Pakistani formal wear: what to expect

Formal suits use richer fabrics and cleaner, more classic designs than everyday wear: embroidered necklines and borders, jacquard weaves, chiffon dupattas and touches of zari or sequins. Most come as unstitched 2 or 3 piece sets so you can choose your own cut.

Formal and semi formal dresses

  • Semi formal: embroidered lawn or jacquard with a printed dupatta — ideal for daytime events and office functions. See our semi formal dresses.
  • Formal: embroidered chiffon, organza or luxury jacquard for evening dinners and family occasions.
  • Weddings: for heavier looks, see our Pakistani wedding dresses and party wear dresses.

Choosing formal suits for ladies

Pick colours that suit the time of day — soft and pastel for daytime, deeper shades for evening — and check each product page for fabric and what is included. Leave time for stitching before your event.

Shop original formal wear

Every formal dress at Askani Group is bought directly from the brand. Compare labels on our brands page, or find formal suits at lower prices in the branded sale.

Frequently asked questions
