Layer with Luxe
- 01 Feb - 07 Feb, 2025
Fashion in Pakistan has continually been a reflection of its rich tradition, background, and modern affects, and 2025 promises to carry on interesting changes. For years, Pakistani women’s fashion has been celebrated for its variety, mixing traditional elements with modern styles. These 12 months have been extraordinary in introducing modern designs, ambitious colour combinations, and sustainable practices into the fashion landscape. Here’s a look at what the fashion year has been all about.
Bold and Vibrant Colours Dominate the Scene
One of the standout functions of 2024 fashion has been the formidable and vibrant colouration palette. Bright colours together with mustard yellow, electric blue, deep magenta, and emerald comprised of a large part in collections throughout Pakistan. These colours lend a dynamic strength to traditional shararas, lehngas, and even kurtas, providing a clean and fascinating approach to casual and formal apparel.
Fusion of Traditional and Contemporary Silhouettes
This year has been great for fusion fashion – the seamless combination of traditional and modern-day designs. While the classic sharara and angrakha stays famous, new silhouettes inclusive of excessive-low hems, jumpsuits with ethnic embroidery, and asymmetrical cuts became a favourite among fashion enthusiasts. This fusion of east and west allows ladies to experiment with different looks, making each style more interesting and flexible.
Reviving Classic Embroidery and Handcrafts
One of the maximum treasured elements of Pakistani style is its embroidery and handcrafts. In 2024, we witnessed a resurgence of age-vintage strategies like zardozi, gota patti, replica paintings, and aari embroidery. Designers are now incorporating these complicated designs into contemporary clothes, presenting a rich tapestry of tradition and fashion.
Statement Sleeves and Layering
Statement sleeves have been a fashion statement for a few seasons, and they display no signs of slowing down in the year to come. Bell sleeves, ruffled sleeves, and puffed shoulders add a dramatic aura to both, casual and formal outfits. In addition to this, layering has grown to be a critical style declaration, with kurtas, vests, and jackets paired together to create a textured and dimensional look.
Luxurious Fabrics for Formal Wear
For formal occasions, the choice of fabric plays an important role. In 2024, pricey materials like velvet, silk, and brocade were key in bridal and festive wear. These luxurious fabrics, often adorned with embroidery, beads, or sequins, exude opulence and grandeur, making them perfect for weddings and special celebrations.
Accessorising with Bold Jewellery
No outfit is complete without good accessories, and 2024 has been all about making a statement with ambitious earrings. Chunky necklaces, oversized rings, and layered bracelets are critical for adding perfect finishing touches to any look. Artificial jewellery brands in Pakistan are also being revived, with kundan, polki, and vintage gold pieces making a comeback with style.
