Pakistani Style: Churidaar Tights From Sarahs

First it was churidar and now it's churidaar tights that are all the rage! What's the difference? These are pretty much like your average tights, with a desi touch. I bought mine a few days before Eid from Sarahs. The ones I bought are white because they'll go with everything. Sarahs had black, white and even had ones with funky prints and patterns on them. They had adorable black tights with white polka dots.  




You can see the tights aren't see through. I'm holding them up against the light



I love that the material of these churidaar tights isn't sheer. I've seen pictures where the flash or the lighting often makes the tights see through. I haven't had that problem with these tights. They're comfortable and hug all the right places. The tights have a stretchy elastic waist that doesn't bite in to my skin. The fitting is flawless. 

Personally, I think the churidar tights are better than the churidar itself because the fitting is better. Also the look is more sleek, polished and oh so chic. It's a very modern take on the traditional chuirdar. I love pairing mine with a long, flowy shirt/kurta. Another plus point is that they don't get wrinkly either. 

Sara's has three sizes to choose from, large, medium and small.

Directions: Sarah's is situated in the market across McDonalds Main Boulevard Gulberg. The market/plaza where Nike, Charles & Keith and Karma are also located.  Umm, more appropriate directions will be the shops adjacent to Home Economics!

Price:800 (which is a steal compared to the ones from Maria B. They're for 1500)

(I'm sorry for the bad lighting. It was really really dark in the last two pictures)

  1. Great post. I personally prefer the chooridar tights too. Otherwise the stitches of the chooridars start coming off, and they are never the perfect fit.
