OUTFIT HACKS
Winter has well and truly arrived in Pakistan and with it, the official start of wedding season. With a whole host of invites stacking up and trendy fashion reigning supreme, Pakistani weddings are some of the most stunning, but we know firsthand: That doesn’t make choosing
Something Old, Something New If you are married and have only worn your bridal outfit on the big day, then make sure you wear it again. Traditionally, bridals are saved to be worn on the wedding of a close relative (siblings, cousins, etc) but there is no written rule about not wearing your bridal for the third time. You can always pair your bridal dupatta with a plain outfit or the shirt with another trouser/ lower. Single ladies, raid your mother’s closet for her vintage bridal and make it your own—again, same rules apply of mixing and matching.
what to wear any easier. After all, weddings take place through out the year here (pretty much) and you can’t always have a wardrobe of brand new, never-seen-before-on-Instagram outfits waiting for you so here’s our guide to repurposing worn outfits and making them new again!
Go To Cape Town We don’t mean literally go to Cape Town (although you’re welcome to) but invest in capes and coats. Yes, you read that right—the two functional wardrobe items aren’t just practical for outerwear but there is a huge trend of embellished capes and coats that make for perfect wedding wear. You can wear either on top of a plain outfit or just a coat on top of cigarette pants or a lehnga even. The same applies to embellished kimonos too—the fashion world is your oyster!
Saaree Not Sorry This one is a no-brainer. Sarees are the ideal outfit for any event throughout the year. Have a formal dinner to attend? Wear a saree. Got invited lastminute to a wedding? Wear a saree. A friend’s sleepover? Wear a saree and then change into pjs obviously! It can be any saree that you can get your hands on— that’s the beauty of this versatile item, it works for any occasion and looks elegant AF. Everyone and their mother has a saree so you’ll always have an outfit ready to be worn.
Hot And Heavy If you’re in possession of a ‘heavy’ aka worked/ embellished dupatta or shawl then all you need is a shirt and trouser with minimal work to complete your look. This not only looks 100% chic but it gives the impression of a brand new outfit! We’re going to be using this hack throughout the wedding season.
Suit Up When it comes to wearing suits, don’t think they are limited just to men. Eastern fashion has become so versatile and trendy that women have been wearing jumpsuits or matching separates (so it looks like a suit) to weddings too. We’ve seen lush velvet and silk ones heavily embellished that look fantastic and make it so much easier to walk around and mingle without having to worry about tripping over your lehnga or fussing with a dupatta.
