In a time when social media trends dictate our wardrobes and many lean towards off-the-rack looks straight out of Pinterest boards, it’s always refreshing to see individuality in fashion. The beauty of Sole DXB has always been its celebration of the unconventional, and this year was no different.
While social media has a chokehold on style uniformity—dictating trends from “quiet luxury” to Barbiecore—we saw a crowd that loves experimentalism. And creative, fashion-savvy experimentation we did see, from hair dyed to mimic cheetah print to thrifted, DIY’d, and custom-made streetwear looks.
Here are some of the most creative looks spotted at this year’s edition.
