Any type of shoe, which is fresh of the runway is classic and the perfect way for someone who wants to look professional yet a little playful at the same time. There are many different ways one can carry off their overall look one of them is wearing a white shirt tucked into a pair of white high- waisted pants with tan open-toe heels and a light jacket to make the winter look more appropriate for spring.

07 . Choose Banarsi & Chunri Prints For Ethnic Wear
The most hit prints amongst all the latest lawn collections were the ones with banarsi and chunri prints, as they’re popular once again. A few years back, banarsi prints were only limited to saris or special occasions while chunri was something people would wear on mehndi functions but seeing them in casual everyday outfits is surely a delight. These prints give off elegant, royal vibes which are why they’re every woman’s favorite these days.
08 . Peek-A-Boo Trousers
We’ve seen organza trousers becoming increasingly popular this year. You can find them at pretty much any renowned fashion brand like Khaadi, Sapphire or BeechTree. They’re also available in different styles including cigarette pants and baggy trousers. They generally have strips or organza attached to them in different designs so the legs are slightly visible through the trouser.

Wearing jeans with kurtis, the ultimate fusion of Eastern and Western wear.

This summer stunning street style collection of all-white outfits is what’s trending and at the same time breaking barriers. Forget about the “rules” and create a perfect white look that will lift your mood and will make you look ravishing this summer.

If you think that white is a boring way to be dressed in real life, then you better think twice, as you can use subtle prints and out of the box textures in your all-white look, you can make a fashion statement with this look.

The 5 Hottest Lawn Trends Of The Year
Summers would be incomplete without the lawn fever, right? So we surveyed all the latest and most popular lawn volumes to bring you a list of what prints and styles are trending in lawn this year:
- Block Prints
It is always nice to see our National brands portraying our heritage and block printing is one such technique that always acts as a reminiscent of our history and tradition. We saw many brands including Zaha bring back block printing with a modern touch to it.
- Chickenkari
This is another traditional type of embroidery that looks perfect in Summers because of its light and breezy design. You’ll see a lot of designers releasing chickenkari lawn prints this year including Maria B and Zainab Chottani.
- Minimalistic Stripes
Minimalist fashion has been trending since the last few years in Pakistan as more and more brands have started launching solid colored shirts. After all, at some point we all get tired of all the prints. But this year, the focus has moved from simple solids to stripes, including horizontal, vertical as well as a mix of both. Here’s a look at one such “stripes on stripes” outfit from the Western line of Sapphire:
- Flora & Fauna
Funky animal printed lawn shirts have become increasingly popular this year, especially amongst young Pakistani girls. But this year, we saw a merger of the flora and fauna in the form of beautiful embroideries on lawn shirts. This is definitely something new and a trend worth trying.
- Ombre Effect
The Ombre effect refers to a visual gradient of colors as they merge together to create a magical effect. This trend becomes popular almost every summer because pastel colors look fabulous in Ombre prints and they look like they’re made for Summers. Here are some beautiful Maria B outfits that feature the Ombre effect:
