Karachi:
While the month of Ramazan ends at its end, the commercial landscape is on fire with a kaleidoscope of colors, sounds and sensations, while the city is preparing for the greatness of Eidul Fitr. Citizens can be seen from purchases until late at night, while traders introduce new varieties to attract customers.
Unlike last year, women favor the dresses practiced this EID. A wide range of festive collections is available in various brands, with many people welcoming new arrivals and impatiently taking their favorite pieces. However, others grow up the high price labels, as citizens also complain about inflation.
According to a survey by L’Express PK Press Club, women prefer colorful and attractive prints and unique design clothes for Eid. The demand for these clothes increased compared to last year, and traders increased their prices accordingly. Ashraf, a merchant in a shopping center near Teen Talwar, said women buy short kurtis and loose shalwar pants. The prices doubled compared to last year. Due to the heat, however, most people buy cotton and lawn clothes.
Influencer Nida Wajid, while shopping at Gulf Market, said that the trend of Shalwar loose pants, also known as “Farshi Shalwar”, stormed social media. This fashion came from the 1970s. Our grandmothers wore these traditional Asian clothes. Decades later, in 2025, the popularity of Farshi Shalwar broke all the previous records. “This year, the short kurtis with Farshi Shalwar become the national uniform. I bought one, in silk fabric to make it more beautiful,” said Nida.
A tailor at the shopping center said that the bottom of the Farshi shalwar is generally 11 to 13 inches wide. It is wider and longer than the ordinary pants, and even touches the ground, which is why it is called Farshi (which means that the floor of the ground). He said Farshi Shalwar is not only suitable for large women, but women from all heights and body types can wear it.
However, a famous designer said that the shalwar is only more suitable for larger women. He said: “He looks good with short and long Kurtis. This traditional and royal outfit can be made from various fabrics like Jamawar, Banarsi Silk, Silk Brut, Khadi Silk, Murffon, Organza, Georgette and Velvet, which are suitable for different seasons and occasions. If you can opt for more colors and colors.
The ancient tradition makes a return to the fashion world, thanks to the influencers and celebrities who have popularized the trend of Farshi Shalwar. Consequently, many young women choose to wear the trendy shalwar on Eidul Fitr. According to merchants, his request has skyrocketed, which leads to a large number of orders for them. This unexpected popularity posed a new challenge. Currently, craftsmen work day and night, and it is not possible for stores to take more orders before Eid.
A woman who worked told L’Express PK Press Club that the purchase of ready -to -use clothing was practical. A few days before Eid, new models are available and you can find clothes suitable for your taste. The advantage of slightly embroidered clothes is that they can also be worn in the workplace. In addition, the quality of ready -to -use clothing is consistent, unlike tailor -made clothes, which do not always meet expectations.
In various parts of Karachi, replicas of brand clothes are available at affordable prices, attracting a large crowd of women. Speaking in this regard, a Saba university student said that ready -to -use clothes saved time. If a tailor ruins a costume, there is no other option. For Eid, a ready -to -use costume can be purchased for 3,000 rupees, while buying fabric and the sewn would cost more than 5,000 rupees, including embroidery and other accessories. In addition, replicas of clothing from famous creators are in various parts of the city, offering affordable alternatives for women concerned with fashion. However, the quality of the aftershocks can be compromised.
Women opt for embroidered clothes, while young girls follow the latest trends and styles. Young girls kiss daring and fashionable styles to make a fashion declaration on Eid.
