Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
Monsoon is known for quality, it uses rich fabric, intricate detailing, exotic colours and intelligent designs that still keep to the original Far East influence that founder Peter Simon brought in to London back in the 1970s from his travels abroad.
I recently stopped in to look for some clothing for work and really appreciated the style-guide cards hung on the end of the clothing racks. These guides give shoppers helpful tips on fashion pairing with the in-store items.
I was admiring a gorgeous tribal tank and noticed the guide marked ‘ways to wear the tribal cami’. This is a clever marketing ploy because fashion circuits starting firing in my brain and I wanted to buy the whole suggested outfit.
My next purchase will be a floral blazer with a style card advising me that it is a ‘perfect addition to the working wardrobe’. I found myself slowly nodding in agreement and will be back on pay day to buy it. I’m going to wear it over a lace detail cami and a lovely pair of coral poly/cotton blend trousers also found in the store. I’m hooked. Starting today they are holding a 50 per cent off sale, kinda wish I knew about this last week!
I popped into Twenty4 in Bahrain Mall and found it packed with shoppers. They are holding a 50 per cent off part sale until this Saturday. I saw some comfy pyjama pants for only BD1.400 in adorable pink and white polka dots or white with black hearts that will keep you looking sweet in the sheets.
For BD2.200 they have essential graphic tees in all the new trendy colours you can pair with cotton shorts or denim. In need of pool-side flip flops? For BD1.700 you can purchase an array of styles and colours to go with any summer outfit.
Guys you are not left out with this sale because there are polos in purple and black stripes, pink and black stripes, solid yellow and baby blue for only BD2.900. Pair these with this year’s camel coloured chinos, a pair of funky shades and you can walk with a confident swagger into any event.
Fashion tip of the week: If you are not sure how to wear the current trends look at the mannequins or the merchandise racks for suggested outfits.
