What is obvious in Pakistani Semi-formal and formal outfits and its latest trends is their adherence to fusion fashion. We can see a beautiful blend of both eastern and western wear and how it has drastically changed Pakistani Fashion and Designer wear. Let’s discuss the trends that have emerged this year:
Combination of traditional and contemporary fashion
Fusion wear is on the rise with cuts and stitching that reflect modern wear. Traditional Outfits like salwar kameez and kurta pajama have been redesigned into contemporary wear through different techniques. Asymmetrical hemlines, minimalist designs and contemporary embellishments create classic yet modern outfits that are a statement on their own. Pakistani Party and Formal Wear are meant to be bold and chic and the combination makes it a point of interest for many designers.
Minimalism on the peak
Minimalism is on the rise with pastels and gray and beige colors being worn and loved all over the country. Pakistani Party Wear has become all about minimalist embroidery, metallic threadwork and simple motifs. Less is more in today’s fashion industry, and being minimalist is the new chic. Every occasion calls for a different kind of clothing, but being minimalist is the new trendy. You can never go wrong with a pastel, lightly embellished dress for an occasion.
Bold, Flamboyant Outfits
As the trend of minimalism and pastels is on the peak, we also see the use of bold colors in Party Wear Dresses. Striking colors can bring any dull outfit to life, and one can wear a minimalist outfit that has an eye-catching color. Minimalism has less to do with the color of the outfit and more with the designs and intricacies that adorn the outfit. Bold outfits that stand out in the crowd are very in-trend and loved by many people.
Ethical Production Practices
With the rise in sustainable production and creating a healthier, safer environment for everyone, it is important that your clothing brand aligns with it. Labor rights and the misuse of any natural or human resource can subject your brand to extreme backlash and cancel culture. It has always been important to adhere to ethical practices, but in this era of social media word tends to get out pretty fast. Production as well as elimination of waste material requires responsibility and alignment to rules and regulations. Use of organic fabrics and ethical practices is crucial in 2024.
The comeback of traditional designs
Cultural designs like Sindhi Mirror Work, Punjab Phulkari are all trending again. You can see fusion tops with conventional embroidery or embellishments that are fairly common among the younger masses. Traditional Embroidery is making a strong comeback and is being embraced by the masses. Everyone loves a good embroidered kurta. Minimalism has also made its way into embroidery as well. Party Wear outfits are mostly adorned with thread work on the necklines, cuffs and borders.
Prominent sleeves and necklines
There are a few elements that draw the line between casual wear and party wear and designers are finding creative ways to do so. Statement sleeves are in trend again which include puffy sleeves, embroidered sleeves and bell sleeves. They inculcate character and sophistication to any simple outfit and can connect it to the traditional spirit that people demand in their Pakistani Outfits. A hint of tradition and culture in your outfit connects you to the true essence of your culture.
Delicate embellishments and embroidery
Party wear these days can be seen adorned with dainty embellishment and embroidery. Threadwork, needlework, motifs and mirror work are all in trend and become the center of attention for any outfit. Outfits like these give off a sophisticated and cultural vibe to any outfit and add a hint of glamor to a simple outfit.
Chikankari Embroidery
