Patiala Salwar Kameez; Fashionable and Popular

Posted by jasnav on September 3, 2008

Patiala Salwar Kameez is considered to be the all-time favorite dress of the Punjabis and it has also spread far and wide now becoming the latest trend within India and abroad too. Nobody might have ever thought in their dreams that this typical traditional wear will become as popular as it is now. Now, Patiala salwar kameez is worn by everyone from the village girls to the hot and trendy city chics to be as fashionable, trendy as well as traditional at the same time.

Like any other thing, there is also a remarkable history for Patiala salwar kameez. It was the dress worn by the King of Patiala for reasons of comfort and for brightening up his personality. The dress worn then can best be described as baggy type trousers called as salwar with a full sleeved, long and loose tunic called as the kameez. Thus it got its name as Patiala Salwar Kameez.

The dress has since evolved greatly to make it more trendy and fashionable with no limitations on the size of the sleeve, front or back neckline or even the design. It can be stitched from different materials including cotton, chiffon, crape, georgette, silk and many others.

It can be worn as a formal wear in parties and other occasions and also as a casual wear marking the latest trend. For the wedding purpose, you can find kundan works and other stone embroideries on the kameez and a heavily embellished dupatta having the same design as that of the Patiala salwar. It really adds to the entire look of the individual thus giving a royal look in the overall appearance. By wearing the Patiala salwar kameez, the need for a necklace is also negated as you just look amazing without it as well. Long earrings can add to the glimpse of the entire attire!

So go ahead and get your set today!
