For The Classic Gown, you could go for an ankle length dress or a midi dress that hits somewhere between your knee and mid-calf. Maybe butter yellow, emerald green, powdery pink, deep burgundy, or the classic black depending on your skin tone.
Fabric could be silk, crepe, sequins, high quality stretch or a structured satin that looks expensive and feels amazing. Sleeves, necklines, shawls and fancy coats are details you may also want to pay attention to. You can pair with stilettos, some statement earrings, and a nice clutch. Spots like the Armani Hotel restaurants close to the Burj Khalifa will be a perfect match with this fit.
The Chic Option is when you want comfort and don’t feel like wearing a dress. A simple fitted midi skirt or wide-leg palazzo pants in white, black, navy, dark green or wine, paired with a gorgeous silk or satin light coloured blouse. The pants should be high-waisted and flared to give that extremely comfortable, sassy and polished look. You can finish this look with pointed-toe heels or elegant mules. Some jewelry? And you’re done! Pants awesome for those restaurants where you might be sitting on cushions or low seating, because you don’t have to worry about your dress riding up.
Jumpsuits are usually outside the norm, but a really well-cut jumpsuit is everything for a Dubai dining. I’m referring to a wide-leg style that’s tailored through the top and flows smoothly through the legs.
You could go with black, but I’ve also seen stunning embellished jumpsuits in jewel tones or even elegant prints. Pair it with heels and keep your jewelry simple with a sleek clutch.
You don’t have to overthink Dubai dinners. Wear something that feels elegant, comfortable, and respectful. Be confident from the lobby to the table while you take in the scenery. Enjoy your evening!
