Hey there, fashion lovers! Welcome to the Wearable Outfit's first blog. We are here to share some styling tips and tricks for your favorite Gurkha pants. If you have bought a Gurkha pant from our latest collection and don't know how to style it, then this blog is for you! 

However, before delving into the myriads of styling and discussing fashion trends for Gurkha pants globally, we would like you to know about the history of these pants and how they have become the most sought-after item in Pakistan these days. 

A little backstory: from the Battlefield to the Streetwear style

Ever heard about the bravery of Nepali soldiers? We guess no one has. They used to be called as Gurkha because there was a town in Nepal with the same name and the soldiers from this region were second to none in bravery and chivalrous fightbacks. Later, these soldiers were recruited into the British and Indian armies due to their excellent dueling and swordplay techniques on the Battlefield. 

But what did they wear? Talking about the connection, If we go back into the past, 200 years before, these Gurkha soldiers used to wear a uniform; it included high-waisted trousers with a distinctive double-pleated front that helps in easy mobility and an adjustable waistband that allows the soldiers to set the straps according to their size and stay focused on the field. 

Consequently, the Gurkha pants are designed for functionality and comfort in battle and now these pants have transcended their military origins to become a fashion favorite.

Isn't it fascinating how a piece of military attire has made its way into our everyday outfits?

What sets Gurkha pants apart? 

You might be wondering what makes the Gurkha trousers so special besides the origin. Let me break it down for you with four key points.

High-Waisted Design: the Gurkha trousers are famous for their appearance and their aptly flattering shape brings a charming look to any outfit. Plus, it serves as a style statement of timeless tailoring. 

Double-Pleated Front: There is more than an added aesthetic benefit. The pleated folds extend to give added volume, ensuring your comfort whether within a cafe or commuting. 

Adjustable Waistband with Side Buckles: say Goodbye to your belts and save money! Now you can adjust your waistband with the side buckles that let you personalize your fit without compromising your sleek Design. 

Good Options for All Weather: we have used breathable cotton for sultry summer days but these same cotton Gurkha pants can be used in chilly weather too since our premium Gurkha pants can adapt to climates and occasions.

Now, back to the styling guide: 

How do you style Gurkha pants without overthinking it? 

We all have seen gurkha pants around without even realizing it but subconsciously the look of these trousers has inspired us deeply. So, for those who have been sleeping on these Gurkha pants, it's time for you to wake up and level up your fits with our styling guide. 

You only need a few essential pieces to add to your wardrobe (usually we all have them) but if not, then order it from wearable outfit since we have every western clothing item available at steal prices. 

Easy Breezy Vibes

For an easygoing look, pair it with casual shirts. This combo is a no-brainer. Tuck the buttoned shirt in the pants for a lightweight, relaxing look. Roll up the sleeves, throw on some loafers or low-top sneakers, and boom, you're ready to give a nonchalant vibe.

Style Tip: Go earthy or neutral and let the structure of the Gurkhas shine through.

Smart, But Not Stuffy

Have to look sharp? Gurkha pants just elevate your office wear without making you feel overdressed. Pair it with a crisp white or pastel formal shirt; tuck it in and forget a belt (because, hello, built-in waistband!). Add leather shoes or minimal dress sneakers, and you'll be all set for meetings, dinners, or events. Not gonna lie but maybe the CEO will envy you for your high fashion-taste.

Style Tip: Try navy Gurkhas with a pale blue dress shirt. Timeless combo.

The Sporty Gentleman Look

Indeed, polo shirts and Gurkhas are strong together. The polo shirt keeps it pretty casual, yet the trousers give a tailored edge. Ideal for smart-casual hangs, days on the links, or date nights when you want to seem like you put in some effort but not too much.

Style Tip: Tuck in your polo. Let those side buckle details show — that's part of the charm.

Minimal, Clean, Simple

When in doubt, hit the basics. A semi-fitted basic tee or slightly oversized t-shirts (tucked in, always) with Gurkha pants is a chef's kiss. Some white sneakers and maybe a chain or watch will complete the fit for a casual classic look, with hints of "I didn't try so hard but still look fire."

Style Tip: A white or black tee is classic, but don't shy away from trying some pastels or wash-out tones. 

Pakistani Cultural Influence meets Global trends:

Pakistan is all about tradition and heritage when it comes to fashion, and that is possibly one reason why this country stands out in the fashion world. For instance, their eccentric clothes, such as shalwar kameez, waistcoats, and kurta-pajama's, all of these items have a loose yet framed look, and Gurkha pants fit very much into this aesthetic. The high waist and pleating feel familiar enough to blend into a pretty modern context, and that makes it all the more relatable to contemporary wardrobes, whether they are draped in tradition or inspired by the West.

Plus, fashion in big cities of Pakistan like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad swiftly adopts global trends. People are more exposed to street fashion, Instagram reels, and influencers, giving us a more global context. Gurkha pants have that "different but classic" vibe that fits right into the fashion-forward yet modest style many people prefer in Pakistan.
