Summer 2026 wardrobe sorted 🌴 🥥☀️🌻✨💛

Hey girls!

After all the self reflecting blogs and deeper thoughts, I am back here again with a simple seasonal blog to help you sort out your summer wardrobe.

I love shopping. Whenever I am stressed, I shop. When I am bored, I shop. I love the rush of dopamine I get whenever I buy something new or when an outfit turns out exactly the way I imagined it would.

Growing up, I was the only sister with two brothers. I was a complete tomboy and honestly did not care much about what I wore, just like boys usually don’t. Most of what I know now about dressing up and putting outfits together, I learned on my own. My mom has always been very chill about these things. Now she actually asks for my help sometimes. It is funny how time changes.

Like every year, I promised myself that I would not shop much this summer. But here I am again with a dozen suits even though summers have only just started. I love looking good and dressing up. But most of the time I end up buying things I do not even wear. They stay brand new in my closet and after some time I give them away because the trend has already passed.

This year I focused more on super soft fabrics that are easy to carry and comfortable for everyday summer wear. At the same time, I could not stop myself from buying a few heavily embroidered pieces as well, because there are always formal gatherings and special occasions where you want to dress up a little more.

Zaib

This brand has my heart mainly because it feels so niche. It never feels like one of those brands where everyone is wearing the same thing and it starts to look like a uniform. I have never liked wearing common clothes. I always want my outfit to feel unique and stand out in its own way. For me it is always about the little things like the cut, the colors, the dupatta and of course the way I carry it. I got four pieces from this collection and I love them all, although they do require a lot of care since they can only be dry cleaned. The black and the maroon ones especially have my heart because I love details on the back neckline. I have always been someone who notices the smallest details and to me those tiny touches are what really make an outfit special.

Bareeze

For years I never liked this brand because almost every weird aunty seemed to be wearing it. I think I associated the brand with the way those women carried themselves, so I always stayed away from it. But this time I came across the cutest rainbow pink, a golden one, and a green, and I could not resist. What really convinced me was the fabric. It was super soft and perfect for summers, which is exactly what you need in Pakistan. I stayed away from the overly embroidered pieces and chose the ones with minimal embroidery and chiffon dupattas. The harder part was actually designing them. I had to find the right lace and then scroll through Pinterest for design ideas. In the end I kept the designs very simple but added some lace details to give them a little character. It actually took me almost an hour just to decide on the right lace for my dresses. I kept comparing different patterns and imagining how each one would look with the fabric and the simple design I wanted. It may sound small, but it shows how much I care about the little details and how dedicated I am when it comes to making something look just right.

Crimson

Their lawn was actually very reasonably priced. Usually an unstitched designer suit costs somewhere around 16k, and once you add good lace work and stitching, it can easily go up to at least 25k. And most of their articles have silk duppata not organza. So honestly, their price point was a bit shocking in a good way. I also really liked how they focused on pastel shades as well as deeper, richer color palettes. The collection felt balanced — soft and summer friendly but still elegant enough for slightly formal wear. If you want designer wear on a budget you should definitely consider crimson.

Nishat

Again, the fabric is soft and breathable, which makes these pieces very versatile. I kid you not, the fabric is extremely soft — it feels almost like a feather on the skin. That kind of softness is exactly what makes summer clothing special because it keeps you relaxed even in the heat. You can lounge at home in it or step out for a casual, laid-back day without feeling overdressed. Pair it with a fresh blowdry and minimal makeup, and you are all set to catch up with friends effortlessly.

The fit and fall of these outfits is everything. The delicate chikankari, short shirts, and loose fitted shalwars are my absolute favorite combination. Since I’m tall the silhouette falls even better on me and it just works. The red one has my heart but the baby blue and lilac are just as beautiful. I got the red when it had just launched and it sold out within days. I also love their plain scalloped dupattas and separate lowers. They offer such a beautiful variety of separates and it is definitely worth the price you pay. Definitely worth checking out.

Currently, this is what has been added to my wardrobe, and it’s all for summer wear. For me, comfort and fashion go hand in hand, especially in the Pakistani heat. I simply cannot wear something uncomfortable. Loose, well-fitted, soft fabric is what I reach for most of the time. It keeps me cool, comfortable, and stylish all at once.

I hope the coming time heals and brings peace to me and anyone reading this.

Curating My Winter Aesthetic: Comfort Meets Style

Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet—where shopping is both a passion and a form of therapy, and where dressing well feels like a daily dose of joy. Every year I tell myself I don’t need much for winter, especially since last season’s outfits are still practically new (yes, tags and all!). But then autumn rolls in, the first cool breeze hits, and suddenly boxy fit tees, wide-leg thick pants, flowy karandi sets, and crisp kurtas start calling my name. And just like that… 15–20 new pieces somehow end up in my wardrobe before winter even begins.

If you’re a girl or woman who loves beautiful cuts, comfy silhouettes, and the effortless charm of Pakistani winter fashion, this space is for you. From cozy everyday fits to chic eastern classics, consider this your warm invitation into everything stylish, soft, and feel-good this season.

Zaib

Zaib’s stitched karandi pieces are all about soft winter comfort with a clean, elegant look. The fabric is warm, slightly textured, and flows nicely without feeling heavy. Their designs are minimal yet refined—think subtle thread embroidery on the neckline or sleeves, soft winter prints, and muted seasonal colors. The cuts are relaxed and flattering, usually straight long kurtas paired with wide-leg or straight trousers that create an effortless, put-together silhouette. Necklines are simple and feminine, like V-necks, round-with-slit, or band collars. This season, Zaib truly stole the spotlight for me; their stitched and unstitched karandi sets won my heart instantly, and I ended up bagging all four outfits. They won’t be restocking these designs, so keep an eye out if something catches your attention. These are the kind of outfits you can style effortlessly and carry with complete ease—cozy, classy, and perfect for winter.

Jugnu by Hussain Rehar

Hussain Rehar’s Jugnu Khaddar collection has launched, and it truly lives up to the hype. The released colors—red, blue, and green—set a stunning tone for the entire drop. The red is a rich, festive winter shade with bold yet elegant print detailing, perfect for evening wear. The blue is cool and sophisticated, giving a modern, clean look ideal for daytime winter outfits or polished casual styling. The green leans earthy and warm, with prints that highlight its depth without overwhelming it—beautiful for everyday winter wear. These three shades alone reflect Rehar’s signature blend of strong palettes and refined design, making Jugnu an instant winter favourite.

Zara Shahjahan

Zara Shahjahan’s previous karandi launches included elegant two-piece and three-piece sets. The two-pieces paired textured shirts with straight trousers in subtle prints and warm winter tones, perfect for everyday wear. The three-pieces added matching shawls with delicate embroidery or florals, creating a complete, graceful winter look. Both offered relaxed, flattering cuts and timeless Zara Shahjahan charm.

Sapphire

Sapphire’s Winter Unstitched Volume 1 is a treat for all ages, with color combinations that are rich yet versatile—think deep maroons, muted blues, earthy neutrals, and soft pastels. The collection features abstract prints that are modern and artistic, making them perfect for both young and mature women. The designs are timeless and wearable, allowing you to style them in multiple ways while keeping the look elegant and effortless for everyday winter wear.

I choose Sapphire unstitched winter pieces for my everyday comfort, especially when I’m in my village and my usual pajamas are back in Lahore. I always get my outfits stitched in a loose fit because tight or fitted clothes just feel weird to me. My go-to is wide-leg pants with a boxy tee—effortless, cozy, and exactly how I like to move and live at home. And since most of Sapphire’s pieces are printed and don’t need dry cleaning, they’re perfect for my village trips and daily wear without extra hassle.

Also, one thing I’ve learned is that not everything in our cupboards is actually needed. We should donate our clothes to places where we know people will truly use them. It’s time to stop hoarding and start making space—for ourselves and for someone else who might need those pieces more than we do.

Peace 🫶🏻

Summer wardrobe 2025

Hey guys!

Spring has started along with ramzan and then there’s Eid. When there’s ramzan, there are Iftar gatherings and then boom it’s Eid. Even if you have no big plans on Eid you do intend on putting on your favourite outfit, style your hair and do your makeup the way you want. I don’t like summers at all, I hate now unbearable it gets outdoors. However here’s a list of designers you can consider for your Summer Wardrobe/Eid/Iftar gatherings:

ZAIB

This color palette literally has my heart. Absolutely love the deep dark color tones. The black can be casual and give you a formal look with a little bit of a glammed up look. Black is always a safe option to be honest because it can be worn anywhere and anyday. Blue however is something new i’ll be adding to my wardrobe with a keyhole neckline and cute minimal tassels. The self embroidery in most of these articles is what makes this collection more beautiful yet simple. It’s not something over the top for the hot summer Eid. If you order Pret know their sizes run big. Last year I accidentally ordered a size medium even though i’m a small and it was huge, two times my size. So be careful when ordering.

Coco by Zara Shahjahan

Zara Shahjahan’s coco collection is literally one of my favorites. The shirt duppata combination, the chikenkari kurtas, the embroidery patches everything is perfect. It’s not too heavy and not too light (holds the perfect balance). You can style them casually or just glam up the look and voila it’s the perfect outfit for Iftar gatherings or even Eid. Short shirts and farshi shalwar or loose fitted pants have made a major come back since a couple of months. You can consider getting it made out this particular collections since most of the models wore short shirts in this campaign.

Sapphire

Sapphire generally has my heart and I absolutely love their pajama sets and unstiched collection. They always have the most trendy prints and duppatas. I ordered a few summer articles and eid articles from their new collection. These are perfect when meeting friends, you can go for a casual and a full glam look by adding some darker makeup or just style your hair. Sapphire can be worn anywhere and anyday. I probably have 20-25 dresses from sapphire. I buy clothes thinking i’ll wear them causally at home but I end up choosing pyjamas instead. Ultimately your look will rely on how your tailor stitches your clothes, so make sure he does a good job.

Hussain Rehar Pret

If you’re someone who wants to go an extra mile and spend a big amount on your eid dress then hussain rehar just launched his new Eid Pret. These sizes aren’t customisable so you need to stick to what suits you exactly or near to that for you. It’s best you visit their outlet before getting the dress to see the actual work details. However you can’t wear heavily embellished Eid clothes for long specially in this Pakistani heat, you need to get back into your comfortable clothes as soon as you’re done meeting everyone and done taking pictures. But if you’re someone who actually has proper huge gatherings during Eid, you want to go an extra mile & you live in a cooler weather you should definitely consider Hussain Rehar.

Suffuse

Suffuse Pret is definitely worth splurging on. Their unique cuts, embroidery and the overall look is the worth the price and headache of ordering from them. However they might take up some time to deliver your dress make sure you order it via a good medium. They sell out within seconds of launch on their official website and usually you need to pay extra to get a hold of the articles you prefer from third party dealers. Suffuse is a perfect option if you want something good yet laid back.

Faiza Saqlain

This is the collection I am the most excited about. The long angrakhas, chooridar pajamas, heavily detailed shirts and duppatas. Personally I would rather obt for a silk or chiffon duppata because organza duppatas are almost impossible to carry. At the end your look will rely completely on how you carry yourself. Wearing long angrakha can be a task on Eid, but you need to sacrifice some comfort for fashion. Angrakhas are paired perfectly with heels or khussa shoes.

Zainab Salman

This is another Pret collection. The thing I like the most about zainab salman is the floral prints with a perfectly balanced embroidery and lace. Again if you’re someone who loves long gowns and flowy dresses you should definitely consider this. They give Sabyasachi vibes but on a budget (In a good way). There are some designs which honestly don’t make much sense to me but there is this maroon and black which actually caught my attention.

Lastly I’d like to add is that we really need to stop hoarding. If you have a dress and you know you wont be wearing it again it’s best to give it away to someone who needs it. You can’t have hundreds of outfits in your closet and keep on buying more. It’s best to buy whatever you know you can wear and if you have something and you know you wont be wearing it then just give it to someone who might just wear it and be happy. I always end up getting clothes which I don’t even wear more than once, and some are still new with tags on them. I regret doing that but never stop doing it. I love buying clothes and designing them in different ways with small yet prominent detailing.

I hope we have a peaceful ramzan and a prosperous year! Peace.
