20 classic belts to upgrade your approach to daily dressing
Fashion by Sarah Joseph 2 hours ago The right belts can instantly make or break an outfit! What are the best ways to style your belts? A belt can instantly give shape to flowy or oversized dresses by cinching at the waist. Choose a contrasting belt for a statement look or a tone-on-tone belt for a sleek effect. Additionally, belting outerwear like a blazer or trench coat adds structure and makes your silhouette more defined, even with bulkier layers. Pair it with your jeans For a timeless style, wear a belt with high-waisted jeans or trousers. Opt for neutral colors like black, brown, or tan to complement most outfits. Make a statement A wide belt over a fitted dress or top creates an hourglass shape and serves as a statement accessory. This works well for both casual and formal outfits. If you want to opt for a bold look, a statement buckle belt can work wonders for any outfit. High-Waisted Styling High-waisted skirts or shorts pair beautifully with belts, particularly when tucking in your top. This look elongates the legs and gives an overall polished appearance. Known for its timeless nature, shelf life: any designer belt is a wearable wardrobe essential that'll tie all of your basics together, worn best through the waist loops of your favourite vintage denim. So, swipe through our guide of editor-approved belts to *add to cart* for a timeless wardrobe. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram October's – The Bold Issue – Download Now Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Instagram @alexiiak

Get over handbag charms. Here's why shoe charms are this season's must-style accessory
Fashion by Aminath Ifasa 1 hour ago Forget fussing over your handbag charms – this season's most irresistible style statement starts at your feet. Shoe charms have officially dethroned handbag baubles as the go-to accessory for personalization, turning ordinary sneakers and sandals into bold, conversation-starting pieces. What began as a niche runway flourish has exploded into a full-blown street-style movement, with TikTok fueling a 217% spike in posts. Whether you're layering on delicate chains or going all-out with fabric pinwheels, the real accessory drama is happening below the ankles. Here are our favorite shoe charms of the season How to Style Shoe Charms Shoe charms are the easiest way to refresh your footwear without buying a new pair—but nailing the look requires a little strategy. Here's how to style them like a pro: Start Small, Then Build: If you're new to the trend, try a single delicate charm (like a tiny heart or pearl clip) on a loafer or sneaker. Gradually add more for a bolder effect. Match Metals to Hardware: Keep your charms in the same finish as your shoe's eyelets or buckles (e.g., silver charms on sneakers with silver details). Play With Contrast: Pair rugged shoes (like chunky sneakers or combat boots) with whimsical charms (think mini disco balls or cartoon faces) for an edgy twist. Go Monochrome for Minimalism: Charms in the same color as your shoes (e.g., black beads on black mules) keep the look polished but personalized. Layer Textures: Mix fabric pom-poms with metallic chains or embroidered patches for dimension. Balance the Placement: Too many charms on one shoe can look chaotic—try spacing them evenly (e.g., one on the laces, one near the heel). Theme It Up: Pick a motif (marine charms for vacation, zodiac signs for everyday) to tell a story. Know When to Stop: If your shoes start jingling when you walk, you've gone too far—unless that's the vibe you want. The rise of shoe charms isn't just a trend but also a rebellion against subtlety. As designers and influencers alike embrace the joy of over-the-top footwear, the message is clear: fashion's most exciting energy isn't in the 'it' bag, but in the details underfoot. So clip on, thread through, and bedazzle to your heart's content. After all, why should handbags have all the fun? – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Pinterest

Maria Grazia Chiuri leaves Dior after 9 years
Just two days after a poignant cruise show in Rome—where models walked with covered faces—Dior announces the departure of its groundbreaking first female creative director. Who will take the reins? The fashion world was left stunned today as Dior announced the departure of Maria Grazia Chiuri, its first female creative director, after nearly a decade at the helm. The news comes just two days after her final show—the 2026 Cruise presentation in Rome—a deeply personal homecoming that now feels like a silent, symbolic farewell. Chiuri's last show for Dior was held in her hometown of Rome, marking the first time she brought the maison's runway to the Italian capital during her tenure. Yet, what seemed like a celebration now carries an air of mystery: models walked with their faces obscured by veils and draped fabrics, a hauntingly poetic choice that may have been an unintentional sign of her impending exit. Was this a subtle nod to her departure? A reflection on identity, legacy, or the transient nature of fashion? Only Chiuri knows—but the timing is undeniably poignant. Appointed in 2016, Chiuri made history as Dior's first female creative director, bringing a feminist lens to the storied French house. Her tenure was defined by elegant silhouettes, revived icons like the Saddle Bag, and slogan tees declaring 'We Should All Be Feminists.' Under her leadership, Dior became a beacon of modern femininity, blending tradition with progressive ideals. Before Dior, she spent 17 years at Valentino, shaping its romantic aesthetic alongside Pierpaolo Piccioli. Her exit now leaves another major fashion house in transition, following Piccioli's own departure from Valentino earlier this year. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dior Official (@dior) What's Next for Dior? With Chiuri's exit and Kim Jones' departure from Dior Men's earlier this year, the maison faces a pivotal moment of reinvention. No successor has been named, sparking industry-wide speculation: Will Dior return to a bold, avant-garde vision like John Galliano's era? Or will it continue Chiuri's refined, feminist approach with a new voice? In her farewell statement, Chiuri expressed gratitude, saying: 'Together, we have written an impactful chapter of which I am immensely proud.' As the fashion world awaits Dior's next move, one thing is certain: Maria Grazia Chiuri's legacy is indelible—and her final, enigmatic show will be remembered as a moment of quiet, powerful closure. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Instagram

25 weekend backpacks and carry-on totes for travelling light this Eid al Adha holiday
There's a fine art to travelling light. As Eid al Adha beckons and long weekend getaways loom, now's the time to start thinking about what to pack—but never without style. Enter the weekend bag: sleek, compact, and designed to move as effortlessly as you do. Whether you're a business traveller, laidback jetsetter, or a frequent flyer, the right weekend bag ensures you stay stylish on the move. No waiting at the baggage claim carousel–just grab your bag and go. The perfect weekend bag doesn't just carry your cabin essentials—it complements your look, streamlines your journey, and says something about the way you travel. Whether you're jetting off for a city escape, heading home for the holidays, or embracing a last-minute island retreat, your luggage should work as hard—and look as good—as you do. What to look for when investing in your first weekend bag? Think sculptural silhouettes in soft leather, elevated duffels with functional compartments, and lightweight totes that don't compromise on sophistication. A well-chosen weekend bag helps set the tone: it signals a sense of considered luxury, rather than last-minute chaos. When travelling light, it doesn't mean leaving behind your essentials, it's not about compromise but more about curation and being smarter about what you take with you. Choose multi-purpose pieces that you can easily layer and opt for comfort that does not skimp on polish. If you just can't picture yourself yet travelling with a weekend bag, turn to celebrity style inspiration, including Australian actor and Bottega Veneta ambassador Jacob Elordi and 'The Last of Us' lead actor Pedro Pascal, who have been spotted at the airports in stylish ensembles. Although air travel style has become a lost art form, these two have elevated the game with their Bottega Veneta Andiamo Maxi bags and designer-laden travel looks. To help you on your way, Emirates Man has curated an edit of elevated bags that make a strong case for travelling light this Eid, from classic luxury labels to budget-friendly contemporary favourites that marry form, function, and style for your next escape.
