Our top 13 picks for casual pret collections to combat the heat of a Pakistani summer

Summer is going to officially start after Eid and hopefully by then corona will have taken a bow. To prepare for the many days of summer when you’ll be itching to find something comfortable and breezy to wear, the best thing to do would be to buy ready to wear eastern clothes. Not only that will they help with that, they will also help you avoid the hassle of going to tailors and stuffy bazaars. Below is a list of 15 local brands with Pret to get you ready for a happening but comfortable summer. 

1. Their clothes are for the women who like to feel confident in a room full of people 

Nuqsh (@nuqshpret) was started by three friends who were frustrated with the unavailability of comfortable, ready to wear clothes in Pakistan’s huge fashion market. Some were too showy, others were made from terrible fabric and the designs had no uniqueness to them. Keeping this in mind, they launched Nuqsh to ensure that every ensemble you wear is unique and befitting of the person that you are.  Their main aim is to create designs that have been never before seen in the local market.  Their casual pret is priced between the range of Rs. 2000 to Rs. 4000.  Shop yours here

2. Minimal and subtle clothing for those who just want to lay back and relax

Talia Janjua launched Teejay (@teejjays) personally around 2 years ago. Her belief is that the Pakistani market offers clothes that are far too gaudy and showy for them to be worn comfortably. Keeping this in mind, she caters her designs to those who want something pretty to wear that does not draw away from the actual person.  Her designs can also fit into your ensemble if you have a showpiece accessory.  Her clothes are priced between the range of Rs. 3000 to Rs. 7000.
