When I was young I admired how polished Kuwaiti women appeared, with the right look for every occasion. I marvelled at how girls walked around Salmiya without a single hair out of place while my hair was constantly breaking free from the grip of the mighty Scrunchy.

A major part of living here is being aware of fashion, trends, and style because, let’s face it, there isn’t much else to do. The women put a lot of time, effort and money into achieving their particular look. I’m constantly blown away at the creativity a lot of them express through their clothes but when it comes down to it, what is Kuwaiti style?

Featured in the April issue of Al-Yaqza, Haleema Boland is a fashion inspiration to many Kuwaiti women. Many seek to mimic her make up tricks and personal style. I honestly never understood the appeal of Haleema Boland to the general Kuwaiti population. What is attractive about having that much make up pasted on your face? I think she has beautiful features, she just doesn’t need all that make up. Agree/Disagree? What do you think sums up Kuwait style?
