[quote=Anonymous]NP. This is a fascinating thread. I am Pakistani American and live in Bethesda. My White friends think I dress elegantly. The desi fashionistas in Bethesda think I am boring and not trendy! I get that Bethesda has a nerdier vibe than McLean but looking elegant is not hard and the women in my family (including my in-laws) are all considered “put-together.” This seems more like OP is transitioning from one social class to the next. Her curiosity does not deserve snarky responses.

OP, have you been back to Pakistan recently? Women there are far better dressed then we are here. You should start following the magazines on Instagram. They are so on trend they are the point of being shallow there! They also know how to pair Eastern looks with Western. The same can be said for my friends in India. Additionally, people from South Asia know their textiles. The weights of different types of silks, voiles, lawns, wools. South Asians also know a lot more about tailoring since many items are bespoke. I really wish I knew you in real life so I could help you and give you confidence and maybe take you shopping.
