Karachi:
As the month of Ramazan comes to an end, the purchase panorama is flames with a colored kaleidoscope, sounds and sensations, while the city prepares for the greatness of Eidul Fitr. You can see citizens buying late at night, while merchants introduce new varieties to attract customers.
Unlike last year, women prioritize Readymades this EID dresses. A wide range of festive collections is available on several brands, with many people welcoming newcomers and anxiously taking their favorite pieces. However, others complain about strong price labels, since citizens also complain about inflation.
According to a survey conducted by the Express PAkGazette, women prefer colorful and attractive impressions and exclusive design clothing for EID. The demand for these clothes has increased the collector compared to last year, and merchants have increased their prices accordingly. Ashraf, a merchant from a shopping center near Teen Talwar, said women buy short kurtis and baggy shalwar pants. Prices have doubled compared to last year. However, due to heat, most people buy cotton clothes and grass.
The influencer Nida Wajid, while bought in Gulf Market, said that the tendency of the baggy shalwar pants, also known as ‘Farshi Shalwar’, has taken social networks by assault. This fashion is from the 1970s. Our grandmothers used to wear these traditional Asian clothes. Decades later, in 2025, the popularity of Farshi Shalwar has broken all the previous records. “This year, the short kurtis with Farshi Shalwar are becoming the national uniform. I bought one, made of silk cloth to look more beautiful,” said Nida.
A tailor in the mall said that the lower part of Farshi Shalwar is usually 11 to 13 inches wide. It is wider and longer than the regular pants, and even touches the ground, so it is called Farshi (which means sweeping of the floor). He said that Farshi Shalwar not only adapts to high women, but women of all heights and body types can use it.
However, a famous designer has affirmed that the shalwar adapts to higher women. HE SAID, “IT LOOKS GOOD WITH B BRAH AND LONG KURETIS. Are Slim, You Can Opt for Light Colors and Finer Embroidery, While Deper Colurs and Heavier Fabrics Can Be a Great The choice for the most curved women.
The old tradition is returning in the world of fashion, thanks to the influencers and celebrities that have popularized Farshi Shalwar. As a result, many young women choose to use the shalwar trend in Eidul Fitr. According to merchants, their demand has shot, which resulted in a large number of orders for them. This unexpected popularity has raised a new challenge. Currently, artisans are working day and night, and it is not possible for stores to take more orders before EID.
A working woman told The Express PAkGazette that buying prepared clothes is convenient. A few days before EID, there are new designs available, and you can find clothes that fit your taste. The advantage of slightly embroidered clothing is that they can also be used in workplaces. In addition, the quality of prepared clothing is consistent, unlike custom clothing, which may not always meet expectations.
In several parts of Karachi, brand clothing replicas are available at affordable prices, attracting a large multitude of women. Speaking in this regard, a university student Saba said that prepared clothes save time. If a tailor ruins a suit, there is no other option. For EID, you can buy a suit ready for RS3,000, while buying fabric and sewing would cost more than RS5,000, including embroidery and other accessories. In addition, you can find replicas of famous designers in various parts of the city, offering affordable alternatives for fashion women. However, the quality of the replicas can be compromised.
Women opt for embroidered clothes, while girls follow the latest trends and styles. Young girls are adopting bold and modern styles to make a fashion statement about EID.
