Salwar Kurta

Salwar Kurta is the most popular, comfortable, convenient and widely worn dress in India. It is popular among women in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and often worn in Afghanistan. Some versions are sometimes called a Punjabi suit, after the Indus valley area called the Punjab. In India, this was traditionally the dress worn in Punjab, but is now worn almost everywhere by all Indian women. Punjabi suits or salwar kurta define the latest trend in Indian fashion garment.


A salwar kurta has 3 parts in its creations:

    * Salwar: Salwars are loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow at the bottom. The legs are pleated or gathered into a waistband with a drawstring. In salwars, the legs are wide which tapers slightly towards the ankles. Traditional Salwar is very comfortable to wear and has lot of space for legs movement.

    * Kurta: The kameez or the kurta is a knee-length flowing shirt or tunic worn over a salwar or churidar. The side seams are left open below the navel, which gives the wearer greater freedom of movement. The tailor's taste and skill are usually displayed in the shape of the neckline and the decoration of the kurta. Traditionally, the kurtas were knee length. But today, short kurtas are also available.

    * Dupatta: A dupatta generally completes the ensemble. When women wear the salwar kameez, they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the head or neck. In ancient time women used to put cloth on their heads for cultural, religious and practical reasons. Gradually this became a part of fashion as well. Today, the dupatta is a stylish accessory that can be worn over one shoulder or draped around the chest and over both shoulders.

Salwar Kameez

Salwar Kameez is the most popular traditional attire worn by the women in India. Due to its popularity in the Punjab region, it is sometimes called the Punjabi suit also. The shalwar is a baggy pajama type of trouser, which has legs wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The kameez is a long shirt or tunic, which often reaches upto the knees. The length of the kameez can vary depending on the latest salwar suit style in fashion.

The salwar is stitched very differently. It has pleats at the waist and is held up by a drawstring or an elastic belt. The middle portion of a salwaar is very wide and baggy, but it gradually tapers down around the ankle. Another variation in salwaar is the churidar style which is a somewhat like a tight trouser, but with its fabric ending in various small folds around the ankles. Usually, Indian women also wear a dupatta across their shoulders, over the salwaar or churidar kameez, as a symbol of modesty

A shalwar kameez can be stitched in almost fabric, like chiffon, georgette, denim, silk, cotton, satin, and so on. It can be simple or heavily embellished, with artificial gem stones and embroidery, depending upon one's personal choice. Though both salwar kameez and sari are traditional Indian dresses for females, you will find more women wearing the former, especially in metros. This is because it is more comfortable and requires, comparatively, less maintenance.

One can choose to wear the salwar kameez in a number of styles. Apart from the traditional ones, one can also buy the ones with a plunging neckline or a halter neck back for a chic look. If confused, you can even ask the tailor to suggest you the latest necklines in fashion. The side seams of the kameez may be split high up to the waistline. When women wear semi-transparent kameez, they wear a choli or a cropped camisole underneath it.

Indian kurtas

Kurti is a type of long shirt worn by both males and females in India, with its length falling either somewhere above or below the knees of the wearer. The Kurta can be categorized as a traditional clothing item and people generally pair it up with loose salwar, churidar pants or trousers. Such Kurti tops can be worn both on a casual everyday basis as well as a formal wear. Indians usually get them stitched by tailors or buy readymade ones from the market.

The make of a Kurta is such that it provides maximum comfort to the wearer. Keeping this aspect in mind, usually very light fabric like cotton and silk are used to make the Kurtis. A typical kurta is simple and made up of rectangular fabric pieces with perhaps a few gusset inserts. The sleeves of a traditional kurta fall straight to the wrist and do not narrow down. One can, however, also choose to get the Kurta embroidered for wearing it during party and other special occasions.

The neck of the traditional Indian kurta is normally round and does not have a collar. However, certain newer variations of the Kurtis flaunt a stand up collar. The Kurta dress is worn by people during the summer season. Those worn during winters are made up of thicker materials like wool as in the state of Kashmir or thick coarse handspun silk that may be mixed with other fabrics. At the sides of the Kurta, the side seams are often left open for 6-12 inches above the hem to give the wearer some ease of movement.

The Kurtas donned on important occasions may feature decorative metal buttons. These may not be stitched to the fabric, but like cufflinks, fastened into the cloth at the time of wearing it. Sometimes, these buttons are decorated with artificial jewels and other similar embellishments. This form of clothing is equally popular with people of both the younger and older generations in India. They wear it with a lot of pride and dignity.
