Evening wear is an essential part of women's wardrobes in the UAE, but if, like me, you struggle to find simple, chic pieces amid the bright patterns and endless gold embroidery, then perhaps try Purificación García.
Having recently released an evening-wear edit, this neat selection comprises elegant sheath dresses and flowing kaftans, which are both refined and easy to wear. Particularly good are a rosy pink asymmetric full-length gown, and a simple black column dress with contrasting shoulder straps.
Teamed with flats or heels and a favourite piece of jewellery, they will be at home equally in a restaurant or at the opera.
Also part of the collection is a selection of bags, including chain-strap bags with naive flowers, and a fully beaded clutch for extra glamour.
