Iqra walks in with a tray in hands

Iqra- Garma garam chai hazir hai!

Alina - Lao mein daal deti hun.

Sadaf - Ooh, Iqra do you have those round biscuits with holes in them.

Fariha - Well, of course she does! Uske bagair kabhi chai pilayi hai hume, bhala?

Iqra - Yeah. 😆 They're right here. [passes plate to Sadaf, who gobbles three down right away] So, mere aane seh pehle kya baatein chal rahi thi?

Fariha - Woh, kapron ki baatein chal rahin thi. There's like 3 shaadi's I have to attend this year aur pehne ko kuch nahi! My sister has the prettiest Sharara!

Alina - Aur Eid abhi abhi gayi hai and there's still events going around, soch rahi thi kuch manga loon.

Sadaf - I need clothes to wear at home! Sab kuch chubta hai! [rubs arm]

Iqra - Mein jab Dubai gayi thi toh sabse ache mujhe J. (Junaid Jamshed) keh kapre lage the! I mean there soft, modern, sober, and long lasting! And super affordable! And they have all kinds of Pakistani clothes! Mere Bhai ne Bari Eid ki sherwani udhar seh hi li hai.

Fariha - And have you guys been watching the Ramazaan programs? Raza Haroon and Zara Ahmed had these amazing Pishwas's for giveaway. Saraa won one!

Alina - Yeah, I saw that! And Porsha ki lawn-ein kitni chali hui hain!

Sadaf - Haan, I saw those at the market the other day and they're so nice.

Alina - But super pricy!

Fariha - Exactly!

Iqra - [giggles] Ammi is obsessed with Breeze, she saw the out-of-town-wale-doctor ki biwi wearing it the other day and she's making me find the exact same suit online!!

Sadaf - I saw her too! Lekin maana parega kya kaam tha! Sindhi karhai and everything.

Fariha - Pakistani kapron jaisi toh koi baat hi nahi!

Alina - Bilkul! There's nothing like Shalwar Kameez! And the quality A-1!

Sadaf - Isiliye, aaj, we will be going through the clothing of Pakistan! From home wear, to wedding clothes! Sab kuch idhar hi milega! 😉

If you're wondering what's going on in the script above, then that's because you don't know how many different types of designers we have in Pakistan. It is insane that when there is a new season, then there is pre and post that season collection as well. So, we [the passionate Pakistani's] tried to portray a chai ki mulaqaat and the ladies talking in their usual way.

Turn your volume up and listen to a mix of the different cultures instruments that are played all over Pakistan.

Pakistan's Men wear includes the traditional shalwar kameez with accessories like waistcoat, shawls, achkan, topi, dhoti, pagri, khussa, chappal or churidar pajama. Western dressing like jeans and t-shirts, trousers and pant with a coat are more common in cities.

History of Shalwar Kameez:

This outfit is believed to originate with the Turkic-Iranian horse riding steppe peoples of Central Asia. A number of these tribes converted to Islam. Starting in the 12th century, a series of raids and invasions established Islamic Turkic-Iranian rule the Delhi sultanate and later the Moghul empire, over much of what is now northern India and Pakistan. Fashion followed rule, and the salwar suit become popular throughout the area.

Other Accessories include:

Dhoti is usually used by villagers. (From Indus Culture)

Khussa and Churidar pajama is common in both areas. (Nawab Culture)

Achkan is used in Karachi and on some special occassions. (Punjabi Culture)

Jinnah Cap also called Karakul, Fez also called Rumi Topi and Taqiyah (cap) is also used.

In urban areas the most common used dresses are jeans and t-shirts and pant coats.

A dress remains beautiful when it is representing it's culture, and in Pakistani dressing, religion plays a very important role and the more it covers is considered to be the best for both men and women.

There are several types of dresses that the Women and Men in Pakistan wear for special occasions such as; Nikkah, Baraat, Mangni and Valima. Here we give an outline on the basic ones:

Sherwani

Ah, the Sherwani! This lined, coat like garment is usually made of heavy fabrics. It is part of Pakistan's national dress and was nationally associated with the Muslim aristocracy in history. Like the Urdu language, it also became a symbol of Muslim nobility. It is worn over the Kurta and Churidar, Khara pajama, or shalwar. It has become almost customary for grooms to wear a sherwani on their wedding almost always accompanied by a turban. Wedding sherwanis usually tend to have more embroidered collars and cuffs.

Gharara

Gharara is a traditional Pakistani dress, which consists of kurti, dupatta and wide-legged stylish pants, that reaches the knee, and then they flare out dramatically. Over the time ghararas have gone through various transition from traditional to contemporary ones or present a blend of both.

If we look into the history of gharara, they originated during the era of Nawab in Lucknow. Muslim women of noble families in 19th and 20th century used to wear it. Gradually gharara trend declined and was replaced by sarees and shalwar kameez.

Sharara

sharara

Sharara gained recognition with the invasion of Mughals in India. It was a common attire of begums and women who belonged to the royal classes during the period of the Mughal Sultanate. Since then it has been adorned by Pakistani women and in particular, Muslim women all over the world.

In Punjab, women also wear "Lacha" or "dhoti" with long colorful shirts and "Chunri" a kind of Dupatta, they also wear "Paranda" in hair. Laacha is worn in Eastern part of the country, its a dress which resembles with dhoti from its lower part.

While men, prefer dhoti which is a rectangular piece of un-stitched cloth, usually around 15 ft. long, wrapped around the waist and the legs and knotted at the waist, resembling a long skirt. In Pakistan, dhotis are commonly worn by men as a traditional dress in the Punjab province.

A dhoti is tied in a way, that is considered to be quite complex but here we show how it's to be worn in 6 easy steps:

Farshi Pajama

Farshi Pajama is a woman's dress that was worn between late 17th and early 20th centuries in Muslim courts by royalty and ladies from privileged classes. The complete outfit consists of three basic parts - The Kurta, the dupatta which is an essential piece of cloth in Pakistan wear covering the head and bossom, and the third and most important, the farshi pajama, which is a flowing two legged skirt held by drawstrings.The farshi pajama is often called Farshi Gharara. The confusion is said to be because of the Farshi Pajama's similarity with the Gharara.

Pishwas

The Pishwas, also known as "frock type" is greatly similar with Anarkali Suits; both, are long and flowy. The difference being they are loosely fitted, longer, usually full sleeved, more "tunic" type and the pleats are either placed much higher or much lower. They are worn with churidar pajama, shalwar or trousers. Modern influences have incorporated the shalwar kameez, high lows, and capri's to alter the Pishwas. Worn on all occasions, wedding rasms, Eid as well as home wear it's a traditional favourite.

Hijaab

The hijaab is a veil that covers the head and chest, which is worn by Muslim females beyond the age of puberty in the presence of males. In Pakistan the Duppata is usually used as a hijaab. Or a shawl is wrapped to cover the head.

Topi

While a topi, not commonly worn any longer other than when it's time for namaaz (prayers) is to cover the head of the males. This is not a compulsion whereas a Hjaab is.
