Your ultimate guide to
Pakistan's lawn war this
season
S
o begins another long summer littered with a multitude of lawn. There’s going to be plenty of bling,
oodles of embroidery, swathes of silk and chiffon
and the occasional pretty design amongst many run-ofthe-mill ones. You can count on spotting plenty of ripoffs, imported surreptitiously from international runways
and translated onto lawn as a ‘designer creation’. You
may also catch a video or two of lawn-crazed shoppers,
fighting for their favorite suits and captured for posterity
on social media. Oh, and plenty of lawn gurus will claim
to get ‘sold out’ while their competitors will cock sardonic eyebrows and question them. On a more positive
note, lawn can always be counted on to be a trendsetter. Brand catalogues and images on social media easily
filter down to local tailors and get replicated by lawn’s
many aficionados. This year, it’s great to see catalogues
offer much more than the eternally mundane but popular baggy long shirt. Edging their way in are knee-high
shirts coupled with shalwars that vary from the baggy
to the tapered. There’s nothing like lawn to initiate a
country-wide sartorial change and we’re looking forward
to it. Major ^ [HZ[
