A conservative wardrobe with a fashionable twist is the goal of many women, and traditional cuts mixed with bold details are the way to embrace a fashion forward style.
Leem has been establishing its brand in the region since 2018 and has earned a loyal modest fashion clientele globally. Its stylish silhouettes make a statement between traditional fit and modern flair. Leem’s all-inclusive motto makes its designs fit for all women, whether they choose to wear the brand’s pieces for cultural reasons or personal style preference.
The brand’s aesthetic is full of free-flowing kaftans, maxi skirts and dresses, timeless trenches and tailored power suits with fluid, ambiguous layers. The creations follow the principals of sleek structure and elegant lines. Besides its clothing collection, an array of daring accessories, such as turbans, cufflinks, earrings, head scarf pins, brooches and hats with attached hijabs, compose the add-ons. Leem’s SS21 collection explores ultra-feminine compositions with floral prints, prairie dresses, soft gradient hues, swishing pleats, and sheer fabrics.
The season also sees the interjection of bold trends via eye-catching statements, including exaggerated shoulders, vibrant pops of solid colour, studded embellishments, ethnic print accents, photographic prints on a jersey and the classic yet striking use of monochrome. Neutral hues are infused and layered with bold accents of colour, while 1970s’ silhouettes take the stage through wide-legged, high-waisted trousers. Flowing dresses in soft, feminine shapes and low-slung knotted hijabs are wardrobe staples for the modest woman this season.
The colour scheme is composed of shades of white, glistening gold, fresh aqua, cobalt blue, and jet black paired with pops of vibrant hues such as warm yellow, orange and teal. The palette is further focused on eccentric splashes of pink with yellow, emerald, mint and dark green and, not to forget, khaki, a beloved summer classic. The abaya collection is painted in solid tones, vibrant patterns in grey hues and some pieces incorporate splashes of colour.
Cleverly created to be worn during the warmer months; some designs have built-in dresses and abaya styles on the outside that form one piece, avoiding the need for layering. This style makes modest wear a comfortable choice in summer.
