Winters in Pakistan swing from mild afternoons to properly cold evenings, especially in the north. The answer is layering: light pieces you can add or remove as the day changes.
Start with a good base
A fitted long-sleeve top or a soft essential is your foundation. Keep it thin and close-fitting so the layers on top sit smoothly.
Add warmth with knitwear
A sweater adds warmth without bulk. On milder days, an open cardigan over a blouse is easier to take off when the sun comes out.
Finish with outerwear
A long coat is the most polished winter layer and works over almost everything, from jeans to dresses. For casual days, a jacket or a cosy hoodie is quicker to throw on.
Colours that always work
- Camel and cream: soft, warm and elegant.
- Black and grey: sleek and easy to match.
- Brown and beige: rich and seasonal.
- Add one colourful piece, such as a red sweater, to lift a neutral outfit.
Quick tip
Keep the heaviest layer on the outside and the thinnest close to your skin. You stay warm outdoors and comfortable indoors.
