While the Dubai World Cup 2025 trots its way closer, it’s not only the horses getting all the attention — men’s fashion is also racing to the head of the style pack. UAE designer Varoin Marwah, the go-to stylist for Bollywood’s A-listers, has provided his top five insider secrets to get men noticed at the fashion-forward event.
1. Tailoring is Everything: Marwah stresses the significance of a perfectly fitting suit. Classic or modern, crisp tailoring is the key. “A poorly fitted blazer can spoil even the most costly ensemble,” he observes.
2. Play With Pastels: Although classic blacks and blues never go out of style, Marwah recommends playing around with pastels this time of year — imagine powder blue, mint green, or pale lilac. They’re ideal for daytime affairs and look stunning under the Dubai sun.
3. Pro Accessorize: Pocket squares to lapel pins, accessories make the outfit. “Don’t underrate the value of details — a statement tie or vintage timepiece can be your showstopper,” says the designer.
4. Style with Comfort: As the desert weather is hot, Marwah recommends wearing light fabrics such as linen and cotton. Trendy loafers or suede shoes can also be the ideal choice between being comfortable and stylish.
5. Confidence is Key: No style is complete without attitude. “Walk with confidence, and you’ll conquer the track – stylishly, naturally,” Marwah summarizes with a grin.
With royals, celebrities, and fashionistas in attendance, the Dubai World Cup is more than a race — it’s a runway of its own. Gentlemen, take note — and let the style stakes begin!
