Move over, ladies! This week, it’s the men who take centre stage and discover what goodies the fashion world has in store for them this Eid and for all preceding celebrations. No need to dredge out the old shalwar kameezes relegated to the back of your closet, guys – it’s time to invest in one of these fab ready-to-wear pieces that prove looking good can be inexpensive, quick and fun.
You really can’t go wrong with a Khaadi kurta. Comfy, durable and stylish, these babies will see you through the entire month of Ramzan with its host of iftars and dinners all the way through till Eid and the mehndi season beyond. Pair yours with a straight pajama instead of a regular shalwar to channel nawabi elegance. The Eid collection is retailing between PKR 2,500 to 3,500 at all Khaadi stores nationwide.
If crisp and classic is not your thing and you’re looking for something more flamboyant this festive season, then an HSY outfit is what you need. There is nothing understated about his pieces – from the opulent embroidery to the hefty price tags – but the craftsmanship is superb and the kurtas are sure to get you the attention of the ladies.
In case you boys have been feeling left out of the lawn mania that overtook half the population come March, Gul Ahmed has a great line of men’s kurtas in this popular summer fabric. You can opt for a dyed one in a subtle shade of blue, a classic white latha kameez or, if you are the daring sort, a kurta with a splash of print like the one pictured here. Grab yours at an Ideas outlet for under PKR 5,000 before the Eid deluge wipes them off the rack.
This one’s for the true fashionista – someone who knows that the Sania Maskatiya label stands for cutting-edge style and innovation. This is their first foray into menswear and fun pieces like this one, starting from PKR 4,500, are a nice change from the run-of-mill options available.
