Popularly known as the Punjabi suit, the Punjabi salwar kameez suits are the traditional dress of women in the Punjab region of northwestern India and eastern Pakistan. This amazing dress comprises a pair of trousers (salwar) and a tunic (kameez) which is generally paired with a scarf (dupatta). The salwar kameez is considered to have originated from the dresses of the Mughals who were the Muslim rulers of India. Indian, Pakistani ladies and those who belong to other ethnicities also wear the dress, which is considered as being comfortable, affordable and flattering to the figure.
The Trousers (salwar)
The trousers (salwar) are tailored to belong and loose-fitting with small edges above the ankles which are sewed to look like cuffs.
The Kameez
The kameez is commonly paired with a tall, sheer fabric scarf called the dupatta that is either draped across the neck or over the head. The decorative designs may also be stitched around the neckline, sleeves, edges and side slits of the dress.
Modern Variations
The current versions of the kameez are normally sleeveless and are usually tighter than the traditional dress. Moreover, the kameez is not always paired with a salwar as plenty of women today choose to wear their kameez tops over Western-style jeans, skirts and pants.
Like many other styles of dresses, the length and width of the salwar kameez have been impacted by different fashion trends. The width of the trouser cuffs on the salwar has varied from as wide as 30 cm for the “pantaloon” look to as narrow as 10 cm for “harem” pants. The length of the kameez has also shifted from between mid-thigh during the “mini” craze to considerably under the knee during the “midi” phase.
