Recently Samantha Sutton of Instyle announced the return to the runway of the dress-over pants look, (https://www.instyle.com/fashion/clothing/dress-over-pants-fashion-trend), “With a few quick switches”, she says, “this trend can look effortless, comfy, and cool — aka the vibe, we're going for at the moment”. The danger she cautions is to fall into frumpy rather than trendy. If there is one look we Pakistanis can do better than Milan, London, New York, or Paris: This is it! Frumpy? Not even under a mango tree on a summer’s day in Multan! Dress-over-pants? We’ve got this!

The Dress:
The kaftan: Kaftans (they deserve their own blog!) abound on the runway this season. From Faiza Samee’s beautiful silks in jeweled colours to the long and elegant from Shamaeel or the short and flirty from Amishi, this season’s Kaftans are style statements |

The Tunics:
Nothing says summer like Lala Rafiq’s resort wear collection, her tunics strike a west-coast-Boho vibe that makes your toes ache for a sandy beach. |

| Sanam Chaudhri’s tunics in Ice cold pastels will keep you looking cool and comfortable even as the weather heats up. For a sleeker city look, Insam and Natasha Kamal’s tunics in black and white will take you from meeting to dinner without breaking a sweat. |
