October is here, and with temperatures starting to cool down and office life reeling back in, all we look forward to is getting cosy, sparing ourselves the chore of mixing and matching at 6 in the morning.
After having spent the better part of the past two years sat at home in your makeshift office, you’re probably in the market for a few new pieces. Here’s our advice: shopping local is always better. Buying from and supporting our talents in the region should be on top of everyone’s shopping criteria.
So, without further ado, if you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe, or just have a fresh and cool, -but deep down you know it’s those ‘just grab and wear’- pieces in your closet, we’ve made a quick round-up of the newest T-shirt releases, from our favorite local Arab brands and designers.

Designed by illustrator Narmeen Hamadeh, the ‘Habibati Alard’ T-shirt is a definite must-have.
