The summer heat can be pretty aggressive in these parts, so we recommend bringing the good vibes inside with bold prints, loose fits and beach shorts.

Ronaldinho, a former two-time FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d’Or winner, is undeniably one of the greatest to ever grace the football pitch.

The recent recipient of the country’s coveted Golden Visa, Ronaldinho joined the team from Esquire Middle East for an indoor photoshoot that captured the vibes that the GOAT is bringing to the beach this season, as well as the looks he’ll surely be sporting if you see him around Dubai, having the time of his life as always.

Whether it’s by the pool or inside by the bar next to a nylon palm tree, free to take some style inspiration from the UAE’s favourite Brazilian star, which we certainly will.
