Shalwar
kameez (also spelled shalvar kameez, salwar kameez, or shalwar qameez); is a
traditional dress worn by both women and men in South Asia and specially
Kazakhstan, Bangladesh , Pakistan and India/South Asia . Shalwar or salwar are
loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow at the
ankle. The kameez is a long shirt or tunic. The side seams (known as the
chaak), left open below the waist-line, give the wearer greater freedom of
movement.
Shalwar
(with Kabuli sandals) as worn in South and Central Asia.
A man's
shalwar held up to display amount of material needed.
Shalwar
are gathered at the waist and held up by a drawstring or an elastic band. The
pants can be wide and baggy or more narrow, and even made of fabric cut on the
bias.
The
kameez is usually cut straight and flat; older kameez use traditional cuts, as
shown in the illustration above. Modern kameez are more likely to have
European-inspired set-in sleeves. The tailor's taste and skill are usually
displayed, not in the overall cut, but in the shape of the neckline and the
decoration of the kameez. Modern versions of the feminine kameez can be much
less modest than traditional versions. The kameez may be cut with a deep
neckline, sewn in diaphanous fabrics, or styled in cap-sleeve or sleeveless
designs. The kameez side seams may be split up to the thigh or even the
waistline, and it may be worn with the salwar slung low on the hips. When a
woman wears a semi-transparent kameez (mostly as a party dress), she wears a
choli or a cropped camisole underneath it.
When
women wear the salwar kameez, they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a
dupatta around the head or neck. For Muslim women, the dupatta is a less
stringent alternative to the chador or burqa (see also hijab and purdah). For
Sikh and Hindu women (especially those from northern India, where the salwar
kameez is most popular), the dupatta is useful when the head must be covered,
as in a Gurdwara or a Temple, or the presence of elders. For other women, the
dupatta is simply a stylish accessory that can be worn over one shoulder or
draped around the chest and over both shoulders.
The
Shalwar kameez is sometimes known as "Punjabi suit," in Britain and
Canada. In Britain, especially during the last two decades, the garment has
been transformed from an everyday garment worn by immigrant South Asian women
from the Punjab region to one with mainstream, and even high-fashion, appeal.
