latest fashion: casual shalwaar kamiz

Guys, what is the latest fashions when it comes to casual shalwaar kamiz in pakistan at the moment? here in Birmingham the casual stuff being sold in the shops, is the same stuff that was being sold 2-3 years ago. i went into one place and asked for some Capris and a collar kamiz, the woman just looked at me as if i’d grown another head and said “the market here wont wear them”!!! i need some casual ones and am thinking of getting something stiched, any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

well she is rite though... because most ppl i know who r like the most trendist(spelling) n up to date in their fashion , wont been seen dead in them, and to be honest i havent seen them in birmingham or london...

Re: latest fashion: casual shalwaar kamiz

ban collars, long kameez, capri/trousers.... no chaaks and embroidery mostly on neck and sleeves. also motifs are really in....there is usually a motif on bottom right of the kameez along with beautiful matching printed dupatta w/ plain shalwars.

I think the problem with London/Brum is that they catch up late with Pakistani fashion trends......their fashion reflects the population, and it takes someone to wear something for it be caught on iyswim!

hahahahaha

dont worry gals.... not only people frm uk but also ppl frm canada takes so long to adopt new fashion that in pakistan its already out dated....

wat we usually do is observe people who just recently visited pakistand and see what they wear....

gives us some idea whats in fashion in pakistan lolsss
or wait till we plan a visit to pakistan...

sometimes i envy girls living in pakistan....

Do you mean trendy and up to date people won't wear the collar and capri fashion? What is the latest trend then?

HI, not sure what u mean by that, is that because they think its tooo old fashioned or bcoz they dont like the style? I personally really liked wearing capris over the summer in some lawn suits that my mum got me and i got some really lovely comments over them, its just that the stuff for winter available is pretty ugly.

Re: latest fashion: casual shalwaar kamiz

i think it depends on the social circle. i live in london and last year and this year there have been a bunch of weddings. everyone was up to date fashion wise, which i didn't expect. even saw some aunties in threads and motifs.

but yea, otherwise, people who think they are trendy are still wearing patiala shalwars and tiny kameezes.
