Pakistani clothes have made it to your hometown. You don’t believe me do you? Let me explain. Take a trip to your local mall and step into any major department store. Pick a JC Penny’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, or Polo store, and you’ll see Pakistani clothes! Still scratching your head aren’t you. OK, let’s get to the meat of the matter.
See that fancy silk blouse you call a “tunic” or “tunic top.” It’s a loose, comfortable, and smooth shirt or top that is both modest clothing and hip. That is from the Pakistani clothes line. You see, that tunic top has been known as a “kurta” in Pakistan and India for centuries. Bet you didn’t know that Indian and Pakistani clothing have been in America for 40 years! In the 1960s, Indian and Pakistani clothes gained a lot of popularity with the hippies. The loose, free-flowing form of the kurta gave the hippies an excellent expression in fashion. And lately, there has been a reaction wave to Britney and Aguilera clothing with an emphasis on modest clothing. Tunic tops, or the kurta Pakistani clothes are at the forefront of this wave that has impressed tween and grandma alike. With the recent national weight gains and this modest swing in women's clothing fashion, Pakistani clothes are bound to stick around for a long time.
The testaments to Pakistani designer clothes popularity are numerous in America. There is the tunic top fad. TIME magazine recently published a great piece in June 2005 of all things tunic. The recognition of kurtas for their comfort, elegance, versatility, and cost-effectiveness is all over magazines, TV, and newspapers. What other dress can you imagine that is good for the beach, mall, and an evening get together…all without putting a major dent in your budget? Pakistani clothes have also been discovered by JLo, Angelina Jolie, and Nicole Kidman. These divas have found this womens clothing to be perfectly fitting in their high fashion wardrobe.
Other Pakistani clothes to be reckoned with are salwar kameez. These consist of a top shirt known as the kameez and a bottom half, or pants known as a salwar. The variations on the theme are amazing and could fill 1000 pages in a fashion magazine. A dupatta covers the kameez partially, and is known as a stole in the West. The salwar kameez is definitely catching on in America. Just a few weeks ago, we had an American friend purchase a suit from us for a party. She came back with so many compliments that she was blushing about it for a week. The comfortable designer elegance of Pakistani clothes is quite powerful.
The future of Pakistani clothes is quite strong. America has lifted quotas on Pakistani fashion textiles, which has resulted in a boom of trade unparalleled in history. The talent of these tailors is finally coming to fruition in the West. Hopefully, we are just seeing the beginning of this rich cultural exchange.
