THE SPRING BLOOM

spring trends

Spring in Pakistan is that perfect time of the year when the sun kisses your skin just right, the breeze plays with your hair, and fashion takes a turn towards all things fresh, airy, and oh-so-chic. It’s the season where lawn joras flutter in the wind, linen trousers make their way into closets, and makeup takes a turn for the dewy, glossy, and effortlessly glam. Let’s dive into the ultimate guide to looking and feeling your best this spring…

Lawn, lace, and a little bit of drama

Nothing says ‘spring’ in Pakistan quite like lawn fever. As soon as the season kicks in, billboards start flashing pastel-hued kurtas, and ladies across the country prepare for the ultimate sport - lawn shopping. This year, brands like Khaadi, Sana Safinaz, and Image are bringing airy silhouettes in floral prints and soft embroidery that scream effortless grace.

Think long flowy kurtas with delicate lace borders, organza dupattas that catch the wind just right, and wide-leg trousers that make every step feel like a fashion moment. If pastels aren’t your thing, don’t worry - designers have also introduced colour-blocked ensembles in striking blues, citrus yellows, and deep corals. Perfect for those who like their fashion with a little extra punch.

For casual daywear, Generation and Gul Ahmed have come through with minimalistic yet chic pieces that are all about comfort without compromising on style. Throw on a printed tunic with breezy culottes and some jhumkas, and you’re ready to take on the season with serious main character energy.

Linen pants, power blazers & playful prints

If eastern wear isn’t your everyday jam, western fashion has a lot to offer this spring. Linen pants are ruling the style charts, making their way into closets in all shapes and forms - wide-leg, tailored, high-waisted - you name it. Zara Pakistan and Mango are your best bets for these easy-breezy staples, which pair effortlessly with a fitted tank or a crisp button-down.

Power blazers in sorbet shades are also making waves this season. Whether you’re heading to work or just want to add some boss energy to a brunch outfit, pastel blazers from Mango or Outfitters are a must. Pair them with straight-leg jeans and sneakers for a look that says, ‘I mean business, but I’m also fun.’

Speaking of fun, playful prints are everywhere! From polka dots to abstract patterns, spring fashion is bringing back some serious retro energy. You’ll find printed tops, flowy maxi dresses, and even co-ord sets in vibrant colours at brands like Breakout and ONE. Who says fashion can’t be flirty and fabulous at the same time?

Fresh skin

Great skin is the real MVP of any season, and spring calls for a serious hydration upgrade. As temperatures rise, it’s time to swap those heavy winter creams for lightweight, refreshing formulas that keep your skin glowing.

Pakistani skincare brands are stepping up their game with locally made products that cater to our unique climate. HER Beauty’s Hydrating Rose Essence is a game-changer if you want that ‘just got a facial’ glow without the hassle. CoNatural’s Vitamin C serum is also a must-have to keep dullness at bay and add some serious radiance to your face.

And let’s not forget sun protection. If you’re stepping out without sunscreen, you might as well invite premature wrinkles to the party. Sunblock by AccuFix or Spectra Matt is perfect for keeping your skin protected without that greasy feel. Whether you’re running errands or sipping iced lattes at your favourite café, your skin will thank you for the extra TLC.

Makeup magic

This season’s makeup trends are all about keeping it fresh, dewy, and a little nostalgic. If you remember the early 2000s obsession with gloss, you’re in luck - glossy lips are making a major comeback. Masarrat Misbah’s Lip Varnish collection has the perfect non-sticky glosses that add just the right amount of shine to your pout.

Blush is also having its moment, but forget the barely-there look. This spring, it’s all about statement blush - bright pinks, corals, and even draped blush that gives your face a lifted effect. Luscious Cosmetics has some beautiful creamy blushes that blend like a dream, making you look like you just had the best day of your life.

And for the final touch? A little bit of sparkle. Shimmery eyeshades are here to add some drama to your look, whether you go for soft champagne hues or bold metallic lids. Glam Girl’s Glitter Pots and Masarrat Misbah’s Velvet Eyeshadow range are perfect for getting that ethereal glow.

Spring staples

No outfit is complete without the right accessories, and this season is serving up some serious style moments. Chunky gold jewellery is still going strong, adding a bit of edge to both eastern and western outfits. Check out Esfir and Zeen Accessories for statement earrings and layered chains that instantly elevate your look.

As for bags, mini totes and baguette bags are stealing the spotlight. Charles & Keith and Outfitters have some super cute options in pastel hues, perfect for carrying your essentials while looking effortlessly chic.

And let’s not forget about shoes - because what’s spring fashion without the perfect pair? Strappy sandals, block heels, and even classic white sneakers from brands like Walkeaze and Insignia are all you need to step into the season in style.
