Remember those fluffy sleeves your mum would wear during the late eighties? or the extremely loose and long kameez during the nineties? The national dress of Pakistan has gone through so many changes over the years that it is hard to remember them all. What happens now is that every new style I tell my mum about gets a reply "Ohh yes, this was in fashion during your mamu's/my wedding.
Therefore I bring you a little memory down the lane. A little reminiscing about what were the trends since 2006. How the dress has gone through drastic changes in seven years only! Ready for the roller coaster ride? One, two, three, LEGO!
2006- EXTREMELY short kameez with patiala shalwar
haha how many of you remember this? I remember how I wanted as short as possible kameez. A kameez could be made from any left over piece of cloth. And also, everything a girl would just bend a little, everyone would get a glimpse the shalwar's crotch part *flinches*. Hope this fashion does not make a comeback anytime soon.
2007- The Capri
Kameez got longer, pants got shorter. Got everyone rushing to the salons.
2008- Anarkalis make a comeback
Dressy kameez began to show up with trouser like pants.
2009-2010 BIG culottes
Kameez get longer and pants get so wide. The era of culottes. Every kameez has different ribbons, pieces of clothes added at the end. No extra piece of clothing goes waste as it adjusted somewhere on the kameez.
2011-2013- Legs are hardly visible due to extra long kameez
The dresses get very elegant and flowy with floor length size. Tight trousers or chooridaar are worn but seldom seen due the length of kameez. This is my favourite fashion of all. I think Pakistani fashion industry reached its peak during these two years.
2013- Palazzo-ness?
We are halfway through the year and one fashion I see getting popular are the Palazzo Pants! Let's see how long they stay with us
