An angrakha is an asymmetric top with ethnic designs. There is an opening to the front, which is closed by the use of threads and loops. It is a clothing option that is available to all ages of all genders. It looks super cute on younger people and extremely sophisticated on adults. Over the years, different designers have tried their hand at innovating the basic angrakha design without altering its structure, and many have successfully done so. It is available as a kurta that can be worn by both men and women. This piece of clothing, although has its roots in India, has made its way to Pakistan and has gained an astounding level of appreciation from the general public.

Where Did Angrakha Design Come From

The place of origin of Angrakha is the desert state of India, namely Rajasthan. The region’s climate remains hot and dry throughout the year. To keep cool in such harsh weather conditions, the locals designed a light and easy to wear piece of clothing that will allow for ventilation while also protecting them from the sun. This piece of clothing is called an Angrakha. Due to the high intensity of heat, the clothing material used in an Angrakha is usually cotton, which is highly absorbent and can withstand heat.

All genders can wear it, but for those of you who still conform to society’s standards, if you want to make your Angrakha look either more masculine or more feminine, you can differentiate your piece by pairing them with appropriate pieces of clothing. Men, for example, can opt to wear turbans and dhotis with this, whereas women can opt to pair a salwar, churidar pajama, or a lehenga with this. Dupattas also look very elegant with Angrakhas.

Angrakhas can be styled depending on their use. If you plan on getting one for daily use, then a knee-length Angrakha should suffice. However, if it is a collectible and you’ve been meaning to get one for celebrations, then a  frock styled Angrakha should do the job.

What Set Angrakhas Apart From Other Designs

Things inspired by nature have an unmatched beauty. This particular design of clothing is uniquely beautiful for this very reason. Having been inspired by nature, it has the components of the place of its origin. The design usually comes with a tied and dyed cloth, which is embroidered heavily with mirror work. The embroidery patterns are abstract and include different geometrical shapes.

Angrakha is made with bandhani, which is basically tied and dyed cloth. This is achieved by wrapping and tying a string around the cloth to make different shapes and shades on the cloth. There are many different shading styles available that you can choose from. The shaded fabric is then embroidered with abstract patterns to give it a whole new dimension. Mirror work is then added to the cloth to further accentuate the look of the piece of clothing. This fabric is then made into an angrakha by either hand or machine.

Here we have a list of all the ways you can style your angrakhas. Please keep reading to find out how Pakistani celebrities style it to get inspiration.

Wedding season coming up, but you don’t have anything to wear? Looking for an angrakha to rock this festive season? Look no further because this is it! Beautifully embroidered angrakha with heavy embellishments are all you need to glam it up.

We love everything about this outfit. Everything from the tie and dye to the bead embroidery on the angrakha looks perfect. The use of two separate pieces of clothing for the top is a genius idea for those of you wanting to add a whole new dimension to your outfit. The heavily embellished top is paired with a lehenga without embroidery.

This is a perfect balance because when both the top and the bottom are heavily embroidered, it might set off the balance a little bit and ruin your look. The gorgeous dupatta only adds to the look and makes this entire angarkha an outfit most can only wish to have in their wardrobe.
