↓ 10 – Go For Bright Hues
This summer, “color” has taken over the fashion industry. So you better get colorful or your summer is going to be dull.
People are experimenting with screaming colors and dancing patterns these days.
Throw some colors on you and join the summer party.
Although, dull colors in itself is a statement that’s something people have spent months trying and playing with. Now people are craving excitement and joy in the shape of bold patterns and colors. Massive butterfly patterns have been a good combo with a brighter look.
This year, the trend appears to be favoring colors with plenty of personality and style and people are running, right for it so why wouldn’t they? And honestly, who wouldn’t want a wide range of color options in their wardrobe? From now on, bolder color tones are going to be replacing the pastel colors that oh so conveniently became a part of our style.
Personally, if you ask for my opinion, I die for bright colors and the fact that I don’t have to wear layers and layers of clothing. So now that Summer is here, everyone only has one thing on their minds! Well, this season is all about color, graphics and prints, and pretty feminine shapes. It’s everything that has kept me crazy this summer.
There were so many great trends that will be making their way into our closets this season and some that are just way too ridiculous and over the top but we will still be trying them all.
Red, Yellow, Orange, and Bold Pink outfits are super trendy this year for both daywear and evening wear. Here you go, color maniacs, this year is looking brighter than the sun.
↓ 9 – Choose Royal Vibes For Festive Wear
You would think that all people want is something simple to wear, but no! that’s not what’s trending this summer.
People want clothes that scream “You are Royalty”. They want everyone to know that they are wearing the crown when they walk into the room.
Feeling powerful is what everyone is running after.
Aren’t you tired of looking basic and just ordinary? Don’t you want to feel empowered through your clothing? I bet you do, so that’s why this summer people are attracted towards more of a bold, out-of-the-box and royal look that’s never been seen before. Pakistanis are putting a Desi spin on their wardrobe. It’s classy, it’s juicy and it’s everything people can talk about this summer.
Whether it’s embroidery, lace or jewelry, the retro and romantic blend makes people different and gives them a feeling they never felt before. Then why not try it?
In Royal fashion, it has been said that jewelry is a symbol of nobility. So that a simple piece of cloth can become the star of the night, and can be the crowning touch to the entire attire. Don’t you think?
“Going Royal” has been trending like a tweet gone viral, but it’s not that simple! Even in reality you just can’t become royalty without doing certain things. You need to go all out in the most classic way to be able to wear the crown which is oh so Holy even in terms of clothes.
This Eid’ go heavy with embroidery and you will surely feel great about yourself. Do check out these Trending Party Outfits for Pakistani Girls.
↓ 8 – For Handbags, The Smaller The Better
This summer mini bags are ruling the runways, so if you don’t have a bag smaller than your hand then you are out!
“Go big or go home” no longer applies to anyone.
The color may be bright or light but it needs to be the pocket size.
This summer wherever you look, you’ll see a small handbag going hand in hand with any kind of clothing trend. Although huge bags have saved our lives for many years, carrying the not-so-important things that somehow need to be with us every time we get out of the house, this summer mini bag will minimise the load while making us look fabulous. And to be honest they are just too cute to ignore.
They are compact, efficient and fashion-friendly so why must we turn away? Let me say it again, it might not fit more than a phone and credit card—but dang is it cute.
After micro/ mini handbags were first showcased on runways, they became the talk of the town pretty soon after that, although some are still not ready to let go of their old habits stars like Mahira Khan, and Deepika Padukone are huge fans of the tiny accessory, as they have seen numerous times holding bags that weren’t even big enough to hold their necessities. But as they say “Fashion is pain”.

Forget glamorous clothes, the limelight this season is still on your shoe collection. Whether it may be formal guy shoes giving girls the masculine look with a feminine edge, who knew this would become one of the hottest trends out there?
