With only two weeks to go for Eid, Asna Azhar (29) is gearing up to scour Pakistani suits in Mumbai. The Mumbai-based fashion designer shares why these garments stand out for her: “Pakistani traditional clothing such as shalwar kameez and saree are famed for their bright colours, intricate designs and fancy embroidery. They`re usually made from premium materials like silk, chiffon and cotton, and are stitched to fit to the last inch.”

Pakistani suits, comprising a long tunic (kameez), loose-fitting pants (shalwar) and a scarf (dupatta), reflect the traditional fashion worn in the subcontinent. Renowned for their vibrant hues and distinctive designs, these ensembles are favoured by women for both casual and formal occasions. Now embraced globally, Pakistani style suits offer versatility and are available in various fabrics like organza, muslin, lawn, cotton and more.
