How to dress in Dubai as a woman

Dubai is a fantastic location for getting away from it all and seeing the best that the Middle East has to offer with year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches and luxury indulgences. Before you arrive, though, it’s important to keep in mind that Dubai has some clothing restrictions due to its Islamic culture.

This means that you should make an effort to dress modestly and wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. However, you should also aim to wear clothing for the hot weather that keeps you cool.

If you need some advice on how to dress in Dubai as a woman to simultaneously meet the dress code and keep comfortable, take a look at our top tips below to get some inspiration.

  • Go fancy with a blouse and pants
  • Keeping it casual with a tee and jeans
  • Selecting a chic jumpsuit

Go fancy with a blouse and jeans

Dressing modestly in Dubai is important to ensure you respect the culture of the city with its particular customs and traditions. If you are in more tourist-centric areas, such as hotels or malls, you can expect to see tourists dressing a little more casually. Though, if you are in public spaces, more modest outfits are expected.

Take this opportunity to break out your fanciest outfit – one that’s truly bedazzling. A great way to ensure you meet this dress code is to wear a blouse and pants. To get a little scientific, choosing attire that is lighter instead of darker will mean that your clothing reflects the heat instead of absorbing it. This means that choosing clothing in a lighter color will keep you cooler for longer.

With all this in mind, the TAYLOR white blouse and CAMILLE white pants make for an unbeatable combination for your Dubai trip. This pairing will match the luxuriousness of the city perfectly with the TAYLOR’s diamanté and pearl button detailing and the CAMILLE’s exclusive crepe. Both are made from comfortable, lightweight and breathable materials, so this combination couldn’t be a better choice.

Keeping it casual with a tee and jeans

When you want to dress down on your vacation and take it easy, a relaxed top and jeans are the ideal combo. Ensuring that your clothing isn’t too revealing while giving enough breathability, a T-shirt and jeans are just the solution if you’re stuck for ideas about how to dress in Dubai as a woman.

Take the MERABI white logo T-shirt. This high-quality tee is made from our exclusive jersey knit to keep you comfortable. Adorned with our distinctive NADINE MERABI logo design, simply pair it up with your favorite pair of jeans and you’re good to go. Though, it’s important to note that you’re best choosing some jeans that are looser and less dense if you go for this combo to avoid becoming too hot in the Dubai climate.

Selecting a chic jumpsuit

Taking all the guesswork out of wondering what to pair for the ideal outfit choice, a jumpsuit is a straightforward and effortlessly elegant way to create an outfit. With full coverage from head to toe, there’s no risk of potentially causing offense while on your travels. Plus, with one of our jumpsuits, you’ll create an outfit that will stagger passersby.

Choose the MONIQUE black jumpsuit for an outfit that will bring the level of glamor and sophistication you’re looking for while in a city so modern and flashy. The feather trim to the cuffs and shoulder pads give this jumpsuit the extra pop you need to pull off a spellbinding look. Meanwhile, the beaded stretch mesh will ensure your body is modestly complemented.
