While it may seem like it was only yesterday when we were making our summer plans, 2023 is indeed slipping by as we enter the last of this year’s balmy nights. In the UAE especially, the sighting of the Suhail star on August 24 is said to traditionally mark the end of the extreme heat, according to the Arab Union for Astronomy and Space Sciences. This does not mean that chilly weather is upon us just yet, instead, is the perfect time to look to those pieces that are too warm for summer and too cold for winter in the region. Think, light layers, maxi dresses, and skirts topped with airy knitwear and cardigans, straight-legged jeans, as well as boots, and closed-toe footwear, all of which have wardrobe-staple potential.
