What we did and didn't like from Ayesha Omar's New York Fashion Week looks

What we did and didn't like from Ayesha Omar's New York Fashion Week looks

The red pants can stay but those slouchy boots and shiny trench coat aren't doing her any favours
19 Feb, 2018

If you're feeling some work envy, we don't blame you; Ayesha Omar has been rubbing shoulders with Hollywood's top models in New York as Maybelline Pakistan's official spokesperson.

This is the first time a celebrity from Pakistan has been invited to attend New York Fashion Week and meet its international ambassadors along with global fashion industry icons as part of the Maybelline New York Global Family. As Bruno Mars would say, "she's living it up in the city!"

But we have a bone to pick with her. As pictures from her time in the Big Apple started to pour in on Instagram, we noticed that she had made some...questionable sartorial choices. The Bulbulay actress usually has her style game together and has a great physique but she is petite; maybe drowning her frame in bulky trench-coats, slouchy boots or a leg-shortening midi dress wasn't the best idea.

We dissected her looks to find items we thought were cool — and some we think she should ditch.

Keep: Red pants with white stripes

Talking to her stylist behind this particular look, Rao Ali Khan shares, "The first look was a fun crop top with poofy sleeves and red trousers. I thought it would make Ayesha look taller and will compliment her body."

We really believe denim is the devil so we're all for coloured pants and wide-leg trousers, like the ruby ones Ayesha wore. They're comfortable and they make a statement. However, we really weren't fans of the complete look. We think she would have looked way better had she opted for a form-fitting sleeveless crop-top and maybe a smaller bag. Speaking of bags...

Ditch: Big bags

Seriously, these are bordering on mom bags...

The over-size everything rule has dominated the accessories game for a while but that seems to be over now. Iconic designer bags are great but their bite-sized version look much better when you're going out for a night on the town and looking for something a little dressier.

Smaller cross-body bags like the Fendi Amo B carried (L) and the YSL Sadaf Kanwal opted for are convenient and cuter!

They're edgy, they're on-trend; Just don't pair 'em with leather pants AND fur (faux we hope!), that's overkill.

Ditch: Slouchy boots

While dainty women have some limitations when it comes to clothing, shoes are where they can experiment with one exception: boots. Or over the knee boots to be exact. You really have to find the right fit and if you fail to do so, slouchy ones will just add width to your frame, making your legs look bigger and shorter.

Kylie Jenner wore similar Balenciaga purple boots and made it work; we think it's because the rest of her outfit didn't have much going on, not to mention they fit her like a glove.

The white and purple combo definitely works better than the purple and black

You can always count on cat-eye sunglasses to turn a casual outfit into a glam moment; it's a classic but has been reinvented in recent years with bolder designs and sharper wings. You can always count on a statement pair to cinch your whole outfit together and Ayesha Omar seems to know what's up.

Ditch: That shiny red leather trench coat

Undoubtedly, the shiny trench trend is big right now. Blake Lively wore a crimson Michael Kors jacket just recently that had us picking our jaws off the floor. However, Omar paired her with equally shiny blue boots and a beanie and it just became OTT. Wish she had coupled it with sleek stilettos instead and let the coat be the star!

Again, the white and red combo seems to work better than what Ayesha chose

Some of her clothing and accessories were ill fitting like those shoes, red jacket, Fur jacket, Even the black jacket to some extent - They all look as if they were bought off the shelf with little or no consideration for fitting her body or style.

Pakistani women wear too much makeup and that’s not sexy at all. You should go for less makeup and focus on simplicity. Focus on eating a good diet and working out rather than over the top fashion. Her outfits were not classy at all. It was definitely an overkill on her part.

When it comes to fashion sense Pakistanis don't have that. Majority of the people don't know the difference between Formal , Casual, Causal Formal and which to wear with what. If they have money they buy all expensive things and wear it all together.
