One of the types of salwar kameez is churidar salwar kameez. It is somewhat different form the traditional ones and has a different look and feel. In this kind of salwar kameez, the salwar or the pants are much tighter. They have tight fitting at the hips and continue like this all along the thighs up to the ankles. You could almost consider them to be leggings except, they may be made of cotton or silk.

Just like the other salwars, this one too is tied at the waist. The main advantage of this type of salwars is that it is not very baggy and so allows the wearer more freedom of movement. The tight fit ensures that you do not have to worry about the end of the pant getting dirty as they end just at the ankle. You also get more chance to show off your best designer footwear in this type of salwars. As the salwar in churidar types go below your knee, the fabric is bunched up and gathered at the lower leg and ankle. This means the actual length of these pants must be greater than the length of your legs. The crinkling and creasing at the ankle gives a unique look and also makes your legs look longer.

For this reason this type is very popular with tall girls who can show off their long legs with the tight fitted pants. The disadvantage of this type of salwar kameez is that it may be uncomfortable for those who prefer loose fitting clothes. Since the salwar must be skin tight, even the smallest weight gain might make it difficult for you to pull those shrunken leggings through your legs.

The top for this type can be of any type. You can let your fancy rule in the top section, though most women prefer wearing longer kameez with the tight churidars.
