Curating My Winter Aesthetic: Comfort Meets Style

Leave a comment

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 🫶🏻

Pakistani Brands Worth Spending On Summer’24 Edition

Leave a comment

Guess who went over board with lawn and promised herself she won’t be doing it anymore? ME. That’s right. ME. What’s summer without tons of lawn suits you’ll even probably not wear because you prefer staying in Pyjamas at home. Every girl/woman needs dresses just in case they might need to dress up.

HUSSAIN REHAR

I absolutely love his clothes. Specially the lawn unstitched suits. Though you need a lot of effort to find the right laces in at least 3-4 different shapes and designs. I wore his designs on both the Eids this year. His lawn quality is the best amongst Pakistani designers. He also launched Jugnu Pret and I got a yellow 2 piece dress from that collection it’s so cute and the best part is it’s super comfy and super loose. Loose fitted clothes are extremely comfortable to carry in this 44 degrees heat. Do check out his collection if you’re into something similar to these cute dresses.

ZARA SHAHJAHAN

I absolutely love all her collection. From the Eid RTW to her coco lawn collection. The quality never disappoints and they recently opened their outlet in my city previously they only had studios in Karachi. I just realised all the articles I got and/or planning to get are from the same color family, Blue.

If you’re into blues definitely check out her collection. My size in the Pret for completely sold out, will probably visit the studio to see if they have my size available over there. I absolutely love her Coco Collection, it’s perfect for day to day wear. I prefer having minimal embroidery for causal wear clothes because it’s very difficult to carry heavily embroidered lawn clothes in this heat. You want something soft, loose fitted and easy to carry anywhere anytime.

SERÁN

I got a few dresses from this particular collection. Absolutely loved the soft lawn fabric and the easy to carry cotton net and chiffon duppata. The only headache was to find the right laces and getting them dyed. I’m big on all the tiny details of my dresses. These are again easy to carry with minimal embroidery. They have had multiple collections launched too but this collection literally has all my heart for all the florals and cute prints.

ZAIB

Disclaimer: Their stitched options are very loose, if you’re a size small usually just get an extra small.

Absolutely loved the quality of their fabric however the sizing is a bit confusing so I’d recommend you to get in unstitched and get it stitched from your own tailor. Their models are super skinny which makes you think you might want to size up but trust me the fitting doesn’t come in slim fit, it’s loose. I got a dress and will probably never wear it or just give it to my tailor to fix it. Do check it out if you’d opt for something unstitched. Rest it’s all good and pretty.

SAPPHIRE

This is my everyday wear go to brand. The best part is it’s not that pricey and I experiment new designs on them and they turn out to be amazing every single time. The lace, necklines, hem and sleeves I experiment with every single thing. Again their cute minimal prints, duppatas and basic embroidery is what I love the most about this brand.

MIAASA

This is just another Pakistani Footwear brand which I absolutely love. I have a couple of pairs from this amazing brand. Got flats and heels. It’s a very unique brand and different from all these other common shoe brands. The way they sparkle and look is just too good. Whenever I go through their website I just want to order everything. I absolutely love buying shoes in different colors and designs to match my outfits. Just a quick tip make sure you get padded shoes not the ones with a hard plastic sole, otherwise your feet will start killing you and it’s terrible. Comfort needs to go hand in hand together with fashion. They recently started selling their shoes in New York too, and this brand has a long way to go.

Lastly i’d like to say is you can wear the most amazing outfit but at the end of the day it will all come down to how you carry yourself. Take care of yourselves, you are what you eat and think. So eat good and think good/positive too.

Stay tuned for more;
