When the British came to the subcontinent, they brought along their formal attire, the pant and shirt. Over time, many in our society adopted it, especially in offices and professional spaces. Yet, as you step into any Pakistani market, mosque, or family gathering, and you’ll see the reality: most men still choose the shalwar kameez. For them, it’s about the identity, culture, and pride stitched into every thread.
As the hot season approaches, the search for the perfect summer unstitched suit begins. Every man wants a fabric that keeps him cool, looks stylish, and honors his heritage. That’s where the summertime collection from Rakaposhi by Bareeze Man stands out, offering premium unstitched fabrics that reflect tradition while adapting to modern needs, all the while keeping it super affordable. Here are the top 3 fabrics every Pakistani man should add to his wardrobe this summer.
-
Cotton – The Classic Companion
No fabric is more connected to Pakistani summers than cotton fabric. Its natural fibers and breathable weave make it the ideal choice for long, hot days. A shalwar kameez made from cotton cloth feels light, airy, and soothing against the skin. Whether you’re going for Jummah prayers, celebrating Eid, or spending time at home, cotton keeps you fresh and comfortable.
But cotton isn’t only about practicality. It carries emotional weight. Many of us remember fathers and grandfathers dressed in pristine white cotton unstitched suits during the summer, a tradition that continues proudly today. Wearing unstitched cotton fabric feels like staying true to our heritage.
The unstitched collection from Rakaposhi by Bareeze Man offers premium cotton cloth in designs and shades perfect for Pakistani men. In the new summer collection, cotton remains a centerpiece, blending heritage with modern elegance.
Wash & Wear – The Effortless Choice
Today’s world moves fast. Men balance work, family, and social gatherings, leaving little time for daily ironing. This is why wash & wear fabric has become a top choice. Known for being wrinkle-free and long-lasting, wash and wear fabric for summer offers effortless style with minimal effort.
What many don’t know is that wash & wear is created from synthetic or blended fibers, such as polyester-viscose mixes, that are tightly woven. This dense weave makes the fabric naturally resistant to creasing and helps it fall neatly on the body, giving the shalwar kameez a refined drape. Unlike cotton fabric, which absorbs moisture quickly, washing wear fabric resists sweat absorption. Instead, it pushes moisture to the surface of the cloth, where it dries faster, an important feature in Pakistan’s humid summers.
Another advantage lies in fiber memory. Because of the engineered weave and chemical finishing, the fabric “remembers” its shape after washing. That’s why your shalwar kameez stitched from wash & wear fabric stays sharp even after multiple washes, without losing its newness.
Rakaposhi by Bareeze Man has added to this convenience by offering premium wash & wear fabric for summer that is both durable and elegant. With colors that stay vibrant and textures that resist fading, these suits belong in every man’s summertime collection.

Blended Fabrics – Where Tradition Meets Modernity
Blended fabrics are the smart middle ground, combining fabric and cotton with synthetic fibers. They are engineered to merge the softness and breathability of cotton cloth with the strength and wrinkle resistance of man-made fibers.
What makes blends stand out is their balanced performance. Pure cotton fabric tends to shrink slightly after the first wash, while wash & wear sometimes feels less airy. Blended fabrics solve both issues — they resist shrinkage and provide better ventilation than synthetics alone. This makes them lighter than wash & wear fabric but easier to maintain than cotton.
Another technical edge of blended fabrics is color retention. Cotton by itself may fade under strong sunlight, while polyester fibers in blends help lock in dye. That’s why a shalwar kameez stitched from blended unstitched fabric keeps its richness even after repeated washes. The mixed fibers also increase fabric durability, meaning fewer chances of tearing at stress points like shoulders and knees.
The new summer collection by Rakaposhi by Bareeze Man includes premium blends tailored to Pakistan’s climate. Designed with modern weaving techniques, these fabrics provide structure without heaviness, making them ideal for both casual wear and formal occasions.
