The Indian salwar kameez is the ultimate fashion stunner for any lady. Women vouch for the salwar kameez with new innovations in cut, style, silhouette and length of the outfits coming up every six months. The modern women rely on the ever-dependable Salwar kameez for regular office wear to party wear too. The salwar has been reinvented to make it a more sensuous and convenient attire.

How is the regular salwar kameez styled?

The regular salwar is like a loose pyjama trouser. It is tightened at the waist by a drawstring and then kept a little loose thereafter and slightly narrowed at the ankle. The kameez is stitched short or long and has slits on the sides. The slit areas are also sometimes embroidered or laced.
Women often combine the Patiala salwar with a short Indo-western tunic with or without slits. Youngsters prefer wearing the Patiala salwarkameez without a dupatta. However, a Patiala salwar and a long kurta is a complete fashion blunder and would look rather awkward.

Why is the Patiala salwarkameez popular?

The Patiala salwarkameez inherits its name from the place Patiala from Punjab. The main highlight is the salwar called Patiala salwar. Interestingly, the Patiala outfit is similar to a pathani suit which was actually worn by men in older days. The outfit was then moulded very beautifully to suit women. The kings of Patiala in old ages were known to exude royalty by wearing Patiala pants.
The speciality of this salwar is that it is a very loose form of salwar and pleats are stitched which enhances the beauty of the salwar. Team a Patiala salwar with a short tunic or a collar-necked kurta and it gives a chic and suave look to the woman.

How is the Patiala salwar stitched to comfort and fashion?

The Patiala salwar is very comfortable and durable especially in the summers as it is a loose garment. The beauty of this salwar is the pleats which are beautifully stitched from below the waist area and meets at the salwar’s bottom. The Patiala outfit is identified by its numerous pleats and hence, more the pleats, the more elegant the Patiala salwarkameez looks.

What are the varieties of Patiala outfits available?

Patiala salwarkameezes are in vogue and one must remember that to stitch a patiala salwar, the dress material should be of 3 to 3.5 metres cloth. The Patiala salwar kameez requires double the cloth than a regular salwar but its charm is alluring.
Patiala outfits are available in many shades like red, blue, green, purple, grey, maroon, black, white and more. The Patiala salwar can be made out of printed or plain cloth and look brilliant in any form.
