Although beauty is God gifted, your dressing enhances it. For this purpose there are a lot of dresses that have become popular in the Asian subcontinent. Traditionally saris with blouse, lehnga choli, salwaar kameez are amongst the most popular. The most preferred one amongst these is the salwar kameez, a dress that is easy to use and comfortable to wear. It is both practical and supports a variety of fashion requirements. No wonder then that the dress is worn by both men and women in Pakistan and Afghanistan, but it is most popular amongst the women of India, Srilanka and Bangladesh.
The styling of the dress varies from the simple to the highly stylish. While in its simplest form it consists of a plain vanilla shirt, pajamas or trousers, and a dupatta, the more stylish ones incorporate a variety of designs and cuts to enhance this very plain and simple garment. Naturally, you wouldn’t want to wear the same salwaar kameez that you wear to office to your friend’s reception, would you?
As you go for more stylish patterns, the pattern goes on changing, as some of them may be heavily embroidered along the neck line, some may have embroidery along the rib from the neckline to the thighs. Some kameez may not have the sides open and some pajamas may have tight fitting legs. The quality of the textile may also differ from one salwar kameez to the other as the price range increases. Different names are given to the basic salwar kameez based on the kind of stitching used, some of the most popular ones amongst them are punjabi suits, Indian suits, patiala suits etc.
Along with this suit traditionally you wear something known as a dupatta. It is a loose garment, usually worn on both shoulders covering the neckline and going towards the back, and used to protect the modesty of the woman by covering the upper body. It is also worn sometimes on one of the shoulders etc. With designer suits coming into the market and the pattern of the salwar kameez changing, the way the dupatta is worn has also changed.
Due to the ease with which this dress can be worn and the degree of freedom of movement this dress provides, the dress has become very popular amongst women of all regions. So go ahead and try it as well!
