Jugnu Karandi AW26 Nigah is an ivory and black embroidered karandi suit from the Jugnu Karandi AW26 collection, the autumn-winter 2026 edit by Jugnu. Nigah is built on contrast: an ivory karandi shirt with monochrome traditional embroidery and a black karandi shawl finished with an embroidered pallu and border. The trouser is plain dyed karandi, so the shirt and shawl carry the detail. It is sold on Aangan as an original, unstitched 3-piece Pakistani winter suit for festive wear and formal occasions in India.
About the Jugnu Karandi AW26 Collection
Karandi AW26 is Jugnu's first winter edit for 2026: ten unstitched karandi suits in deep, seasonal colours, each finished with traditional or floral embroidery and paired with either a chiffon dupatta or a karandi shawl. The collection is designed for the cooler months, when lawn feels too light but you still want a suit that looks festive and polished. Nigah is one of the ten designs.
What Is Karandi Fabric?
Karandi is a textured, medium-weight winter fabric with a slightly coarse, woven feel. It is warmer than lawn or cambric, holds its shape well and has a soft, matte surface that shows embroidery clearly. Because it is breathable rather than heavy, karandi is comfortable for long winter days indoors and outdoors, from morning functions to late dinners.
Design and Embroidery
The Nigah shirt is ivory karandi with monochrome traditional embroidery placed across separate front panels, so the work sits exactly where it is meant to once stitched. In the brand's photos it is styled as a long shirt with bell sleeves and dyed culottes, but because the suit is unstitched, you and your tailor decide the final cut.
The karandi shawl is made from the same warm fabric as the suit, so it doubles as a wrap on cold evenings and keeps the whole outfit coordinated.
What the Set Includes
Nigah is a 3-piece unstitched set: an embroidered karandi shirt, a karandi shawl and a karandi trouser. The full list of components from the brand's listing is below.
Shirt
Embroidered front centre panel (1 piece). Embroidered front right panel (1 piece). Embroidered front left panel (1 piece). Dyed back (0.78 metre). Embroidered sleeve right and left panels (4 pieces). Embroidered side extension and arm hole border (3 metres). Embroidered ban (collar) border (0.50 metre).
Shawl

Trouser
Dyed karandi trouser (2 metres).
Stitching Ideas
Share your measurements and the product photos with your tailor before cutting, and plan where each embroidered panel and border will sit. A long straight or A-line shirt shows the panel embroidery best, and borders should be placed at the hem, sleeves or neckline exactly as the brand intended. Karandi stitches cleanly and does not need heavy lining, but a soft lining can add comfort. Aangan does not offer a stitching service, and this suit is not ready-to-wear.
When to Wear Nigah
It suits winter weddings as a guest look, formal dinners, office festivities and evening gatherings where a classic black-and-ivory pairing stands out. For daytime, keep jewellery minimal and let the embroidery lead. For evening functions, add statement earrings, a clutch and embellished khussas, and wear the shawl draped over one shoulder.
Choosing a Pakistani Winter Suit in India
Winter suits are worn far more often than heavy formals: to work events, family visits, festive dinners and weddings where you are a guest. When comparing Pakistani winter suits, look at three things: the fabric (karandi, khaddar or linen), how much of the shirt is embroidered, and whether the dupatta or shawl is finished to the same standard. Nigah has embroidery on the shirt panels plus an embroidered shawl, which is what makes it read as a festive outfit rather than a plain winter suit.
