It is the beauty of Ajrak , it is gender independent and weather independent.
I am a man with a plan. A plan to live a simple , fulfilling life.

i think the term ajrak refers to a sindhi shawl. They are usually the typical ethnic print. My uncle is sindhi and talks about them and his are the black dark maroon and white ones.

It can be worn in any season.

ajrak is typically not worn in summer because it is unsuitable/uncomfortable in the heat.

ajrak is the sindhi shawl.. however ajrak is reffered to more as a design itself than a particular type of shawl...
there are ajrak bed sheets, shawls, suits...
so i guess it depends on the fabric of ur ajrak shawl... if its closer to a heavy cotton it might be wise to use it with an airy lawn-ish shirt.
