Anarkali Shalwar Suit In India

One particular ensemble that is very visible during festivals is the Anarkali Salwar suit in india, with its colorful variations, traditional-and-classy add-ons such as the dupatta, and intricately-designed neck and sleeve trimmings. While the Shalwar Kameez is the usual, bordering on the ordinary, clothing of some South Asian countries, the Indian shalwar kameez can get nowhere near ordinary. After all, most of these articles of clothing were made with the celebration of festivals in mind.

Salwar kameez is actually a phrase that signifies two parts � the shalwar, which is the bottom or the pants; and the kameez or the blouse. Technically, salwar is loose fitting and narrow in the end. However, there are several versions such as the churidar which is very similar to today�s skinny jeans, where the excess folds appear like bangles, giving it a more exotic appearance.






















The kameez is a tunic, usually straight-cut. However, evolutions in Indian fashion gave rise to several versions such as the poncho type and the ultra-modern sleeveless types with geometric patterns. These tunics are usually embellished with resham, sequins, beads and lace work in the neckline and hem area.
