Parallel Salwar Kameez

Posted by jasnav on February 26, 2008

Salwar kameez is an ever popular garment among Indians. To generate more interest, designers keep thinking of innovative ways to wear it. The new styles and fashions ensure that women keep flocking to the markets in search of the latest designs. One of the new designs of salwar kameez that can at best be considered an updated and modified version is the parallel salwar kameez. This type is particularly popular in the young generation. The best part of this type of parallel suit is that it gives an almost corporate look to the traditional wear.

The salwars are designed just like any straight or parallel pants. The kameez may be short and fitted with a thin scarf like dupatta thrown over the shoulders or around the neck. This type is therefore perfect for office wear and gives a rather modern touch to the old apparel. Also known as the trouser or pant suit, the parallel salwar kameez may come with a narrow or wide belt. Also, unlike the usual salwars, there is no need of tying at waist to hold up; the parallel salwars have elastics, buttons and belts to make the job easier.

The parallel pants also have slits on the sides to make the wearer feel comfortable. Often, the pants are loose and wide at the bottom, almost like the bell bottoms of yesteryears. The flare of the pants can vary widely and depends upon the wearer’s style sense. There may be side chains too, to add more glamour to the pants. The tops are short and sleeveless in most cases. Different types of fabric and embroideries could be used on the top as well as bottom, both of which are color coordinated. Unlike the usual dupattas, these parallel suits have rather narrow duppatas which are color matched with the rest of the ensemble.

A wide range of Parallel Salwaar Kameez can be bought at the most reasonable rates at online stores selling Indian merchandise, such as www.indianselections.com, and  www.indiashack.com
