The Farshi Shalwar is the latest buzz in fashion, with social media turning it into both a trend and a meme. As Eid al-Fitr approaches, many are eager to try this floor-grazing style. But fashion designer Maria B. has stepped in with some advice: not everyone can pull it off.
In a candid video, Maria B. shared her thoughts on who should embrace the Farshi Shalwar and who might want to skip it. According to her, this traditional yet trendy look is best suited for tall, slim, and younger women.
Maria explained that the Farshi Shalwar works well for younger women with a taller frame. “I can see my daughter wearing it regularly,” she said, adding that the style complements a leaner silhouette.
However, Maria, who is 43, admitted she wouldn’t wear the Farshi Shalwar herself. “At my age and with my fuller figure, it’s not the most flattering choice,” she said.
Maria advised that women with shorter stature or fuller figures might not find this style as flattering. Instead, she suggested opting for styles like cigarette pants, which she believes are more versatile and elegant for a wider range of body types.
To prove her point, Maria showcased four outfits in her video—two featuring the Farshi Shalwar and two with cigarette pants. The verdict? Maria herself looked more polished and graceful in the cigarette pants ensembles.
So, if you’re tall, slim, and ready to make a statement, go ahead and embrace the Farshi Shalwar this Eid. But if not, don’t worry—there are plenty of other chic options to explore.
