Smart tips, must-buy deals: How to shop at Dubai Summer Surprises like a pro
Sales shopping is absolutely on trend this season. Not only does the Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) mascot Modesh dress exclusively in this season's hottest hue, yellow, but years of price increases at luxury brands have started to result in consumers laying down their credit cards and refusing to kowtow to escalating price tags. Last month, Chanel announced a 4.3 per cent fall in sales, its first decline since 2020, a period that also the saw the price of its iconic Classic Flap Bag almost double in price. A Medium Chanel Classic Flap Bag now costs approximately Dh42,720, up from around Dhs18,000 in 2016. Similar revenue declines have been seen across legacy luxury brands, with Louis Vuitton and Dior owner LVMH reporting a five per cent drop in sales of fashion and leather goods in the first quarter of 2025. Admittedly, Dubai and the wider GCC are bucking this trend. Chalhoub Group reported luxury fashion sales across the region have increased 11 per cent in the first three months of 2025, far outpacing global performance. But in a region where shopping is a national sport, particularly in the summer months when airconditioned malls offer welcome respite from the heat, we are wired to hunt down the best bargains, not at any cost, but at the chicest cost. However, with discounts of up to 90 per cent promised across DSS, which kicks off next weekend on June 27, it can be tempting to snap up ill-considered styles, just because the price drop is so steep. So, because girl math can quickly spiral when faced with a slashed-to-the-navel price tag, here are my rules for a successful DSS shopping spree. PREP YOUR WISH LIST If you wouldn't pay full price, it's not a bargain. Create wish lists in your favourite stores' websites throughout the season, adding only pieces you would pay full price for (were it not for school fees, rent, kids' activities etc devouring your budget). Then, when discounts are applied, you can easily identify the styles that deserve a share of your wallet. You'll also be alerted if a sold-out piece in your size comes back into stock. It might be 80 per cent off. Likewise, become WhatsApp friends with shop floor sales associates. Dubai's high-end stores offer exemplary customer service and staff will often be happy to send you a message when items you love go on sale. BUY BETTER… Buy less, buy better is a mantra often repeated, yet hard to stick to in the proliferation of disposable fast fashion, tempting social media ads, and price polarisation as the cheap gets cheaper — even in the face of tariffs — and the expensive gets even more out of reach (to wit, the Chanel Flap Bag mentioned above). Don't use sale periods as your chance to stock up on arm loads of already cheap clothes that won't bring you lasting joy. Instead, one or two incredible, well-made, thoughtful pieces that you'll wear, love and feel special in, from brands you wouldn't normally be able to afford, is the goal. No Labubu required. … AND BUTTER (YELLOW) One trend I will be buying into on sale is a fashion secret long known by the face of DSS. Yellow. Modesh has been wearing it since 1997. Notoriously tricky to get right, leave acid brights to cartoon characters such as Modesh, his sidekick Dana, SpongeBob et al. A soft, creamy butter shade that recalls dappled sunlight offers a contemporary take on summer pastels. If you are drawn to a bright yellow, I like it for an unexpected twist on formalwear, such as the Roksanda taffeta dress shown here. Like a magpie, I am without fail drawn to the glamorous allure of evening wear, and because of its higher starting price tag, DSS discounts appear even more tempting. Ironically, I also resent leaving the house after 7pm. A dichotomy that leaves me with a wardrobe full of (heavily discounted) gowns and little opportunity to wear them. If you too are tempted by evening wear, look for timeless silhouettes with a contemporary twist and a classic palette that will be relevant five, 10 years from now. Try Turkish brand The New Arrivals by İlkyaz Özel, and Lebanese brand Monot. And if you'd rather spend your evenings with Netflix and Deliveroo, invest in a pair of luxe Eberjey PJs instead. GOOD JEANS Denim is the trend that never dies. Pre-sale, identify your dream denim brand, fit and finish and strike when the price gets reduced. Department stores such as Harvey Nichols, Bloomingdale's and That Concept Store offer a broad range of brands under one roof to compare and contrast. Area's party jeans — with crystal-trimmed cut-outs — are brilliant, but expensive. For everyday denim, I rate Agolde and L'Agence for classic straight-leg fits, and Citizens of Humanity for a more directional horseshoe leg. A touch of stretch and a lightweight fabric is far more suited to a UAE summer than rigid, heavyweight denim. Finally, the reason celebs look so good in their jeans? Tailoring. A department store will do this for you or you can visit your local tailor. Most of my purchases are finessed by Hazel and her team at Thread Up on Wasl Road. WHAT WOULD J-LO DO? As a woman in my mid-40s I see a big divide among women my age as we approach middle age. Like our mums before us, we inexorably revert to high street heavyweights, such as Marks and Spencer and Next, with their elastic waistbands, crease-free fabrics and stain-concealing prints. I have nothing against M&S and Next, per se (the sheets and underwear are really good), but we have so much more choice than our mothers. My yardstick is 55-year-old Jennifer Lopez; if I can't imagine her wearing it, I'll pass. In the UK, disruptor brands such as Me + Em and Holland Cooper have quietly moved the dial around how women over 40 'should' dress, combining the practicality of an M&S staple with sleek styling that feels elegant and expensive. I also rate Next-owned Reiss's Atelier line, which launched two years ago and bridges high street and designer. The fabrics are unparalleled, and come with a price-tag to match. I'll be stocking up when they go on sale this summer. Race you to the 'Alex' utility jacket.

Weekly deals roundup: Galaxy S25 Edge, S25 Ultra, Motorola Razr, and so many more top-notch offers
Who wants a premium foldable device at a hefty discount? How about a high-end non-foldable Android phone at an unbeatable price? A massively marked-down tablet with mid-range specifications? One of the greatest iPads around? A feature-packed and yet budget-friendly smartwatch for your Android handset? A state-of-the-art pair of noise-cancelling wireless earbuds? All of that stuff... and more is in the spotlight in our latest week-ending collection of top mobile tech deals and steals from across the web, where you'll be able to find both familiar offers revived by popular US retailers like Amazon and Best Buy and all-new or better-than-ever promotions available in the same places, as well as a couple of others. Without further ado, I give you... 5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor, 6.9-Inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X Display with 3120 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Corning Gorilla Armor 2 Protection, 200 + 10 + 50 + 50MP Quad Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, 5,000mAh Battery with 45W Wired and 15W Wireless Charging Support, Galaxy AI, S Pen Included, Multiple Color Options Buy at Amazon 5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor, 6.7-Inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X Display with 3120 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 Protection, Android 15, 200 + 12MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, 3,900mAh Battery with 25W Charging Support, Galaxy AI, Titanium Construction, Two Color Options Buy at Amazon 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, 6.9-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2640 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 4-Inch LTPO AMOLED Cover Screen with 1272 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Support, IP48 Water and Dust Resistance, Titanium-Reinforced Hinge, 50 + 50MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Front-Facing Camera, 4,000mAh Battery, 45W Wired and 15W Wireless Charging Capabilities, Hot Pink Color Buy at Amazon Yes, the razor-thin Galaxy S25 Edge is on sale today at an even bigger discount than earlier this week, going down to a simply irresistible price with 512GB storage. Of course, if you care more about things like battery life, camera versatility, and S Pen convenience than a super-slim profile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is clearly a smarter choice at a pretty hard-to-beat discount of its own in an identical storage variant. Incredibly enough, the Motorola Razr Plus (2025) foldable is currently more affordable than both the S25 Ultra and S25 Edge (and even the S25 Plus and "vanilla" Galaxy S25), at least in a love-it-or-hate-it "Hot Pink" colorway that's somehow marked down by a whopping $300 from a $999.99 list price with no special requirements. $250 off (45%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 6.6-Inch P-OLED Display with 2400 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 Processor, 50 + 13MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Front-Facing Camera, 5,000mAh Battery with 68W Wired and 15W Wireless Charging Support, Vegan Leather Finish, Midnight Blue Color Buy at BestBuy $200 off (29%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, MediaTek Dimensity 7300X Processor, 6.9-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2640 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 3.6-Inch AMOLED External Screen with 1066 x 1056 Pixel Resolution, 50 + 13MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Single Selfie Snapper, 4,200mAh Battery with 30W Charging Capabilities, Two Color Options Buy at BestBuy 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, 6.78-Inch AMOLED Display with 2780 x 1264 Pixel Resolution, 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, and Up to 4500 Nits of Peak Brightness, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 50 + 50 + 8MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 16MP Front-Facing Camera, 6,000mAh Battery, 80W Charging Support, Nebula Noir and Astral Trail Color Options, Free $100 Gift Card Included Buy at BestBuy $250 off (28%) 5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 6.82-Inch LTPO AMOLED Display with 3168 x 1440 Pixel Resolution, 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, and 4500 Nits Peak Brightness, 50 + 64 + 48MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Selfie Shooter, 5,400mAh Battery with 80W Wired and 50W Wireless Charging Capabilities, Flowy Emerald Color Buy at BestBuy $300 off (30%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Processor, 6.9-Inch Main Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2640 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 4-Inch Secondary LTPO AMOLED Screen with 1272 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Support, 50 + 50MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Front-Facing Camera, 4,000mAh Battery with 45W Charging Capabilities, Vegan Leather Finish, Spring Green and Midnight Blue Color Options Buy at BestBuy 5G, Unlocked, 128GB Storage, 16GB RAM, Android 14, Google Tensor G4 Processor, 6.8-Inch LTPO OLED Display with 2992 x 1344 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 50 + 48 +48MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 42MP Front-Facing Camera, Gemini Integration, 5,060mAh Battery, Obsidian Color Buy at Amazon 5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 7-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2912 x 1224 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 4-Inch Secondary LTPO AMOLED Panel with 1272 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Capabilities, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Processor, 16GB RAM, Android 15, 50 + 50MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 50MP Single Front-Facing Camera, Dual Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos Technology, 4,700mAh Battery, 68W Wired Charging, 30W Wireless Charging, Four Color Options Buy at Amazon Obviously, the aforementioned Razr Plus (2025) is not the best foldable money can buy in 2025, but the Razr Ultra (2025) might be just that, both before and after Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 come out in a few weeks. Motorola's ultra-high-end flip phone is sold by Amazon at an unrivaled discount in a 512GB storage configuration, but naturally, that's not enough to make the brand-new Snapdragon 8 Elite powerhouse truly affordable. And that's where the Motorola Razr (2024) and Razr Plus (2024) come in at $200 and $300 off their regular prices respectively, while the non-foldable mid-range Motorola Edge (2024) is ideal for the most cash-strapped Android users around at only $299.99 at Best Buy with no strings attached. Not a fan of Motorola devices... or Samsung Galaxy handsets? Then you might want to consider last year's OnePlus 12 super-flagship, this year's budget-friendly OnePlus 13R powerhouse, and Google's jumbo-sized Pixel 9 Pro XL at their latest discounts. I'm not going to lie, the latter phone has been available at even lower prices a few times before. But the OnePlus 13R is pretty difficult to turn down with a $100 Best Buy gift card bundled in, and the OnePlus 12 could be discontinued in the near future, warranting a little attention today at $650 instead of $900 with a generous 16GB RAM count and 512 gigs of internal storage space. $40 off (20%) Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 4GB RAM, 10.1-Inch IPS Screen with 1920 x 1200 Pixel Resolution, Android 14, Two Guaranteed OS Updates, MediaTek Helio G85 Processor, 5,100mAh Battery, 15W Charging Support, 8MP Rear-Facing Camera, 5MP Front-Facing Camera, All-Metal Design, Polar Blue Color Buy at Lenovo $93 off (24%) Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 12.7-Inch LCD Screen with 2944 x 1840 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Android 14, MediaTek Dimensity 8300 Processor, 10,200mAh Battery, 45W Charging Support, Quad JBL Speakers with Dolby Atmos, 13MP Rear-Facing Camera, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, Luna Grey Color, Lenovo Tab Pen Plus Included, TABLETSAVE E-Coupon Required Buy at Lenovo Wi-Fi Only, 128GB Storage, 8GB RAM, 10.9-Inch IPS LCD Screen with 2304 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 90Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Samsung Exynos 1580 Processor, Android 15 with One UI 7, Galaxy AI, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, 8,000mAh Battery, 45W Charging, 13MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, microSD Card Slot, Dual Speakers with AKG Technology, Three Color Options, S Pen Included, US Version, Two-Year Manufacturer Warranty Buy at Amazon $100 off (18%) 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 8.8-Inch LTPS Display with 2560 x 1600 Pixel Resolution and 165Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Android 14, 6,550mAh Battery, 65W Charging, Two Superlinear Speakers with Stereo Audio and Dual X-Axis Haptics, 13 + 2MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 8MP Front-Facing Camera, ColdFront Vapor Chamber Tech, Eclipse Black Color, Folio Case and Rapid Charge Adapter Included Buy at Lenovo 128GB Storage, Wi-Fi Only, Apple M3 Processor, Liquid Retina IPS LCD Screen with 2732 x 2048 Pixel Resolution, 12MP Rear-Facing Camera, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, Top-Mounted Fingerprint Scanner, All-Day Battery Life, Landscape Stereo Speakers, Two Microphones, USB Type-C Port, Space Gray Color Buy at Amazon Depending on your budget, it shouldn't be too hard to choose between the dirt-cheap Lenovo Tab (now cheaper than ever), the slightly costlier and significantly higher-end Lenovo Idea Tab Pro with a massive 12.7-inch screen in tow and a bundled stylus, and the even pricier but still far from prohibitive hardcore gamer-friendly Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 with a compact 8.8-inch display and ultra-advanced cooling technology. But what if you don't like Lenovo gear... for whatever reason (like sub-par long-term software support)? Well, that's what Samsung's brand-new Galaxy Tab S10 FE mid-ranger is for (with a built-in pen of its own), not to mention the super-powerful and almost shockingly affordable 13-inch iPad Air (2025) with an Apple M3 processor under its hood. Now that makes your choice a lot tougher, although at the end of the day, it still all comes down to how much you're willing to pay for your next tablet. 40mm, GPS, 4G LTE, Bluetooth, Wear OS, 1.2-Inch Super AMOLED Display with 396 x 396 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal Glass, 5 ATM Water Resistance, ECG, Heart Rate Monitor, Fall Detection, Sleep Coaching, Body Composition, Three Color Options, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty Included Buy at Amazon GPS, Bluetooth, Aluminum Case, 1.3-Inch AMOLED Display with 432 x 432 Pixel Resolution, Sapphire Crystal, AI Smartwatch with Energy Score, Heart Rate Monitor, Sleep Tracking, Wear OS, 300mAh Battery, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage, Green and Cream Colors, US Version, 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty Included Buy at Amazon I'm sorry, iPhone users, I simply haven't been able to find any decent Apple Watch offers to recommend this week. Not with the Android-exclusive 4G LTE-enabled Galaxy Watch FE and GPS-only Galaxy Watch 7 available at the same phenomenal price after hefty new discounts of $50 and $100 respectively. So which of the two impressively affordable Samsung smartwatches on sale at special prices right now should Android smartphone owners choose? Frankly, I'd get both of them, keep one for myself, and gift the other to my better half next Christmas. I know it's only summer, but you can never be too prepared, right? True Wireless Earbuds with Android and iOS Compatibility, Custom Acoustic Architecture for Powerful Sound with Full Range and Clarity, Dual-Layer Drivers for Minimal Distortion, Class 1 Bluetooth Connectivity, Up to 18 Hours of Battery Life, Fast Fuel Support, Carrying Case Included, Three Color Options Buy at Amazon True Wireless Earbuds with USB-C Charging Case, Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking, Apple H2 Chip, Voice Isolation, Adaptive EQ, Bluetooth 5.3, Automatic Switching, IP54 Water and Dust Resistance, Up to 5 Hours of Listening Time, Up to 30 Hours of Total Battery Life Buy at Amazon True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, IPX4 Water Resistance, Android and iOS Compatibility, Up to 8 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, 24 Hours Combined Battery Life with Charging Case, Multiple Color Options Buy at Amazon True Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Apple H2 Chip, Adaptive Transparency, Personalized Spatial Audio, USB-C MagSafe Charging Case, Up to 30 Hours of Battery Life, IPX4 Water Resistance, White Buy at Amazon True Wireless Earbuds with Secure Fit Earhooks, Active Noise Cancellation, Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking, Transparency Mode, Adaptive EQ, Apple H2 Chip, Heart Rate Monitoring for Workouts, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 10 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, Up to 45 Hours of Total Battery Life with Wireless Charging Case, Android and iOS Compatibility, Four Color Options Buy at Amazon Yes, you're technically looking at five Apple-made products here, but that doesn't make this list any less diverse and generous than the above collection of top smartphone and tablet deals available this week. That's because the Beats Solo Buds, Studio Buds, and Powerbeats Pro 2 are all compatible with both Android handsets and iPhones, and each model has a slightly different target audience. Then you've got the non-noise-cancelling AirPods 4 and the high-end AirPods Pro 2, which might just be the best wireless earbuds an iPhone user can buy at the time of this writing. Especially at those huge new discounts. Secure your connection now at a bargain price! We may earn a commission if you make a purchase This offer is not available in your area.

6 SUVs That Will Have Massive Price Drops in the Summer of 2025
For SUV shoppers, summer 2025 will be the perfect time to find deep discounts, generous incentives and excellent financing on both electric and gas-powered models. Lauren Fix, automotive expert at Car Coach Reports, said this trend is being driven by inventory surpluses, shifting consumer preferences and new tariff policies that are forcing automakers to rethink pricing. Discover More: Try This: Recently, we've seen Ford offer aggressive discounting as the manufacturer prioritizes U.S. production and tries to clear dealer lots, per USA Today report. Electric vehicles and luxury SUVs are especially vulnerable, as demand softens and competition heats up in both the compact and high-end markets. According to Fix, buyers should expect discounts ranging from $3,000 to $15,000 off MSRP, especially if they shop in June or July and compare dealership offers. This summer's market conditions offer a rare chance to score a premium SUV at a much lower price. The Porsche Macan EV, which debuted with high expectations, is now facing sluggish demand and growing inventory at dealerships. According to Edmunds, the 2025 Macan Electric starts at $75,300, but dealers are already offering discounts of $10,000 to $15,000 to move unsold models. Motorauthority also reports that the new rear-wheel-drive base Macan EV is cheaper than last year's entry-level model, reflecting the pressure on Porsche to stay competitive. Buyers interested in a luxury electric SUV will find this summer an excellent time to negotiate a deal, especially as more affordable and updated EVs hit the market. Trending Now: The Alfa Romeo Stelvio, once a standout in the luxury SUV segment, is now among the fastest-depreciating vehicles in its class. 'The Stelvio's steep 67% depreciation makes it a bargain, with cuts up to $12,000 as dealers clear out inventory,' according to CarEdge. The site notes the Stelvio loses about 67% of its value within five years, with a five-year resale value of just $18,957. Shoppers looking for a European luxury SUV can expect some of the steepest price cuts on the Stelvio this summer, making it a bargain for those willing to accept higher long-term depreciation. The Chevrolet Blazer EV, another electric SUV facing stiff competition and slow sales, is likely to be heavily discounted in the coming months. 'Dealers are motivated to offer $5,000 to $10,000 off MSRP to move unsold Blazer EVs,' Fix said. As automakers deal with high inventory and tariff pressures, buyers should monitor dealership promotions and be ready to negotiate. This summer presents a unique chance to get a high-tech electric SUV at a substantial discount. Ford's Mustang Mach-E, a key player in the electric SUV market, is experiencing excess inventory and slow sales in 2025. 'Ford's Mustang Mach-E faces excess inventory, driving discounts of $5,000 to $10,000, especially on 2024 models,' Fix shared. Ford Authority reports that Ford has launched an employee pricing program for everyone, offering nationwide discounts on both 2024 and 2025 Mach-E models. These incentives, which can total $5,000 to $10,000 off MSRP, are available through July and include additional perks like complimentary home chargers. The Volvo XC90, a mainstay in the luxury SUV market, is expected to see significant price drops as dealers clear out older models ahead of a refresh. Car and Driver reports that the 2025 XC90 starts at $58,695, but local dealers are discounting current inventory by $7,000 to $12,000 to make room for the updated version. Buyers can expect additional incentives and low financing rates, especially on the outgoing model, making this summer a great time to buy a luxury SUV with a reputation for safety and reliability. The Ford Escape, a popular compact SUV, is also seeing major price reductions as the 2025 model year approaches. According to CarBuzz, the 2025 Escape is cheaper than the 2024 version, with price cuts starting at $1,395 on the base trim and up to $2,100 for the plug-in hybrid. Dealers are offering additional discounts of $3,000 to $6,000 to clear out remaining 2024 inventory, especially as demand for compact SUVs slows. Buyers interested in an affordable, fuel-efficient SUV will find the Escape especially attractive this summer, with deep discounts and incentives available.
