Love it or hate it, you can't escape lawn fever.

Yep, it's that time of the year, when we lose all rational thinking and stampede through stores, shoving whoever gets in our way to get our hands on the latest lawn designs.

A quick glance at the lawn catalogues littering our office revealed some fascinating accessories trends that lawn adverts apparently want to catch on. Get on the bandwagon before it's too late!

An obscenely large dog

The folks at Farah Talib Aziz and Elan are taking the phrase 'dogs are a man's best friend' quite seriously. Get yourself a big, fluffy dog — all the cool kids seem to have one!

A camel

You know, for if you're not a dog person...

"Exotic" kids

Better find yourself a non-desi husband, quick!

A Chinese hand fan

'Cos what better way to beat the Karachi heat, right?

Damn you, K-Electric! (Also Elan; they're quite the trailblazers!)

A boat

Handy for monsoon season.

A matador

Some women have bodyguards, others have matadors.

Lace/leather gloves

Could also moonlight as driving gloves; a double win for the germophobe!

Ladders

Now you can literally climb your way to success.

Suitcases

Useful for lugging around all these accessories wherever you go.

Also for when you want to fly off to shoot in some foreign location (Sana Safinaz lawn campaign 2017)

A Metador and a Camel in your backyard? Are these considered 'must have accessories'? And pray tell us, by which genius??

Boats, Ladders, Matadors, children, dogs and camels can not be classified as accessories.

Love the costumes in the style of Seville. Dynamite. These models the the photographer are professionals at their craft. The look Spanish. The designers did their home work.

Can someone please explain what is lawn ad. I thought it could be for a lawn mower or for some grass seeds. "lawn (noun) - an area of short, regularly mown grass in the garden of a house or park.
