Kaftans

Kaftans are the perfect summer dress. They are loose and flowy and provide the necessary comfort during warm days. They look especially beautiful when made in geometric designs and large prints.

Laces

Adorning suits with laces are another way of styling summer outfits. Laces can be added to plain outfits as well as printed ones. Plain suits with the same coloured laces put in creative styles look very elegant. White laces can also be added to solid suits for a more defined look. Adding laces to the sleeves and bottom of printed shirts makes them stand out and look very pretty. Laces are available in many colors and it is usually easy to find a matching lace for the suit. They are also available in white colour which can be dyed into any colour of preference.

The various types of laces available in the market range from simple ribbon designs to put on the suit to hanging designs for the edgings.

Buttons

Beautiful buttons in different sizes and shapes are readily available for adding individualistic style to the outfit. A vast variety of big and small metal buttons along with embellished stone buttons make it easy to adorn any outfit.

Intricate Embroideries

Delicate embroideries on the neckline or the sleeves look very elegant. Embroidered lawn suits can be worn for formal occasions such as birthdays and parties. Simplistic designs and light bead embellishments look beautiful in summer as opposed to heavily worked dresses.

Chiffon Dresses for Formal Wear

The lawn is the most popular fabric of the season which is used for casual to semi-formal dresses. However, for more formal events in summer, like weddings and Eid, etc., women prefer to wear pure chiffon dresses. Pure chiffon is a lightweight sheer fabric that enhances femininity and gives a very flattering look. The fabric also gives life to the embellishment and looks great on formal occasions. Chiffon dresses are very popular among women and are a season’s favourite along with Pakistani lawn suits. Many designers and mill owners are now focusing on producing more chiffon lines along with the lawn collections to cater to a wider audience and increase options for the consumer.
