For many people in Pakistan, eastern styles are a big part of daily life. These traditional looks can also be very modern and stylish. So, in this blog, you will find tips on what to buy, how to style it, and where to spot a great menswear collection . Let’s dive in to see what is trending and how to shop smart!
Trendy Pieces
Most people think that spending too much on clothes can make you look better than others. But that is a misconception. Instead, it is always about knowing which pieces to pick and how to mix them.
1. Stylish Kurtas
In recent times, you will see kurtas that fit closer to the body. This gives a neat look without being too tight. Also, you might spot kurtas with small patterns on the neckline or sleeves. These small details make the kurta look more interesting. Also, don’t forget that you can pair a kurta with denim jeans. This mix of east and west can give a casual yet stylish result.
2. Modern Shalwar Kameez
In trendier versions, the kameez has a slimmer cut and sometimes a shorter length. Also, the shalwar can be changed to a narrower trouser known as “churidar.” This change makes the outfit look more fitted and modern.
In addition, you might see shalwar kameez in two or more colors. For example, a white kameez with black piping on the collar. Or a cream kameez with a dark waistcoat over it.
3. Waistcoats
Look for waistcoats that have a slim fit and end just above the hips. These usually have two or three buttons down the front. Some might have pocket details for a more refined look. Also, consider waistcoats in fabrics like silk blends, which give a soft shine and look more formal.
You can pick plain waistcoats or ones with subtle patterns. For example, a dark blue waistcoat with small lines or shapes can match a white kurta. Or, if you want more color, a burgundy vest could go with a cream kameez.
4. Trendy Sherwanis
Sherwanis are special long coats that men wear for weddings and big events. They often have buttons down the front and sometimes a stand-up collar. In modern picks, sherwanis can have simple stripes, lines, or small patterns around the collar. This keeps them from looking too old-fashioned.
5. Casual Shirts
Sometimes you want to look good but keep it simple. For such moments, try casual shirts that have an eastern feel. These might be regular button-down shirts, but made with traditional fabrics like khaddar or with small blocks of print from local weaving. You can find shirts with small embroidery on the collar or one small panel of patterned cloth on the chest.
Accessorising to Complete the Look
Accessories are small but powerful tools to complete your look. For eastern men’s wear, popular choices include:
- Traditional khussa or peshawari chappal.
- Belts and stoles to add more personality.
- A brooch or pocket square for a sophisticated touch.
- A classic branded watch.
Shopping Smart
Brands often announce flash sales on Facebook or Instagram. You might see deals on kurta-pajama sets, waistcoats, or even casual shirts inspired by eastern designs. Follow popular brands so you know when they drop a new collection. Also, sign up for newsletters to get alerts of sale events.
Moreover, check for sample sales or clearance sections. Sometimes, at the end of a season, stores put older stock on a big discount. You could get last season’s kurta at a lower price. Even if the fabric or pattern is not brand-new, you can still mix it with modern pieces. For example, a last-year kurta in a solid color can pair well with a new printed waistcoat.
In addition, be patient. If you do not have an event coming up soon, wait for big sale periods like Ramadan or Black Friday (yes, some local stores also follow this trend). During these times, discounts can be higher. Just be sure to check the quality before you buy. If something feels thin or the stitching looks loose, avoid it even if the price is tempting.
Conclusion
By picking key pieces like a well-fitted kurta, a smart shalwar kameez, a clean waistcoat, or a stylish sherwani, one can easily stand out from others. Also, accessory choices like sandals, watches, and shawls help complete the look. Remember, good style is about choosing the right pieces and caring for them.
