Armadio is all about style, suave, and sensuality. When you walk into the store, you will find yourself in a space that calls for confidence and poise. Each of Armadio's outfits are designed to make you feel special. The sleek cuts, perfectly tailored fit and high quality fabrics all work together to give an elegant look. The outfits are comfortable and at the same time trend-setting.

The fashion house is known for its western clothing line, with their collections featuring male and female suits and blazers, tops, jumpsuits, kurtis, casual and formal dresses. Often times imported western outfits do not fit with the average size of Bangladeshis because of the difference in height and structure with people in the west. 

Armadio noticed this need for perfectly tailored outfits and started making clothes by studying the average structure of Bangladeshi men and women. The outfits are cut in such a way that they are tapered and figure flattering.

There is an in-house tailor who takes orders on suits, blazers and dresses. You can choose from the available fabrics in the store, with prices ranging from Tk. 1000-3500 per yard. You can also bring your own fabrics and designs and you will get your outfit ready in one to two weeks. The average cost of tailoring for suits is Tk. 5000, for tuxedos Tk. 11000 and for blazers Tk. 4000. The cost of making dresses depends on the design and fabric material.

The spring and summer collection at Armadio evokes comfort and colour. The materials for tops and dresses are mostly cottons, linens, fine silk and georgettes. The summer suits for men and women are made from cotton, linen, light velvet, cord and stretch materials that ensure your comfort in the hot and humid season. Vibrant colours such as peaches, oranges, sapphires, corals, yellows and pearly creams are used to design the outfits. 

Many say that it is best to wear whites in summer, but wearers run the risk of their clothes getting dirty easily. Bright colours do not absorb much heat and prevent dust from showing. Stripes, polkas, lace, pleats, chequered patterns and fun buttons and embellishments are used to bring a fashion edge and designer look.

Armadio believes that the way you dress projects your personality. The printed palazzos with pleated tops, yellow crushed summer dress with shoulder panels, striped dress with pockets, polka jumpsuits and floral georgette dress are perfect for a casual hang out with friends. The royal blue wrap and stretch twist dresses and gowns are great for parties.

There are blazers in hot pink, warm peaches and gorgeous blacks that you can pair with the dresses and tops. For men, the velvet jacket with pants or summer suits give a well put together yet casual look for a party or a date.
The high quality and modern outfits are reasonably priced. For men's outfits, prices range from Tk. 4500-6000 for blazers and Tk. 8000-15000 for suits. For women's outfits, prices range from Tk. 2800-4000 for blazers, Tk. 1300-3000 for kurtis, Tk. 900-2700 for tops, Tk. 700-1000 for palazzos and pants, Tk. 3200-5400 for jumpsuits, Tk. 5000-Tk. 12000 for gowns and Tk. 2000-4000 for casual and cocktail dresses.
