Trend spotting: The shalwar makes a comeback

We know, we know, it hurts when a new trend emerges after lawn season stitching has come to an end but ladies, it's time to accept it: the shalwar is officially back.

Deep down, we all knew that harem/cigarette pants couldn't have replaced it for good but we say, why does it have to be an either/or situation? They can all live together like one, big, happy family!

It's presence on the runway reaffirmed our suspicion. One of our favourite ensembles in Elan's Jasmine Court collection was coupled with a shalwar.

Ammara Khan gave it a slit to shake things up.

Designer Feeha Jamshed gave it a Western makeover.

It went from ramp to retail in no time and soon, we spotted celebs donning the old classic.

Not just local celebs; even the Bolly stars are on point with this one.

Won't it be nice to have the blood circulation back in your legs? Cigarette pants can get tight!
