The Shalwar is back in town!
Eid 2025 is bringing back a regal fashion trend—farshi shalwar—a statement piece that blends tradition with elegance. This dramatic, floor-length shalwar, inspired by Mughal royalty, is taking over the fashion scene, making it the ultimate choice for those looking to make a grand entrance this festive season.
The farshi shalwar is heavily pleated and alot more voluminous than a regular shalwar.
The extra pleating creates a stunning flare and goes so well with a short boxy kameez.
Or even angharkhas, offering a timeless yet trendy look.
Local Pakistani designers are reinventing the farshi shalwar with modern fabrics, intricate embellishments, and contemporary cuts, making it a must-have for Eid celebrations.
My favorite fabric for this particular shalwar is either silk viscous or pure silks as they have a beautiful fall.
Celebrities and influencers have already embraced the farshi shalwar, setting social media on fire. Whether in luxurious silk, breezy chiffon, or heavily embroidered organza, the farshi shalwar adds effortless grace to any outfit. It’s the perfect blend of nostalgia and modern fashion, making it a bold yet elegant statement.
For those who love traditional wear with a dramatic touch, the farshi shalwar is the ultimate choice for Eid 2025. Pair it with delicate khussas, jhumkas, and a dupatta for a complete royal look. I wouldn’t wear the farshi shalwar with heels personally, as I feel the hem wouldn’t sit well with heels.
This Eid, embrace the farshi shalwar trend and step into the festivities with timeless grace and grandeur.

Frequently Asked Questions about
Is it true that fashion repeats itself every 20 years?
Not sure about every 20 years but it sure does repeat.
How much fabric should one need to buy for a farshi shalwar?
Tailors recommend buying 5 yards for the shalwar itself, but mine managed in 3 yards.
Is the farshi shalwar suitable for casual wear or formal only?
I had 3 stitched this winter season, all casual!
Does farshi shalwar suit every body type.
Yes, but the kameez should be made accordingly. If you’re not so tall then don’t go too short, and a tapered angrakha for our curvier girls would look alot better.
