Knowledgebase - Salwar Kameez

Salwar - Kameez is a traditional (yet worn even by modern Indian women) Indian garment worn originally by North Indian women. The salwar is actually pants made in such a way that it is loose and comfortable all the way through. It is tied at the waist with draw strings. It is worn very similar to draw string pants, the only difference being they are stitched with heavy padding and embroidery around the feet. A 'kameez' or long loose shirt which comes up to the knees is worn on top. This salwar - kameez set can be worn either with or without a 'dupatta' which is a long thin shawl draped over the shoulders. Some of them come with heavy embroidery and rich designs which are usually worn on special occasions.

Salwar - kameez is worn by women of all ages and they consider it an easy alternative to saree in their busy schedule. It is easy to wear yet modest and very versatile when jumping into crowded commuter buses and trains in India where majority of the population resort to public transportation for their daily commute. Some women drape the 'dupatta' or the shawl around their shoulders and some drape it over their head, especially while praying or talking to elderly people in the family as a sign of respect.

Salwar - kameez sets are stitched in different types of fabric: Silk, raw silk, cotton prints, georgettes and so on and so forth. Click here to  find salwars for any price range from the high end.
