Also known as Dhoti Shalwars, these loose pants have taken the Pakistani fashion scene by storm this summer.
Social media is abuzz with the look and and darzi’s are scratching their heads.
Because to be very honest it’s not an easy task to make a cylindrical leg-sized pocket. Here’s what our countrymen (more of women) have to say about the tulip of the season:
