In 2023, we witnessed how pastel and earthy tones have taken centre stage. We predict that this trend will also continue to grow in 2024. Soft, soothing hues like dusty pinks, mint greens, and lavender are dominating both casual and formal wear collections. We believe in these colours, these colours exude a sense of calmness and serenity while remaining highly versatile and flattering for all skin tones.
Statement Sleeves and Ruffles
Statement sleeves and ruffles were quite a talk in 2023. Victorian and fluffy sleeves were brought back right from the 80’s and used to give graceful and classy vibes. From bell sleeves to bishop sleeves and cascading ruffles, these eye-catching details make appearances both in Eastern and Western Pakistani attire. They bring a touch of femininity and playfulness to the overall attire.
Minimalist Chic
We believe in the “less is more” philosophy and we are glad that it has entered the Pakistani fashion landscape as well. Minimalistic is most expected to make waves in future as well, with clean lines, monochromatic palettes, and understanding elegance taking centre stage. This trend distinguishes itself from the rather opulent and loud colours that Pakistan is known for. This minimalist approach is redefining Pakistani fashion by focusing on beauty and simplicity

This trend is a testament to the country’s open-minded approach to fashion, embracing diversity and celebrating it through clothing.
