Are you on the hunt for a minimalist wardrobe? Here's how you can curate one in Pakistan.

For the sake of our financial health and, of course, the sustainability of the earth, it is best to invest in wardrobe staples that offer diversity. Minimalism is our only antithesis.

Pakistan seemingly lacks in this sartorial mindset. However, many local brands offer pieces that have the potential to create the perfect capsule wardrobe. Here are some must-have minimalist wardrobe essentials from local brands.
