TAMASHEE AT LEVEL

 I've been living in UAE for almost 5 years now, and absolutely loving it. Adapted some of the cultures and traditions. Fascinated by the grandiose lifestyle that the City has to offer, beyond that the local heritage and modern era collides which is absolutely amazing how the People embrace it. 

Many of the older Emirati men prefer wearing the traditional Emirati clothes, such as the kandoora, an ankle-length white shirt woven from wool or cotton while many local women wear an abaya, a black over-garment covering most parts of the body. On an average a UAE male national would have up to 50 kanduras as they keep changing their clothing to ensure the dress being kept clean. This attire is particularly well-suited for the UAE's hot and dry climate. 

 Western-style clothing is also fairly popular, especially among the Emirati youth. Matching with their traditional dresses are footwear's that has unique style and design, in this modern age we calling it the sandals and there's one name in the heart of The Dubai Mall, Level Shoe District.

TAMASHEE, inspired by the Arabic words for walking and compatibility. Evolves traditional Arabian footwear to a fashionable product that appeals to you. They want you to look cool, to be unique and make sure you stand out! That’s why they created a footwear canvas that revolves around design and quality. They travel around the World to collaborate with the finest designers, pattern drafters and manufacturers of Europe and the Middle East. Through this colorful collaboration, the Tamashee brand came to life. 

 The Tamashee team has modernized a traditional sandal to make it compatible with today’s world, compatible with all dress types and simultaneously supporting a social cause that encourages compatibility. 

 The traditional vibes to it with a little twist in terms of different designs and colors are just irrevocably intertwined.  

 Adding Swarovski crystals and pearls to it, a touch of luxury indeed and gave more femininity, perfect for ladies who wanted to be comfy and stylishly savvy chic. 

 Not your ordinary pair of flat-forms, sandals, slippers or whatever you call it, Tamashee is not just a footwear, it represent the culture, preserves identity and living the beauty of colors in every aspect of life.  

 Built with pride and integrity, creativity and passion that is why its stands-out among the rest. Its been a great pleasure to meet the talented team behind Tamashee, no words can express how humbled I am to be part of their advocacy on preserving the culture and everything involves the identity of the City where I am right now.

It was a very stylish busy Wednesday for me at The Dubai, out and about Dubai Mall with meetings and events. Started with a very causal event at REPLAY Jeans>>> wearing a white shirt, blue trousers, a tie and a denim vest. And end the night with a very chic, sophisticated dapper look for the Grand Opening of Mulberry . 

Versatile style, and just a matter of mix and match, on the first outfit i throw on is the same white crisp shirt and pair of double monk strap shoes, by changing the pants and throwing on a awesome statement piece jacket you'll be able to create another look with such a staple. 

This dope jacket is incredibly catches the attention with the military inspired double pocket breast design on it, add a pocket square for another detail and throw on this grey trousers, and floral grey neck tie. Same shirt, same shoes and same belt and even the bag. And of course, i never ever leave the house without my latest addition to my watch collection, this brown alligator rose gold watch from #GuessOneToWatch 

What do you think of this look guys?
