Do NOT be alarmed if you happen to see a whole bunch of preppy youngsters walking around with their brightly coloured name-brand tracksuits, bucket hats and bomber jackets!! It ain’t the hip-hop apocalypse, it’s just Sole DXB y’all! Just the biggest festival of contemporary culture in Dubai.

A festival that centres everything from – art to sport and fashion – around the hip-hop culture is bound to get a lil wack in terms of fashion. So, here’s celebrating some of the epic fashion statements made at the festival thus far.

12. OMG! Lovin that basic hip attitude

A basic over-sized sweater paired with some kickass matching sneakers can never do no wrong.

10. Leave it to the professionals to set a trend!

Big Hass, Vivian Divine and Raja Kumari graced Sole DXB with their mega personalities and iconic styles. From Big Hass’s signature bandana to Raja Kumari’s chic braids paired with chained croakies… urmm no one pull-off hip hop than the legends themselves.

Bumped into @VivianDivine & @TheRajaKumari at @SoleDxb 💙💙 love these guys!

Damn! If you mix the 70s and 80s you get THIS. Biker shorts, leather jacket and that slayin’ pile bucket hat, nods all the way.

7. YAAAS! Is anyone else a lil starstruck by this stylish duo?

Talk about bringing on your a-game. If your eyes haven’t scanned down to their shoes yet then just take a moment and feast your eyes on those groovy sneakers.
