When it comes to fashion, fabric is the foundation of style. At Al‑Nuqat, we believe every piece of clothing begins with a story — and that story starts with the fabric. Whether you’re dressing up for a festive gathering or looking for an effortlessly elegant outfit for the day, understanding the fabric you're wearing makes all the difference.
Let’s take you on a journey through four of our signature fabrics: Silk, Chiffon, Crape, and Pollylawn — and show you how to style them, care for them, and fall in love with fashion all over again.
Silk – The Definition of Luxury
Why We Love It:
Silk is known for its smooth texture and natural shine. At Al‑Nuqat, our Shamose Silk pieces like the Urban Dress reflect pure sophistication. It drapes beautifully and feels like second skin — perfect for evening dinners, festive occasions, or formal gatherings.
Style Tip:
Pair a silk dress with delicate jewelry — think gold hoops or a pearl necklace. A sleek bun or loose curls will complete the regal look.
Care Instructions:
-
Iron from the inside using medium heat.
-
Do not bleach or wring.
-
Dry clean or gentle hand wash for longevity.
Chiffon – Soft, Feminine & Flowing
Why We Love It:
Lightweight and semi-transparent, chiffon is ideal for layered looks. It adds movement and grace to any outfit. Our chiffon styles offer a timeless look with a modern twist — perfect for daytime events, brunches, or evening soirees.
Style Tip:
Try layering a chiffon kurta over a silk slip dress or pants. Pair with strappy heels and soft glam makeup.
Care Instructions:
-
Hand wash with cold water.
-
Do not tumble dry.
-
Iron with a protective cloth over the fabric.
Crape – Modern Texture, Classic Charm
Why We Love It:
Crape is slightly heavier than chiffon but offers beautiful texture and structure. Ideal for tailored cuts and dresses that hold their shape. It’s a go-to for anyone who loves clean lines and sophisticated silhouettes.
Style Tip:
Go for bold — pair a crape outfit with statement accessories and heels. A belt can enhance your waist and add structure to your look.
Care Instructions:
-
Gentle machine wash or dry clean.
-
Iron inside-out on low heat.
-
Avoid direct heat or heavy pressing.
Pollylawn – Light, Breathable, and Practical
Why We Love It:
Pollylawn is a soft, easy-breezy fabric that’s perfect for casual wear, everyday elegance, or travel looks. It’s comfortable, durable, and versatile.
Style Tip:
Pair a pollylawn shirt with wide-leg pants and sneakers or flats for an elevated casual look. It’s also a great option for summer styling.
Care Instructions:
-
Machine washable in cold water.
-
No need for heavy ironing.
-
Do not bleach.
