Rising Demand for Athleisure and Smart Casual
The surge in popularity of athleisure and smart casual wear is transforming the fashion scene in the UAE menswear sector. An increasing number of men are opting for multifunctional clothing that merges comfort with style facilitating smooth transitions between work, social outings, and leisure activities. For instance, in June 2025, Allen Solly launched its first exclusive store in Dubai, showcasing stylish menswear and chic womenswear. The store is located in City Center Deira features bold designs and comfortable apparel appealing to fashion-forward consumers. This marks a significant step in the brand's global expansion bringing Nottingham-inspired fashion to the Middle East. This shift mirrors the modern lifestyle trends where rigid dress codes are increasingly being superseded by adaptive, fashionable alternatives. Pieces such as stretch fabrics, slim joggers, polo tops, fitted chinos, and light blazers are becoming staples in daily outfits. These outfits are fashionable and also suit the climate of the region, providing ease of movement and breathability. Retailers are reacting to this shift by expanding their product offerings to match the changing demands of consumers. As comfort takes precedence without sacrificing style, this trend is significantly contributing to the UAE menswear market growth in both premium and mass-market segments.
E-Commerce & Digital Influence
The menswear market in the UAE is undergoing a significant transformation due to e-commerce and digital platforms, which are altering how consumers discover, assess, and buy fashion. With widespread internet accessibility and smartphone use, shopping online has become a key part of the purchasing experience. Social media, influencers, and targeted online advertisements are shaping male style preferences and boosting interest in popular menswear trends. Brands are harnessing visually engaging content and interactive campaigns to connect with fashion-savvy men. Additionally, features such as virtual fitting rooms, sizing guides, and rapid delivery services are improving the online shopping experience. E-commerce platforms are broadening access to both international and local brands while offering personalized and convenient options. For instance, in November 2024, Indian fashion brand Beyoung partnered with Noon.com to launch in the Middle East, targeting Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE. This move marks the start of Beyoung's global expansion plan, aiming to open 300 stores by 2027. As digital usage continues to rise, online and social media channels are anticipated to remain pivotal to sales and customer engagement, playing a crucial role in the growth and evolution of the UAE menswear sector.
