haha. Might do. Shirwani does look quite smart.

It is more of a formal dress, right?

[Bitman]

It doesn't look like the most comfortable dress though.

[sana]

yeah it's formal wear. ppl wear it either at their own shadi or at their siblings or cousin's shadis.

[octavian]

desi clotes are too much hassel to wear..i love my jeans and t-shirt

[HAFRIDI]

Them shirwanis are pretty standard

[sana]

the first 1 is deepak perwani's n the rest r amir adnan's.

the 3rd 1 is a bit girly but i like the model.

[Bitman]

Shirwani looks best in lighter colours IMO.

i havent worn a desi dress in 5 years almost.

the ladies ,, ahhh, the best thing about Pak probably

[Bitman]

Like these better:

[HAFRIDI]

Disagree Hitman, i like dark Shirwanees

For a wedding though, dark wouldnt suit it probably

[sneekysneeky]

wear shalwar kameez on eids... thats about it...

[Bitman]

I haven't worn one so maybe you're opinion has more weight.

[Bitman]

I haven't worn Shalwar kameez in a couple of years. Its ok in Pakistan but I just don't feel comfortable wearing desi dress here in the UK (except special occasions).

[HAFRIDI]

U can also get brilliant Designer Salwar Kameez nowdays so i prefer that over shirwaanees socially, i have this black design from Pak, looks awesome imo

[HAFRIDI]

Same here, i sometimes where em at night. But other than that never

Dont ask me why, but i find it embarassing wearing it in public, im sure its the same with a few here too.

i wear shalwar kameez to relatives dinner parties, weddings, eid but i guess it's diff for guys. they only wear em on eids and wedding functions.

[HAFRIDI]

Me too.

I posted the second picture just to prove that as comma implied, the belly button makes the dress a lot sexier. The black sari is indeed nice.

I haven't been to a wedding function for a good 3 years.

[z10]

i don't wear shalwar kameez in public but i like wearing it at home

you cannot get more comfortable clothing

[Bitman]

Sadly that is true.

Let's just hope he doesn't see this thread.

[HAFRIDI]

Exactly why i wear it at night sometimes

[zaf1986]

I wear shalwar kameez in public from time to time, but you get these looks.

They think you're a terrorist lol.

[Bitman]

Originally Posted by z10 i don't wear shalwar kameez in public but i like wearing it at home you cannot get more comfortable clothing

I agree. I don't wear them because I don't have any. When I go Pak this summer, I'll get some.

[zaf1986]

Well said.

I wear it around the house all the time. Shalwar kameez and thobe (Arab long dress) are my staple around the house.

[HAFRIDI]

These are pretty hot.

Mint green one looks cool even without the belly button bit ;)

[Bitman]

That does look good.

Not sure about the first one though. Though Vaneeza looks hot as always!

[HAFRIDI]

Yeah the first ones not all that, i like the colour though, design could be better

[sneekysneeky]

you guys are actually looking at the dresses

not long before the thread gets binned now ;)

[Bitman]

There's nothing wrong with those unless you're a member of the MMA.

[cinderella]

As I said before, fashion passes...........STYLE remains.

[jusarrived]

my younger sis designed a shirwani for me,which I have never worn ..my mom told my sis other day not to design anything for me

its nice to have a designer n your family ,I get free stuffs frm her company n dress designed for free of cost!

[Shoaib Akhtar's Fan]

although i live in karachi i never wear kurtas or shalwar kameez whereas most of my friends do esp for jummas. The only time i wore a sherwani - a black one was a couple of yrs bak at my sister's wedding.

[Aurangzeb]

what with these girls exposing their shoulders? i'm a pretty liberal guy but c'mon...for mens fashion, i'm still a fan of kurthi's...right now, the fad is pajamas instead of shalwars...i don't like it though...too indian...and i have never liked the round collars on kurtha's...the regular collar or the collar-less kurtha's are hype...

[UJ]

I like the regular collar for more formal occasions

A black shirvani looks really awesome imo!

[catwoman]

I love the clothes in first post especially the lenga and its color combination.

Black sherwanis look great on guys.

I love Desi fashion and clothes and usually wear them to Desi gatherings...never at home or out in the public though. Desi fashion is really in in the West nowadays too...all the sandals, tunics, ballet flats, chandelier earrings.

[sana]

some more:

[HAFRIDI]

I like the 1st,7th and 8th

[HAFRIDI]

...Rest are too colourful imo

[sana]

color is in these days. in pak u can get away which these colors but here i agree it looks odd

[HAFRIDI]

I dont like the bright stuff to be honest..i think it;s freshy-ish

[Bitman]

Originally Posted by sana some more:

7th is very good. Sexy dress. Love the colour.

[catwoman]

I really like the 2nd, 4th, 7-9th. These days, I like the really baggy shalwars (patyala) with short shirts a lot.

Bright colored clothes look good in summer and spring.

Has anyone actually order from the bargelloshop.com by the way? I just love some of their clothes and have been drooling over them for a while but not sure if I should order from there or not...Anyone ever had any experience with them?

[HAFRIDI]

Im appalled by that choice-4

[catwoman]

Originally Posted by HAFRIDI Im appalled by that choice-4

Why? I like the different colors, looks funky and is great for spring and summer!

[HAFRIDI]

Intresting

Dont it look 'old fashioned' to you?

[catwoman]

Originally Posted by HAFRIDI Intresting Dont it look 'old fashioned' to you?

Nope...short shirts with baggy shalwars (patyala) are really in now a days. Clothes with a bit of a traditional touch often look good.

[HAFRIDI]

acha, good luck to ur future hubby, im sure he will love that ;)

[catwoman]

Originally Posted by HAFRIDI acha, good luck to ur future hubby, im sure he will love that ;)

I think he'll like my Western clothes wardrobe better actually ;)

[HAFRIDI]

..Not if the dress sense is similar to the above.

[catwoman]

Originally Posted by HAFRIDI ..Not if the dress sense is similar to the above.

And what is wrong with that dress? The short shirts and baggy shalwars are really in nowadays.

[HAFRIDI]

Can u please confirm if it is indeed this one ur on about?

http://i72.imagethrust.com/t/58832/579.jpg

Canada is obviously a bit different from here then

[catwoman]

Yes this is the one.

And I'm not fan of yellow but it looks good with pink and bluish.

Canada's not different, the patyala and dhoti shalwars with short shirts are really in in pakistan these days.

[HAFRIDI]

LOL..oh so your going by the norm in Pak.

I was thinking more along the lines of western girls...im pretty sure no girl here would look twice at that dress.

[khanpuria]

oh, there are dresses!!!

[catwoman]

Most people here follow the fashions in Pakistan when it comes to Pakistani clothes...dresses like that look good at formal Desi events. The second one is also similar since it's also a patyala shalwar.

What's wrong with that dress though??? I find it funky!

[UJ]

I like the first one, the pink one, looks very HOT!!

[khanpuria]

hmm u gta rate the cameraman . . . some wonderful shots

[HAFRIDI]

Right. 2nd one is pretty good.

We just have different taste i guess. That would be my least fav one there.

[HAFRIDI]

Originally Posted by UJ I like the first one, the pink one, looks very HOT!!

Too right !! 7 n 8 are hot too !

[UJ]

Originally Posted by HAFRIDI Too right !! 7 n 8 are hot too !

Yep, the 7th one looks really classy too!!

[z10]

1st and 7th are the best there

[HAFRIDI]

What about the 4th, z

[khanpuria]

6,7,5,8 in that order

[z10]

Originally Posted by HAFRIDI What about the 4th, z

do i look canadian?

[UJ]

4th would be last one my list

that colour scheme just doesn't work for me

[HAFRIDI]

See Mona, its not just me

[sana]

i'm with mona on this. the ones that i post r the ones i like the most on this site. actually the 4th 1 is really in these days. esp its color combination.

I agree...these guys don't know a thing about fashion and trends.
