Pakistanis have maintained a reputation of radiating elegance when it comes to conservative clothing. Though controversial, Pakistani politicians too are undoubtedly fashionable, and are perfect examples of the country's bright (or not so bright?) minds standing out for their daily grind in well-clad armor.

Here's our pick of the ten most stylish politicians of Pakistan.

1. Hina Rabbani Khar

Pakistan's former foreign minister and a polo enthusiast, Hina is the epitome of grace when it comes to conservative fashion. Her understated pearls, Roberto Cavalli shades and the famous Birkin and Chanel totes are just a few staples she has stunned the world with.

Pervez Musharraf served as the tenth President of Pakistan and is undoubtedly one of the most stylist leaders Pakistan has seen. His distinctive, sharp suits compliment his intense personality.

Rehan Wani | 7 years ago | Reply ET you missed the former Foreign Minister Sahibzada Yaqoob Khan.
Lubna Farid | 7 years ago | Reply I think Col.Shuja Khanzada (shaheed) was by far the.most most well dressed, and by far most handsome as compared to the rest. So well spoken. Was a pleasure to see on TV and in Newspapers and magazines. He was no less than a hollywood star. And his attire and good looks never depended upon the brand he wore. Whatever he wore he wore it BEST. Most dynamic personality. May Allah rest his soul in peace. Ameen
