It’s summer and all of us could use a little sunshine to lift our mood!

The Look: Sana Javed gets her summer look just right with a sun-kissed yellow cotton chikankari angarkha suit from the Ansab Jahangir Studio, just perfect for a sunny Sunday. We love how her attire is simple and yet stylish enough to make a summer statement and bring back the minimalistic ‘some’ in Karachi’s ‘summer’. 

A special mention goes out to the organza embroidery and lace detailing on her muslin dupatta. The flowing fabric is embellished meticulously with contrasting white floral motifs and hand embroidered organza sides on both pallus, bordered with a net lace, and similar patterned lace detailing on the short sleeves and hemline of the angarkha.

Sana has accessorized her look with discreet, floral patterned pearl earrings and gorgeous transparent heels.

 

 

Hair & Makeup To top off her classic look, Sana has allowed her hair a casual feel with a centre parting and loosely tonged curls. She dazzles with a chic nude rose lip color, fresh kohl eye liner and a tinge of amber rouge. 

Note: V-neck Angarkhas are trending this summer and can be worn with modal dhoti pants, palazzos, flared pants and even churridars. Trending colours to try and help you cope with this year’s COVID quarantined summer are: dark pink, powder blue, mint green and chanderi yellow. 

Quick Tip: Try a white chikan angarkha and randomly pair it with an organza embroidered dupatta in the above mentioned colours!
