Lebanese Fashion: Euro Invasion
By Vivecca Chatila
Women in veils hiding their faces and dressed all in black? Here? Yeah right….Most people here in Lebanon are extremely fashion conscious, spending thousands of dollars a year on European labels as well as well respected Lebanese designers like George Chakra. It’s all about looking effortlessly chic, classic, put together, and showing off what your mama gave you. And don’t even think of leaving the house without being properly dressed or all eyes will be on you…and not for the right reasons.

Leggings and skinny jeans everywhere, sold in every color to go with almost anything in your wardrobe. Pair leggings with a long tee, and you’re ready to go out to dinner and clubbing! Winter is coming soon and long comfy knits, trench coats, and knee length skirts are flooding into H&M and Zara. And of course…you can pair all three with leggings and booties. You heard right! Lebanon isn’t all hot beachy weather. When winter arrives, brace yourself for windy, rainy, and snowy days.
If you want to look like a native, don’t be caught in anything last season. Always dress to impress…because here, everyone's watching.
