The brand new fashion season has arrived and with it, an excess of exciting Autumn/Winter 2016-17 trends and threads to buy for the many months ahead.

Filled with all of your favourite shops, the Middle East’s leading shopping malls are packed with glossy new items to transform your look.

Here, we countdown the top trends to look out for and the pieces your wardrobe needs now.

BORROWED FROM THE BOYS
The tomboy trend of past has been updated with a focus on more refined and tailored pieces. At big name shows such as Isabel Marant, Balenciaga and Gucci, we spotted masculine silhouettes including boxy coats, natty chequered trousers and pinstriped suits.

Stylists tip: Play with contrasts and proportions by pairing an oversized man’s shirt (belted at the waist) with skinny-fit denim and a spindly pair of heels.

CAPED CRUSADER
The cape is back in the spotlight for Autumn/Winter 2016-17. From beaded and floor sweeping at Marc Jacobs to cropped and trimmed with fur at Prada, we’re lusting after the parade of fashion’s new IT piece.

Stylists tip: This chic cover-up will complete any outfit in a flash - layer over everything from evening cocktail frocks to office attire.

MAGPIE EYE

Jumbo jewellery was a huge trend at the various Fashion Weeks. Oversized earrings, bejewelled knuckledusters and a mash-up of chunky necklaces were seen across all four fashion capitals. At Marni, we loved the chandelier earrings decked in baubles, while at Dolce & Gabbana the models were adorned with crystal-encrusted velvet chokers and hairbands.

Earrings, H&M, visit Mall of the Emirates, City Centre Sharjah, City Centre Ajman, City Centre Fujairah, City Centre Deira, City Centre Mirdif, City Centre Me'aisem, City Centre Bahrain, City Centre Muscat, City Centre Qurum, City Centre Alexandria, City Centre Maadi and City Centre Beirut

  With a colossal 90 million fans eagerly awaiting her daily photo updates, it’s little wonder why Selena Gomez is the most followed person on social media. There’s the six studio albums, more smash hits than we can count on both hands and the very high profile romance with Justin Bieber.

  Selena stepped into the spotlight at the tender age of seven joining the cast of Barney & Friends. The budding actress soon rose to fame after landing the leading role in the Disney channel series Wizards of Waverly Place.

In the subsequent years, the busy 23-year-old has also starred in a slew of films such as Spring Breakers, Monte Carlo and Hotel Transylvania.

But her true success lies in the stream of megahit songs, which include Same Old Love, Good For You, Hands To Myself, Come & Get It and most recently, Kill Em With Kindness – all of which has amassed hundreds of millions of downloads and video views on Youtube.

The American beauty is currently on her worldwide Revival tour with a stop in Dubai on the map at the Autism Rocks Arena on November 18th.

Selena has also made waves in the fashion and beauty industry, covering countless glossy fashion magazines, including Vogue, W and Elle, as well as campaigns for hair powerhouse, Pantene.

Before heading off on her big tour earlier this summer, the superstar was snapped at an event in Los Angeles. Pairing her blue jeans with a rleaxed white tank, Selena topped off the look with a bright yellow coat and camel coloured heels.   

Here, we show you how to get her chic look for less from the Middle East’s leading shopping malls.

  Be it on or off the stage, Rihanna is never one to shy away from over-the-top outfits and hard-to-try trends.

  From a curve-hugging transparent sheath decked with thousands of crystals, to a traffic-stopping neon green fur coat teamed with thigh-high vinyl boots, and who could forget about the couture yellow-caped gown complete with a cascading train she wore to last year’s prestigious Met Gala – it’s official, nobody nails show-stopping style quite like Rihanna.

  While the 28-year-old’s standout wardrobe may not be to everyone’s taste (how many woman can pull off a fluffy pink mink minidress with matching bobby socks?), we have to hand it to RiRi, she is definitely a fearless fashionista.

  Famous for her smash hit beats Diamonds, Umbrella, We Found Love and Stay (to name just a few), a few weeks ago the Barbadian singer and songwriter released a powerful ballad titled Sledgehammer for the Star Trek Beyond soundtrack.

  Showing off her fashion IT girl status, Rihanna recently stepped out for a meeting in Soho, New York, looking sleek and sophisticated. Wearing a classic little black dress topped off with a tailored coat, the singer/songwriter jazzed up her ensemble with quirky white heels and gold space-age inspired shades.

  Here, we show you how to get her edgy look from the Middle East’s leading shopping malls.

Long honey-hued locks, a 5’9” frame and legs for days, Blake Lively is no stranger to standing out from a crowd. Recently stepping out for the annual Cannes Film Festival in the Côte d'Azur, the stunning actress caused an even bigger stir as she decked her growing baby bump in an array of traffic-stopping red carpet looks. 

Married to Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, who she met on the set of sci-fi adventure film Green Lantern, Blake was a hit with Parisian fashion critics who praised the American beauty for her stylish approach to maternity wear.

The 28-year-old star shot to fame playing the role of Serena on CW’s hit show Gossip Girl and has since gone on to star in a long list of acclaimed films, including Savages, The Town and The Age of Adaline.

On this occasion, the actress was spotted attending a photo call in the French Riviera to promote her latest flick, a romantic comedy titled Café Society directed by award-winning cinema icon Woody Allen.

Draped in a flowing scarlet jumpsuit paired with delicate gold jewels, Blake certainly made a big impact.

Here, we show you how to get her glamorous look from the Middle East’s leading shopping malls.
