Pakistani dresses trends- 2017

Hello beauties!

I am back after a long time and today I am going to talk about some dress trends in Pakistan for the upcoming season. As we are transitioning from winter to spring the brands are launching new collections and I have noticed many trends from the 90’s are making to the rack again.  So today I thought of sharing three of my favorite trends from 90’s with you which are making a comeback.

Frill and bell sleeves:

Bell sleeves are the perfect way to make your casual lawn dresses playful and interesting.

 Flared pants:

Flared pants are all the rage internationally and our local brands are following the trend in their own style with these gharara pants. Culottes and boot cut pants are also keeping their popularity alive in this upcoming season.

Ghararas:

 Flared pants are trending in casual and semi-formal dresses but when it comes to formal wedding and bridal dress in 2017 a lot of women are choosing the traditional ghararas. I have always preferred lehngas over ghararas but now I am in love with traditionally embroidered ghararas and can't wait to get one for myself. Well, since the designer wear formal dresses are too expensive so I'll just search some tradition Pakistani clothes online to get some inspiration and will get a dress made for me from some local shop.

So that's it for today.

I'll be back soon till then take care...

Fabrics and colors for upcoming winter season...

Hello beauties!

It's that time of the year again when we can finally get a break from lawn and bright summery colors. Winters are fast approaching and all I see on my Instagram and Facebook feeds are winter collections of various brands. The perfect pictures of models flaunting these dresses make me go head over heels for them but of course my bank account does not allow me to buy every single piece I see so I need to make choices.
The plethora of fabrics and wide variety of colors make it difficult to decide what should I invest in but asking myself these few questions before buying clothes help me get out of this dilemma.
1- How often can I wear this piece?
2- Does the color and cut flatter me?
3-  Is the dress versatile? Can I dress it up or down for different occasions and places?
4- Is the price reasonable? ( Cost Vs benefit analysis )
5- Do I already have any similar piece in my wardrobe?

Today I am going to talk about some of my favorite color and fabric trends in ladies dresses that I prefer wearing in winters...

For everyday wear in not so cold winter of Karachi cotton, linen and Khaddar suits are perfect but the satin collections of various brands can also be worn on a daily basis if accessorized appropriately.

The lightweight chiffon is generally considered a spring/summer only fabric but on formal evening events like weddings nothing looks better than a chiffon dress even in winters. You just need a heavier warmer fabric beneath the chiffon overlay of a dress and it will be good enough for winters. The best thing about chiffon suits is you can dress them up or down for any occasion with appropriate accessories.

Everyone starts wearing dark colors as soon as the winters approach, yes they look good but this winter I think we all should leave the blacks, dark blues, maroons and purples and experiment with some different colors. How about trying on some bright hues such as forest green, Mustard yellow or rust brown?

Metallic Fall/ Winter trend...

Hello beauties! 
I am back and today I am going to talk about a fashion trend i.e. the trend of wearing metallic.
The metallic looks are all the rage on the runways all over the world for this upcoming winter season. The skirts, blazers and dresses all look gorgeous on models when they walk on the runways but no matter how much I love this trend or how religiously I follow trends, this one is way too bold for me so I decided to think of some ways of incorporating this metallic trend into my wardrobe. These are my ways in which I think I can incorporate this trend in my wardrobe without looking overdone. So have a look at some of my picks and get some inspiration…

Metallic shoes:
I haven’t seen metallic shoes on any Pakistani brands yet and the ones available here are really expensive so I am looking for some affordable imported alternatives at local stores.
I have also seen some really good metallic shoes at aliexpress.
