Shopping for Eid


E

id is just a few days away. Some of us prepare for this annual affair ahead of time, while others wait until the eleventh hour. Whatever the reason, if you haven’t shopped for that special Eid outfit yet, all you have to do is go online.

The reason is simple: some of the best designers from Pakistan have launched their respective websites, and whenever they introduce a new collection, they add it to their website. Going out and buying is a different experience altogether, and some will swear by it. But if you’re not in the mood or pressed for time, going online is the easiest way to solve the problem while finding that one outfit you want to splurge on and wear during the upcoming Eid break.

Going online also has another advantage: you can visit a number of websites and see what is your set budget and what you can afford to order.

To that end, here are some options that will make your shopping experience less daunting while allowing you to pick an outfit you could wear.

Khaadi

Your one-stop online shopping can begin with Khaadi, one of the largest brands in the fashion universe of Pakistan. Before buying anything, you can make an informed decision since you can use filters for what you need. Are you looking for a kurta, pants, dupatta, shalwar or a two-piece outfit?

If you’re interested in their Eid collection, there are filters for budget, size and the type of outfit you want: a complete outfit like a shalwar kameez or just a kurta or a dupatta or pants.

When you click on Eid collection, you will have an extensive choice because their collection is not restricted to ten or twelve outfits. You can make a selection based on your preferred color, fabric, and whether you want a two-tone outfit or a tonal one. Beyond colors, fabric, and budget, Khaadi’s Eid collection, which can be found on their website, also offers diverse designs, including outfits with minimal embroidery to those with maximum embroidery. Khaadi’s Eid collection is rich and festive and has a lot to offer. Your favorite Eid outfit is therefore just a click away. You can also explore various other collections including Chunri Edit and Festive Eid in addition to Eid Edit collection.

Ensemble

Shopping for Eid

Apart from singular designer/brand website, the one online store that you should visit is Ensemble, which is a multi-brand fashion store. They don’t stock one designer; they host a significant variety of designers. You can filter through new arrivals, budget buys, luxury pret, respective designers, and women’s wear to find that perfect outfit that you love and that falls within your budget. You can also filter through popularity and newest to oldest and vice versa.

They offer outfits that range from under 10k to 20k and beyond. Among the designers you can find are well-established names like Wardha Saleem, Sania Maskatiya, Farah Talib Aziz, to designers that you may or may not recognize. But in terms of variety, this is one online store that is a must for anyone, as the Eid outfits on display don’t belong to any one name but a variety.

You can find Pariza by Wardha Saleem with formal hand embroidery including zardoze, rhinestones, and sequin & bead work with the shirt’s fabric being cotton silk and culotte’s fabric being raw silk or opt for Alaya by Sania Maskatiya with its muted color and sharp silhouette.

Misha Lakhani

One of the most prominent names in fashion, Misha Lakhani’s website allows for a unique experience. Her website also allows various filters including size and pricing to ensure that the outfits you’re looking for are available for sale. For that purpose, the first task must be clicking on the availability filter.

Once you’ve done that, Misha Lakhani has a lot on offer, including a Kaftan (which has a loose fit, a sharp V neckline, and side slits), or a Keenu Kurta (which is artisanal, embroidered and can be worn on Eid as well as throughout the year). You can buy the complete look, which means buying the lowers separately, or you can opt for just the kurta. You can also look at particular collections such as occasion wear or artisanal every day, depending on whether you’re looking for traditional craft or a blend of old x modern x experimental.
