Salwar Kameez for the Quintessential Indian Look

Remember the delightful Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met? Perhaps the first thing that comes to your mind with that is the bubbly and pretty Salwar Kameez she wore in the movie. With colors and prints that she donned, you can also accentuate the youth and freshness of your personality and the Indian grace embedded in it. There are different kinds of this Asian outfit and they can be bought easily from ethnic wear brands through online shopping sites.

What Kinds of Salwar Kameez are Available?

You can choose your Salwar Kameez from the following varieties available:

•    Patiala- 
The origins of the Patiala version are rather grand. The royal dress of the King of Patiala was a loose, ‘narrowing towards the bottom’ salwar with pleats. Known as the Patiala Salwar today, the outfit inspired by this fashion has knee length tops and the same, albeit stylistically transformed salwars today. Famous as a typical North Indian attire, the Patiala is available widely today on online shopping sites.

•    Churidar-
Churidar is another variety of the flamboyant Salwar Kameez. You can wear a Churidar on parties and other occasions with equal poise. A Churidar best suits shapely legs since the very purpose of it is to accentuate curves. These days, brands like Stop, and Kashish offer Churidars in various colors, along with various kameez and kurta styles.

•    Printed-
Printed Salwar suits are an innovative, classy and yet traditional avatar of the dress. The prints available are floral, floral blocks, blocks, and swirls and loops. Different hemlines and offbeat colors like fuchsia, beige, and off-white are available with printed salwar kameez.

•    Cotton-
These are dresses available in south cotton, pure cotton and blends of cotton with silk and other fabrics. These are good ideas for the summers because of the comfort they provide against the heat. Colors that best suit cotton salwar suits are saffron, beige, maroon, hot pink, and blends of purple with dark pink and henna with gold.

Mix and match dupatta sets are a rage these days. The dupatta and the salwar have common prints to partner a rather subtle kameez. These can be worn at parties and functions and have a youthful appeal.

These days, it is a good idea to buy Salwar Kameez from popular ethnic wear brands that are available easily on online shopping portals. Not only can you choose from a great variety of fabrics and colors, but buy within your budget.
