Fashion Haul

Whenever we talk about men’s footwear collection in Pakistan we remember few brands such as Outfitters , Breakout , Adidas , Nike , Hush puppies , Borjan , Bata , Servis etc. On the other hand, when we start comparison among these brands specifically between local and international brands of footwear in Pakistan, a lot of people just talk about quality and price comparison . Yesterday I was watching a vlog of a Pakistani youtuber. Initially he defined the product of outfitters means footwear very well but, as he starts comparison about the design. He straight away told that " Outfitters is copying the designs of Nike and Adidas". He shows that by edit the product design using adobe photoshop in his video. I feel really bad about his verdict. Because just to make money out of that video he demoralizes or create a negative word of mouth about the leading casual brand of Pakistan. So, I decided to give a review. First of all, outfitters is not providing luxury ...

Whenever, we talk about luxurious brand in men’s wear, we got few names in mind like Amir Adnan , Deepak Parwani , Ammar Belal , Munib Nawaz , Junaid Jamshed . But how we can forget to mention “ Almirah ”. Brand is defining itself in three words Classic, Elegant, and High Quality . I would say yes, there is no doubt about it. Because as most of you may listening the name first time or you might be an Almirah user. But I must say whatever they are selling showing a class. If I talk about Almirah’s product line, they are dealing in men’s ready to wear shalwar kameez, kurta, unstitched fabric, bottoms, cufflinks, waistcoat, sherwani collection and shoes while in women’s category they are offering pret collection, unstitched collection, waistcoat, formal collection, shawls, bottoms and jewelry. They are also dealing in a separate “ Wasim Akram Collection” for men and they have a product line of fragrances for men and women as well. I have just seen their Festive collect...

I remember my school days when my few friends were very good in teachers parody and we all felt great at that time. But, we were not aware about the outcomes of that activity. We often called that kind of friend by the name copycat, which means “A person who copies another behavior”. So, that kind of person or friend can make you laugh for the time being, but he/she cannot get value easily in your life. Same goes with brands today. When you find that a brand is copying another favorite brand’s ideas and patterns in tops, bottoms and shoes . You may stop buying from that copycat . But it takes a lot of time to understand, a lot of time to differentiate, a lot of time to change your perceived value . I have experienced the same in last three to four years. I am talking about the so-called famous brand of Pakistan in men’s ready to wear apparel industry named “Breakout” . Yes, I was the customer of breakout almost two years ago because of its latest fashion variety in...

Whenever we talk about apparels and shoes, specially bottoms everyone likes to wear jeans. But, when it comes to pairing jeans with shoes, is it not felt like solving a Rubik’s cube? Well I would say that’s not true. Because pairing jeans and shoes should not be a riddle if you have a piece of information that I’m sharing with you. First, you must choose your setting either casual look or dressy look you want? Each event requires a specific fashion decision, so you should consider how to settle on that choice. Then it comes to your jeans style, whether you wear slim fit, regular, skinny, relaxed or straight fit. With different types of color washes. Now here comes the choice of shoes rightly with jeans. If you want to opt everyday look, there is a natural fit of shoes with jeans. You should pair Chukkas or Chelsea boots or any other lace-up shoes with slim fit jeans in any wash either in dark wash or in faded style. Skinny would not be a good option with these kinds ...
