTRICH LEATHER MULES IN BLACK DHS10,000 SHOP NOW
Time and time again, Prada's penchant for being untraditional reigns supreme. As a renowned luxury name, the brand consistently delivers exquisite craftsmanship. Needless to say, whether it's tailored pieces or accessories like the ostrich leather mules ( adding to cart ), it perfectly showcases the brand's undeniable signature for details and comfort. Cos COS BARREL LEG TROUSERS IN GREEN DHS445 SHOP NOW
Seen on and off the runway, the barrel silhouette has been a fashion favourite for the last couple of seasons. And while many gravitate to denim for its structured appeal, COS' barrel-leg trousers in lightweight cotton have emerged as the go-to for its voluminous, airy detail and relaxed fit. Bottega Veneta BOTTEGA VENETA NOT CAT EYE SUNGLASSES IN HAVANA, GOLD, AND BROWN DHS 2,775 SHOP NOW
A true favourite amongst unapologetic women, Bottega Veneta, as always, exudes its cool energy. Away from the usual and leaning more into modern design, these classic cat eye sunnies, which feature the brand's knot motif in gold, prove that the brand's play with various elements will always be sought-after. The Row THE ROW MARLO 17 LEATHER BAG IN DEEP BROWN DHS 26,168 SHOP NOW
While the Margaux bag will forever remain a staple, there's a new 'it' bag in town, and it comes with a soft structure and silhouette. Enter the Marlo, the brand's latest addition to its must-haves which features tubular handles, a gusseted design for unrestrained movement, and a silvery zipped closer. The Marlo, the brainchild of the Olsen twins, is unsurprising that they, and the bag, would break the internet.
Chloé CHLOÉ HIGH-RISE LEATHER SHORTS IN FADED MAHOGANY DHS11,125 SHOP NOW
Chloé is back, and she's softer and better than ever. Making its debut on the hottest products and brands (rightfully so), the French Maison's return signals that fashion is back to being on its soft side. Chloé's bohemian codes show softness can manifest in pleats and gathered leather shorts. The must-have piece? It's this high-rise short in a rich mahogany colourway. Alaia ALAIA LAMBSKIN LEATHER BALLET FLATS WITH FISHNET DETAILING IN MIDNIGHT BLUE DHS3,286 SHOP NOW
Ballet flats have consistently remained a staple in everyone's wardrobe. With brands adding their gusto element to the shoe silhouette only one, Alaïa, has surely monopolised the design with its signature twists and fishnet motif. Never too late to have a pair of your own, these ballet flats made from textured lambskin with rounded toe and buckle straps on top offer a blend of comfort and unmistakable Alaïa edge.

The $148 Lululemon Dress That's Replacing Your Summer Capsule Wardrobe — But Is It Worth the Hype?
Lululemon The internet can't stop talking about one dress: Lululemon's new 2-in-1 Maxi Dress, a $148 wardrobe chameleon that's dominating TikTok feeds and trending across fashion forums. Minimalist in silhouette but bold in versatility, the ankle-length number functions as both a strapless dress and a fold-over maxi skirt. And if your For You Page is anything like ours, you've probably seen influencers styling it for everything from airport travel to rooftop dinners. But is it actually worth the hype — or just another flash-in-the-pan trend? TikTok's Favorite Summer Dress, Lululemon 2-in-1 Maxi Dress, Is Selling Fast — Here's What You Need to Know: Lululemon It's Not Just a Dress — It's a 2-in-1 Power Piece Let's break down the specs. The Lululemon 2-in-1 Maxi Dress is designed with functionality and comfort in mind. The bodice is made from an ultra-soft, lightweight version of the brand's Nulu™ fabric, brushed for a luxurious feel and a polished finish. It features four-way stretch, is sweat-wicking, and quick-drying — so it stays breathable and comfortable even on the hottest days. The skirt portion is crafted from a soft, silk-blend modal fabric that also offers four-way stretch, along with moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties. The material is naturally breathable, making it ideal for everything from travel to brunch to warm summer evenings. Unlike many of Lululemon's offerings, this piece isn't performance activewear — it's part of their casualwear range, designed to move effortlessly between style settings while maintaining the brand's signature fabric technology. The goal? A fuss-free, go-anywhere essential that can be dressed up or down with ease. The Fit: Who It's For—and Who Should Skip It The dress runs true to size, but shorter shoppers (under 5'4') have reported needing to hem it or wear platform sandals. The strapless bodice is secure for most bust sizes, thanks to the thicker material and snug banding. That said, if you're petite or curvier on top, you might find it challenging to keep in place without constant adjusting — especially if worn without a bra. Some Reddit users have noted that the fabric, while soft, is thinner than expected, making seamless undergarments a must. Others called it their favorite purchase of the season, with one review on Lululemon's site reading: 'I absolutely love this dress! It's so flattering, incredibly comfortable and I get compliments everywhere I go. I liked it so much I bought a second one in black. It's a true classic piece that I know I'll wear for years!' Lululemon Styled Three Ways: Airport, Aperitivo, and Office Travel Day Fit: Worn as a skirt with a cropped tank or hoodie and white sneakers. Add a baseball cap and belt bag and you're TSA-ready in style. Evening Out: Pulled up as a dress, paired with oversized earrings, kitten heels, and a blazer draped over the shoulders for dinner. Work Chic: As a skirt with a tucked-in silk blouse and loafers — surprisingly polished for an office setting when done right. For an investment piece, the dress scores major points on *cost per wear*. Grazia's Verdict: Hype-Worthy, With Caveats The Lululemon 2-in-1 Maxi Dress is not the answer for every body type or every summer moment — but it comes close! If you're someone who lives in neutral staples and thrives on low-maintenance dressing, it may earn a permanent place in your capsule wardrobe. At $148, it's not a steal — but if you consider that it replaces two pieces (and can be styled countless ways), it's easier to justify. Just don't expect it to double as shapewear or hold structure like a woven garment — it's soft, stretchy, and meant to move with you, not sculpt you.
