Every waistcoat in the Real Image collection comes in a colour chosen for a reason — some are built for everyday wear, others for Eid mornings, and a few are reserved for the richest wedding functions. Instead of a generic colour guide, this is a breakdown of the actual shades you'll find across the collection, what fabric each typically appears in, and where each one fits best.
The full range, left to right: Maroon → Black → Navy → Bottle Green → Grey Brown → Gold → Cream → Sea Blue → Ice Blue → Beige → Mehndi → Peach Gold
The Collection, Colour by Colour
OKW-001
Maroon
Banarsi silk. The most classic, most versatile shade in the range — deep and warm, holds its richness under both daylight and evening event lighting.
Wedding & Festive
OKW-003
Black
Shamoose silk with a glossy finish and tonal zari embroidery — black on black. Sharp, elegant, and photographs cleanly in low light.
Formal & Evening
OKW-008
Navy Blue
Raw silk finish. A dependable, versatile alternative to black or maroon that works across nearly every formal-to-festive occasion.
Versatile
OKW-048A
Bottle / Dark Green
A deep, elegant green that reads as festive without being loud — one of the stronger choices for winter wedding season.
Winter Wedding
OKW-007
Grey Brown
Jamawar fabric with a geometric weave and thread work. A muted, earthy tone that sits comfortably between casual and festive.
Everyday-Festive
OKW-019 / OKW-120
Gold
Raw silk finish. A bold, statement shade best reserved for the most festive functions — Eid, mehndi, or baraat.
Statement Festive
OKW-023
Cream
Raw silk finish. A soft neutral that layers easily under a richer coat or over a plain kameez without competing for attention.
Layering & Base Tone
WP-140
Sea Blue
Jamawar fabric with gold zari detailing. A lighter, more unexpected festive tone that stands out without going as bold as gold or maroon.
Festive, Understated
OKW-041
Ice Blue
A cool, pale tone that works especially well for daytime summer functions when paired with a deeper accent piece for contrast.
Summer Daytime
OKW-036
Beige
Suiting fabric with a woven design. The most understated, everyday-friendly shade in the range — pairs with almost anything.
Everyday
OKW-022 / OWP-022
Mehndi
Named for the occasion it's built for. A muted olive-green tone that fits the daytime, festive mood of a mehndi function precisely.
Mehndi
WP-141
Peach Gold
Jamawar fabric in a light peach-pink base with gold zari work. A softer festive option for men who want warmth without going as deep as maroon.
Soft Festive
