This season’s hero piece has got to be the dhoti shalwar. All over the ramp at the end of last year, dhoti shalwars have made that essential cross into the mainstream – with multiple designers coming up with their own versions.
Spotted at GTs and parties around town, dhoti shalwars work as both daywear and evening wear and can be paired with a host of silhouettes. It’s best to keep hemlines on the higher side for maximum impact but you can wear dhoti shalwars with either flats or heels, eastern or fusion.
Where to buy dhoti shalwars in Karachi
Dhoti shalwars are probably beyond your average darzi at present so buying a pret version is your best bet. We’ve had a scout around and there are a whole host of high-end silk ones available – but they sell out so fast that most of these designers can barely keep them on the shelves. Be prepared to either make more than one trip or put your name down on a waitlist!
