Navigating through the different styles of Pakistani formal wear can be tricky. Some classify embroidered pieces as formal wear, while others prefer wearing outfits with flashy embellishments like buttons and sequins.
In recent years, silk and digital print shirts have also been great picks for formal wear. But how to keep up with these changing trends?
Today, our article will guide you on choosing ready-to-wear outfits for formal wear in 2024.
How to Choose Ready-to-Wear Outfits
Here are some ways to choose trending ready-to-wear outfits for formal wear:
- Do a Market Survey
The best way to choose trending ready-to-wear outfits is by doing a market survey. Visit the small markets and the big stores to see what’s trending. In the past season, outfits with Urdu calligraphy started gaining traction. Almost every shop in markets like Gulf and Aashiyana stocked these outfits and dupattas.
A few years back, double-shaded silk shirts were the rage. I made a few for myself, but you cannot get an outfit like this stitched in time for sudden invitations.
Trending ready-to-wear outfits are my savior when I don’t have time to get outfits stitched.
- Choose a Good Brand
If you don’t visit the markets often because of time or inconvenience, choose a good brand that is known for always launching on-trend collections. I personally prefer Alkaram Studio whenever I have to choose outfits for impromptu plans or sudden invitations to parties.
Their ready-to-wear line includes outfits for festive events, birthday parties, and even embroidered pieces for traditional wear to dawats or family get-togethers. It even includes gorgeous silk shirts and outfits perfect for festive wear and elegant party wear.
Additionally, Alkaram Studio often has sales and discounts on its unstitched and ready-to-wear collection. So, it is a budget-friendly option for those who want to stay fashionable without breaking the bank.
- Keep an Eye on Online Businesses
In today’s digital age, online businesses on Instagram and Facebook are a great way to stay updated with trending ready-to-wear outfits.
Many local businesses offer various formal wear options, including traditional embroidered pieces, modern silk shirts, and digital print designs. You can get inspired by the collections online and get your own designs stitched. Many online businesses also offer same-day delivery, so you don’t have to wait to flaunt your outfit.
However, one issue with ordering online is that there are a lot of businesses that don’t deliver as promised. Check out their reviews online rather than taking their word for the quality. We also advise you to order from businesses you trust rather than from new businesses that haven’t proven their reliability. It is best to order outfits from renowned brands like Alkaram Studio which are known for delivering on their promise.
- Follow Instagram Influencers and Celebrities
Another great way to stay in the loop with the latest trends in ready-to-wear formal outfits is by following fashion influencers and celebrities on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
I personally follow Nida Siddiqui, the First Female Head of e-commerce, on LinkedIn because of her impressive sense of style. She mostly wears unstitched and ready-to-wear outfits from Alkaram Studio’s latest collections.
Keeping an eye on these influencers and celebrities allows me to ensure that my formal wear wardrobe is always on point. I also follow the latest Pakistani dramas to see which color combinations are trending and which fabrics, prints, and designs are popular in the season.
Final Words
Alkaram Studio’s formal wear collection is full of embroidered pieces, elegant silk shirts, and stylish festive dresses. I always make a point of visiting the market and the Alkaram Studio outlet when I want to shop for ready-to-wear dresses. But at times, I also order dresses online, when I’m not in a rush.
But regardless of the type of formal event, Alkaram Studio is usually my choice for both outlet and online shopping.
