Latest Tulip Pants Trend 2016-2017
The tulip pant, with its forgiving silhouette – billowing on top, narrow at the ankles, and with layers of airy fabric – is the latest fashion trend in Pakistan, the home of traditional summer classics such as lawn suits and well-cut kurtas paired with cigarette or ankle pants, or the khulla shalwar. And while social-media users don't seem to care for the trend, the Pakistani fashion industry is all for it.
This summer is going through an intense heat wave and nothing beats wearing a salwar in such extreme weathern. “The newer version known as the ‘tulip salwar’ is more streamlined, lean and almost on borderline to a nice pleated pant. They are not as baggy as the salwar, but still airy enough to beat this heat.” The Karachi-based editor loves the bohemian, hippy feel of the tulip pants, which come in a range of fabric from lawn to cotton, and silk or chiffon.
While designers and mass retailers still remain in love with Cotton, lawn, the lightweight brightly-coloured cotton that is sold both stitched and unstitched, tulip pants have won themselves a fan following in the summer shopper’s market.
Zainab Khan, a designer from Lahore, describes how the tulip pants are being styled in Pakistan. “People love wearing them with short shirts,” she said. “It is one of the trendier styles in fashion these days in Pakistan.” Most commonly, they are worn with a peplum top, kaftan-like tunics, or organza wraps.
