While many organisations are gradually reverting to in-person operations, there are still some offices and educational institutions that continue to run online. These smart style ideas, based on the latest Spring-Summer trends, are sure to make an impression at your next online meeting.
If you are working from home or attending virtual classes, it is rather tempting to roll out of bed and on to your desk. However, doing that for days on end can feel monotonous and uninspiring.
An easy way to boost your spirits is to rethink your virtual wardrobe – look polished from the waist up and yet make the most of being in the comfort of your home.
Sports Luxe
ATHELEISURE is the perfect balance between style and comfort, and has returned in a big way with brands focussed exclusively on the style opening shop in the kingdom.
“Chic sportswear has made a come back,” said Bahraini fashion designer Fatema Abdulaziz.
She recounted that it was also popular during the Covid-19 pandemic, when most of us were working from home.
If you’re looking for inspiration, bright coloured rugby tops and polo tees were spotted on the Spring-Summer 2026 fashion runways.
Hair apparent
YOUR mane has the power to make or break your look. In these sombre times, you deserve a pick-me-up – a fresh cut, some colour or simply a classic, lived-in 90’s blowout. Soft bobs, romantic pixies and other iconic 90’s hairstyles are making a massive comeback this summer. Keeping with the vibe, gel styling for men has returned in a big way so, slick it back or work those ‘romantic’ curls to get the mics unmuted.
Sweet prints
BOTANICAL patterns for spring are a given but this season calls for going bold with the blooms – think retro florals and baroque inspirations. Designers are also leaning towards polka dots and soft animal prints like fawn spots, both of which can effortlessly add character to any look. Patterns are becoming a manifesto of boldness in men’s fashion too – stripes, ethnic prints, Boho aesthetics, warped graphics and argyle to name a few.
