Mem quote: **Hi Guys,
A friend on mine… moved to Pakistan to live with her husband who is an army officer, She came back to visit and when we all asked about the latest Fashion Trends - what was In and what was Out.. She said…
Chiken Kapra ( see thru ) with black underwear… and sleeveless dresses with very low necks was also was very much In!
She said the Modern trendy lady of Pakistan was wearing this…
How sick is that???/
Have you seen any of these so called trendy ladies in Pakistan?
Any COmments?**
Mem, t/ so called modern upper class non Lalukheti ppl

have always dressed quite fashionably imitating western trends. Women wore sleeveless in t/ 50s’ and still continue to wear t/ non traditional versions of shalwaar kameez today. But like I said it’s only t/ so called upper calss which barely consists of a percent or two of total Pakistani population. We cannot and should not generalize these trends. Not everybody goes around displaying t/ colour of thr undies in Pakistan - trust me!
Us women currently living in t/ West have this ugly habit of putting down our own in Pakistan, mainly to feel good about ourselves. How else our we going to justify going around “bay dupatta” in America/ England, wearing jeans, dresses and skirts etc.
I was thr quite recently and and have yet to see someone’s underwear!! Sleevless yes, among t/ upper class, modern women, but like I said quite rare in t/ non Lalukheti neighbourhoods of Defense and Clifton only!!
What would you say if I said I saw quite a few young girls wearing jeans in Pakistan?? Would that be okay w/ you or not??
Personally I think if we can wear jeans in t/ West, we should cut some slack to our Pakistani women folk back home and get off their backs!!
By t/ way, I personally think sleevless kameez and blouse (w/ a Sari ofcourse!) looks veryy smart, elegant and sophisticated, if one’s got t/ figure to carry it!!
p.s. Pls Spare me t/ religious fatwaas on sleeveless!
