Cool by design: Summer-friendly fabrics to beat the heat and look good this season
Whether you're staying in the UAE this summer or heading to heatwave-stricken Europe on holiday, you'll surely be looking for light, airy fabrics that will not only look good, but also help keep you feeling fresh. In their spring/summer 2025 collections, designers prove that staying cool can look impossibly chic, as they embraced summer-friendly materials that marry breathability with effortless elegance. Here, we explore some of the standout fabrics to invest in this summer. Cotton: Timeless essential Few fabrics rival cotton' s universal appeal. It's a natural fibre that allows air to move around freely, making it breathable. It also absorbs and releases moisture quickly, which helps keep you dry and cool throughout the day. Soft, durable and endlessly versatile, cotton takes centre stage within numerous collections this season, reimagined through fresh silhouettes and modern tailoring. At Hermes, creative director Veronique Nichanian delivers crisp cotton shirts for men in soft neutral palettes, paired with relaxed trousers that exude understated sophistication. For women, Jacquemus offers voluminous cotton poplin dresses in striking white, creating movement and airiness perfect for sun-drenched days. Prada's Days of Summer capsule collection features simple cotton dresses and shirts that will make the perfect elegant throw-on piece as you head from beach to dinner. Linen: Luxe take on laid-back Long associated with coastal ease, linen is an alluring option for summer. It's naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, so helps stave off heat rashes. Made from a flax plant, it requires less energy and water to grow, meaning it also has the benefit of being more sustainable. Loro Piana, the undisputed master of fine linen, showcases impeccably tailored suiting in muted sand and stone tones for men, ideal for balmy summer evenings. Meanwhile, Chloe embraces linen's natural drape in fluid, bohemian dresses and suits, styled with rope belts and artisanal details that evoke Mediterranean holidays. Zegna 's Oasi Lino collection features understated pieces in soft pastel and nude tones, all made from 100 per cent certified traceable linen. Silk: Airy elegance For those who crave a touch of opulence, silk remains a summer favourite. It is lightweight and has the added benefit of helping the body regulate its temperature by absorbing and releasing moisture. The spring/summer 2025 collections saw designers celebrating silk's natural sheen and fluidity. Miu Miu's collection – which we shot earlier this year – unveils silk slip dresses for women, while Elie Saab 's silk offerings come in the form of lightweight trousers, shirts and, of course, elegant summer kaftans. For men, Dries Van Noten introduces printed silk shirts in abstract florals and watery patterns, layered over tailored shorts or linen trousers. Rayon and Chambray: Technical edge Modern summer wardrobes are increasingly looking to smart synthetic fabrics that work as hard as they look good. Enter rayon – known for its moisture-wicking properties and smooth hand-feel. Dolce & Gabbana 's spring/summer 2025 menswear includes rayon-blend collared shirts in bold hues, offering both polish and performance for city summers. Chambray – which can be made of cotton and linen or synthetic fibres, and is often mistaken for denim – brings a casual yet refined touch at Brunello Cucinelli, where chambray shirts and shirtdresses in washed indigo tones provide an ideal balance of structure and softness.

India blocks Pakistani stars' social media accounts again, ban on YouTube channels stays
All Pakistani accounts on X have been blocked in India after briefly being accessible in the past few days, official sources confirmed on Thursday. Just a day after the Instagram and YouTube accounts of several Pakistani celebrities became visible once again in India, the Indian government has reinstated the digital restrictions, citing a 'technical glitch' for their brief reappearance. By Thursday morning, the Instagram and X profiles of stars such as Mawra Hocane, Ahad Raza Mir, and Saba Qamar were once again inaccessible to Indian users, reported India Today. Those attempting to view their pages were met with the message: 'Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.' The move comes in continuation of India's escalating digital and diplomatic restrictions against Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir. After the attack, India responded with a series of retaliatory measures, including the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty and the launch of Operation Sindoor, targeting nine terror launch pads inside Pakistan. Among the measures was a wide-reaching crackdown on Pakistani media and social media content — encompassing accounts of actors, cricketers, and internet influencers — across Instagram, X, YouTube, and other platforms. Although several of these accounts had recently become accessible again, prompting criticism and questions about their restoration, they are now re-blocked. When users in India try to access these profiles, they are met with a message stating: "Account Withheld. (Name of the account) has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand." On Wednesday, users briefly gained access to X and Instagram accounts of several Pakistani actors and internet personalities, including Mawra Hocane, Saba Qamar, Ahad Raza Mir, Yumna Zaidi, and Danish Taimoor, as well as YouTube channels run by former cricketers Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Akhtar. However, accounts belonging to Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Hania Aamir remained blocked throughout. Additionally, the ban on YouTube also remains, sources said. Earlier in May, the Indian government issued an advisory directing all OTT platforms and digital intermediaries to discontinue content originating from Pakistan. The advisory, dated May 8, 2025, and issued under the IT Rules, 2021, stated that "content hosted or streamed must not threaten India's sovereignty, integrity, national security, or public order." It explicitly instructed media platforms to remove "web-series, films, songs, podcasts and other streaming content" produced in Pakistan, whether on subscription-based or free platforms. Following the brief restoration of access to some Pakistani accounts, the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) made an urgent appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding a total blackout of all Pakistani social media presence in India. The association called the visibility of such accounts an "insult to the sacrifice of our martyred soldiers" and an "emotional assault" on Indians who have lost loved ones to terror attacks orchestrated by Pakistan. Citing major terror incidents like 26/11, Pulwama, Uri, and the recent Pahalgam attack, AICWA labelled Pakistan a "terrorist nation" and condemned Pakistani artists who, according to them, have "shamelessly spoken against India instead of showing remorse." In their appeal, AICWA put forth three specific demands -- a complete digital blackout of all Pakistani accounts and media channels in India; a ban on all future collaborations or promotions involving Pakistani nationals; and a permanent cultural disconnect from Pakistan as a tribute to the Indian Armed Forces and the families of martyrs.

22 business lunches to book for a midday break in Dubai
Life by Sarah Joseph July 4, 2025 VIEW GALLERY/ 22 IMAGES Known for its vibrant dining scene, Dubai has a plethora of restaurants with a host of irresistible business lunches you simply can't miss. Designed for a luxe networking experience or even to take a break from the mundane routine of a 9 to 5, a business lunch is quick, convenient and fancy, making it the perfect meal to savour in the emirate. If you need to recharge those creativity levels and tuck into lunch outside the office or if you have to sign a business deal with a client, there are plenty of business lunches in Dubai to choose from. Quite often it's important to have a change of scenery during the day to switch off for an hour and simply laugh and unwind. Dubai is home to several Michelin-recognised spots in Dubai, Green star, and Bib Gourmand spots where the finest quality resides. Here are some options depending on the dress code of the company or industry: Business Formal A well-fitted pantsuit or skirt suit, blouse, and closed-toe pumps. Neutral or soft colors work well. Business Casual A blouse or tailored top with dress pants or a knee-length skirt, paired with flats or low-heeled shoes. Smart Casual A stylish blouse or dressy top with tailored pants or a midi skirt, complemented with low heels or chic flats. How to accessorise Keep accessories simple and tasteful. A watch or small jewelry is appropriate. If it's cooler, a light blazer or coat is a good choice. Neutral tones like white, beige, navy, and black tend to look more professional, but don't shy away from a pop of color if it's appropriate for the setting. Hence, with our hectic schedules and day-to-day meetings, trying out new spots can be a challenge, which is why several top-rated eateries in town offer set business lunch menus for the busy bees in the city. From LPM to Zuma, the city offers the best without breaking the bank. So, if you're looking for where to dine next, Emirates Woman has curated the ultimate guide of fine-dining restaurants in Dubai for an elegant midday meal. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Instagram @haileybieber @ana_elisa_
