About Salwar Suits

salwar-suit-nc-726bThe North western region of India is characterised by salwar suits- the most commonly worn apparel by both genders. Nearly 2000 years ago, this combination of loose flared trousers with a flowing tunic as the upper garment made its debut. Historical records of the royal burials, as far as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir and Punjab reveal the use of this apparel. Modern day salwar suits have now gone overseas and are also called ‘punjabi suits’- as most women from this region wear it. Many Punjabi women migrated to UK and US and continued to wear this typical ethnic wear to keep in touch with their roots in India.

Contemporary salwar suits are worn by most Indian women in many styles, colors and designs. They can be made in any fabric. They can be embellished with embroidery, cut work, mirror work, gold and silver works, chikan, patch work, and laces. Creativity has expanded and one can see crystals, gemstones and diamonds also adorning the tunic and its main accessory dupatta or chunari. The type of salwar suits vary in the entire Northern region. Kashmiri hand work is different from the Punjabi ones. One can find the maximum variety in the Punjabi Salwar Suits. Fashion designers have turned the simple garment to a stylish one which has a global appeal. One can now find suitable suits for causal, formal, bridal wear in many fabrics. Different appealing cuts of the salwar, kameez and choice of dupatta make them priceless or give value for money.
