Top 20 Clothing Brands in Pakistan 2026
Looking for the best clothing brands in Pakistan? The right choice depends on what you need and how much you want to spend. Khaadi, Sapphire, Gul Ahmed, and Nishat Linen are popular for everyday wear and lawn, while brands such as Baroque, Maria B, and Afrozeh offer outfits for weddings and other formal occasions.
In this, we cover all details of the top 20 clothing brands of Pakistan. Some are known for everyday lawn and ready-to-wear clothes, while others focus on embroidered suits and wedding outfits. Most of the brands are specific to women, but you'll also find a section on men's clothing and western wear.

How we picked them: we started with the brands Pakistani shoppers search for most and the names that appear across fashion press and other brand lists. Each one had to have a current collection and its own stores or official online store. In October 2026, we checked every brand's official website for its founding details, what it sells, and its regular prices. JEEM is a clothing brand too, so we left ourselves out of the 20 and explain where we fit near the end. Couture houses like HSY and Bunto Kazmi are designers rather than clothing brands, so you'll find them on our list of the top Pakistani fashion designers.
A quick note on the price tiers in the table. If most of a brand's suits cost less than PKR 5,000, we've called it affordable. Brands in the mid-range usually charge between PKR 5,000 and 15,000, premium labels between PKR 15,000 and 35,000, and luxury labels more than that. A tier shows where most of a brand's range sits, not every product, so a luxury label may still sell some lawn at lower prices. We checked these prices on each brand's Pakistan website in October 2026 and ignored sale prices. Since prices shift with the season and the fabric, have a look at the brand's own site before you order.
Famous Clothing Brands in Pakistan
Ask most women where they buy lawn and one of these four names comes up. All four grew out of textile businesses, and lawn is still central to what they sell.
Khaadi
Khaadi opened in 1998 under the direction of Shamoon Sultan, with a focus on handwoven fabric. Its first store opened in Zamzama, Karachi, in 1999.
The brand has since expanded into ready to wear kurtas, co ord sets, unstitched suits, and home textiles. Prices vary by collection. A single unstitched shirt costs around PKR 2,000, while a three-piece suit can cost about PKR 6,000 or more. Embroidered designs and premium fabrics come at higher prices.
Sapphire
Sapphire arrived much later than the other three. Nabeel Abdullah launched it in 2014 as the retail arm of the Sapphire textile group, with a first store in Dolmen Mall, Karachi, and the brand is run from Lahore.
Its strength is pace. New printed lawn and western tops arrive often, so the range changes faster than at most brands here. Ready-to-wear pieces start at around PKR 1,000, unstitched suits at about PKR 1,500, and the most embroidered sets reach roughly PKR 30,000. Shoppers abroad can order from its US, UK, and UAE stores.
Gul Ahmed (Ideas)
No brand on this list goes back further. The family was trading textiles in the early 1900s, built Gul Ahmed Textile Mills in Karachi in 1953 and opened its Ideas stores in 2003.
Lawn is still the main draw, released in several volumes through the summer. Unstitched single shirts start at around PKR 1,900, printed 2-piece suits at about PKR 3,500, and embroidered 3-piece suits at about PKR 5,000. On the stitched side, Ideas Pret kurtas start near PKR 3,500, 3-piece suits near PKR 10,000, and winter velvet reaches about PKR 29,000. Alkaram Studio, also backed by a big mill, usually costs a little less for ready-to-wear.
Nishat Linen
Before it sold a single suit, Nishat Linen sold bedsheets. Naz Mansha founded it in 1989 as part of the Nishat Group in Lahore, and the first store opened in 1994.
Shoppers tend to pick it for classic designs rather than the newest trend. Single shirts start at around PKR 4,000 and embroidered 3-piece suits at about PKR 6,000, while its boutique pieces climb to roughly PKR 50,000.
Popular Brands for Everyday Wear
These four have branches in most Pakistani cities and dress the whole family, so they're where many people do their regular shopping.
Alkaram Studio
For low prices from a big mill brand, Alkaram Studio is the strongest of this group. Some single shirts cost under PKR 1,000, 2-piece suits begin around PKR 2,000, and an embroidered 3-piece is about PKR 4,300.
The label is the retail side of Alkaram Textile Mills, which opened in Karachi in 1986. The studio followed in 2010 with unstitched fabric, then added ready-to-wear for women, men, and kids. There's also a US store.
J. (Junaid Jamshed)
Junaid Jamshed opened the first J. store on Tariq Road, Karachi, in 2002, selling men's kurtas. Women's and children's clothes came later, along with fragrances and shoes, so many families now do their whole Eid shop in one visit.
Women's kurtis start at around PKR 1,600, 2-piece suits at about PKR 2,250, and embroidered 3-piece suits at about PKR 2,750. Expect longer shirts and modest cuts.
Bonanza Satrangi
Winter is when Bonanza Satrangi stands out. The company started in Karachi in 1976, making knitwear, and sweaters are still a big part of what it sells. The Bilwani family added Satrangi, the women's line, in 2012, and the Express Tribune covered its early collections.
Its 2-piece suits start at about PKR 2,400, printed 3-piece suits at about PKR 3,300 and embroidered ones at about PKR 6,000.
Generation
When Saad and Nosheen Rahman opened Generation in Lahore in 1983, hardly anyone in Pakistan sold ready-to-wear. The family still runs it, as Dawn's Aurora has reported.
Bold prints and comfortable cuts make it a regular choice for office wear. Printed 2-piece suits cost around PKR 3,250, embroidered 3-piece suits start at about PKR 8,000, and the most formal pieces reach PKR 30,000.
Affordable Clothing Brands in Pakistan
These four keep most of their range under PKR 5,000, so you can buy several outfits for the price of one formal suit.
Limelight
Limelight releases new designs constantly and keeps prices low. Printed shirts cost around PKR 1,000, a 2-piece starts at about PKR 1,700, and an embroidered 3-piece at about PKR 3,700, a low price for embroidery. Wahaaj Tariq and Amna Wahaaj founded it in Lahore in 2010.
Zellbury
Among the eastern wear brands here, Zellbury has the lowest top price, and hardly anything in its women's range costs more than PKR 7,000. Single shirts start at about PKR 1,300, and most pieces stay under PKR 5,000.
The Al Rahim Textile Group launched it in Karachi in December 2016, and it sells clothes for women, men, and kids.
Beechtree
Beechtree is aimed at students and younger women, mixing kurtas and suits with western tops. HKB Group launched it in 2010 and opened the flagship in Gulberg, Lahore, the following year.
Single pieces start at about PKR 1,300 and embroidered 3-piece suits at about PKR 3,000. A premium unstitched line goes up to PKR 20,000, but that's the exception.
Outfitters
Outfitters is the only western wear chain in the 20s. Kamran Khurshid founded it in Lahore in 2003, and the women's line followed two years later. Tees cost under PKR 1,000, and jeans run from about PKR 2,200 to 7,500. For kurtas and eastern suits, its sister label Ethnic covers that side.
Affordable Formal Wear Brands in Pakistan
This group is for nikah, mehndi, dinners, and wedding guest outfits when couture isn't in the budget. Most of their embroidered suits fall between PKR 5,000 and 35,000. Embroidered luxury lawn works for a daytime nikah or dholki, while chiffon or organza is the better choice for an evening barat.
Cross Stitch
The name comes from the traditional thread work Cross Stitch started with when Sheikhupura Textile Mills launched it in Lahore in 2011.
For wedding guests, the formal line in chiffon and organza is the main reason to visit, though it also sells lawn and khaddar, stitched and unstitched. A 2-piece costs around PKR 5,000 and an embroidered 3-piece around PKR 6,200, while luxury pieces go up to about PKR 55,000.
Asim Jofa
Before fashion, Asim Jofa sold jewelry. He launched his Karachi label in 2009, and embroidered festive wear has been its focus ever since, sold stitched and unstitched.
One brand can cover both Eid and dholki here. A 2-piece starts at about PKR 3,300, an embroidered 3-piece at about PKR 3,750, and heavier festive pieces reach about PKR 34,000.
Agha Noor
Agha Hira and Agha Noor were 22 and 18 when they started this Lahore brand in 2011 with a team of six. Their focus is ready-to-wear formal suits, which helps if you'd rather skip the tailor before a mehndi or dinner.
Single shirts start at about PKR 2,800, 2-piece suits at about PKR 4,500, and embroidered 3-piece suits run from about PKR 6,000 to 35,000. Overseas buyers can use its UK store.
Baroque
Embroidered chiffon is what Baroque does best, particularly its Chantelle collection. The brand comes from Bilal Textile, a Lahore fabric maker with more than 30 years in the trade, and it also sells Swiss, lawn, khaddar, and velvet.
Most formals cost between PKR 12,000 and 35,000, with some embroidered 3-piece suits from about PKR 7,000 and winter velvet higher. If you buy unstitched for a wedding, Baroque will also stitch the outfit to your measurements.
Luxury Fashion Brands
These four sit at the top of the price range on this list. That describes where most of their collections sit, not every product. Sana Safinaz, for example, also sells lawn at mid-range prices. Luxury pret here means embroidered ready-to-wear, while formal suits are heavier and closer to bridal wear.
Maria B
Maria Butt opened the first Maria B store in Lahore in 1999, soon after graduating from the Pakistan Institute of Fashion Design (PIFD). The range runs from printed lawn all the way to bridal.
M.Prints 3-piece suits start at about PKR 16,000, while luxury formals cost about PKR 41,000 to 63,000.
Sana Safinaz
Sana Safinaz is known for clean, modern cuts rather than heavy work. Sana Hashwani and Safinaz Muneer founded it in Karachi in 1989, and it sells lawn, ready-to-wear, luxury pret, and formal wear.
Embroidered 3-piece suits start at about PKR 4,300, though couture costs far more. Next to Maria B, which usually goes heavier on embroidery, it feels more minimal.
Afrozeh
Three generations of the family behind Afrozeh have worked in fabric, and the Lahore label focuses on premium chiffon and lawn. Wedding guests who want detailed embroidery often pick it.
Lawn starts at around PKR 8,500, festive suits at about PKR 13,500, and bridal pieces go up to PKR 47,000.
Bareeze
Bareeze has stayed with what made its name in 1985: embroidered unstitched fabric. Seema Aziz and her brother Hamid Zaman founded it in Lahore under Sefam, the company that also owns Kayseria.
Few names on this list cost more. Casual 2-piece suits on its official store start at around PKR 15,000, and formal pieces can pass PKR 75,000. It ships worldwide from that store.
Men's and Western Clothing Brands
Most of the 20 focus on women, so here are the main names for men and for western clothes.
Western clothing brands
Besides Outfitters, Breakout and Cougar are the usual stops for jeans, tees and jackets.
Men's clothing brands
J. is a common choice for men's shalwar kameez and kurtas. Amir Adnan is known for sherwanis and men's formal eastern wear; Uniworth and Charcoal for shirts and suits, and Edenrobe sells for both men and women.
More Pakistani Clothing Brands to Know
Twenty brands can't cover everything, so here are a few more names you'll see.
Lawn clothing brands
Firdous, Warda, Ittehad, Mausummery, Zarqun, Rang Ja, and So Kamal also sell lawn and unstitched suits, often for less than the bigger brands charge for similar fabric.
Why Women's Clothing Brands in Pakistan Keep Growing
A few years ago, most women bought fabric and had it stitched by a tailor. Now brands launch new collections every few weeks, many of them ready-to-wear, and deliver across Pakistan and abroad.
Online shopping and delivery abroad
Instagram, TikTok and brand websites let a label show a new collection to women everywhere on launch day. Almost every brand on this list sells online with delivery across Pakistan, and many ship to Pakistanis in the UK, US, Canada and the Gulf. For what's in style right now, see our guide to women's fashion trends in Pakistan.
Seasonal launches and sales
Most brands follow the same yearly cycle. Lawn arrives in spring, Eid collections come out a few weeks before each Eid, and khaddar, velvet and shawls take over in winter. Shoppers now expect accurate size charts, easy returns, and quick delivery too, so service matters almost as much as design.
What Clothes Cost at These Brands
A brand doesn't have one price. The same label can sell a PKR 1,500 shirt and a PKR 30,000 suit, and three things make the difference.
Fabric and season
Printed lawn and cotton are the cheapest. Khaddar and linen cost a little more, and chiffon, organza, silk, and velvet can cost several times as much.
Pieces and embroidery
A single shirt costs least, then a 2-piece (shirt and trousers), then a 3-piece with a dupatta. Embroidery adds a lot, so an embroidered suit can cost double a printed one in the same fabric.
Unstitched, ready-to-wear, and sales
Unstitched suits often look cheaper, but remember to add the tailor's charge. The biggest sales come with the Azadi sale in August, Blessed Friday in November, and end-of-season sales, when discounts can reach half price.
Buying Pakistani Clothes Online From Abroad
Most brands on this list ship overseas. Check these things before you order.
Official stores and regional sites
Several brands run their own regional stores. Khaadi has a US site, Sapphire has US, UK and UAE stores, Alkaram Studio and J. have US sites, and Agha Noor has a UK store. The rest mostly ship worldwide from their main site. Ordering from the brand's own store, or a stockist it names, also makes returns and exchanges much simpler.
Shipping, duties and sizing
Order early if you need the outfit for Eid or a wedding, because international delivery takes longer. Duties depend on your country, and some stores charge them at checkout while others collect them on delivery. Pakistani sizes also differ from UK and US sizes, so compare the size chart with your measurements. If you order unstitched, you'll need a tailor who can stitch shalwar kameez.
Where JEEM Fits
We left JEEM out of the 20, since ranking our own brand wouldn't be fair. JEEM makes women's formal wear, luxury pret, and bridal wear, with hand embroidery on raw silk, chiffon, organza, and jamawar. Orders in Pakistan usually arrive in 15 to 20 business days, and international orders are sent by DHL Express.
Formal wear
JEEM formal dresses start at about PKR 39,500. For a wedding function or formal dinner, Zira Ice Blue is a pale blue silk outfit with organza panels, resham work, and pearl detailing.
Luxury pret and silk
If you want something dressy but easier to wear, Anna Teal is a turquoise raw silk three-piece with zardozi and tilla embroidery and an organza dupatta. Browse luxury pret and silk dresses for more.
Bridal
For brides who prefer gold over red, Golden Bridal is a champagne and gold three-piece with pearl and crystal detailing. See all our bridal dresses.
