The World's Popular Indian salwar kameez at Ahaarya


The Indian salwar kameez has had a long history in the East, and has served both useful and fashionable purposes for most all people, regardless of age, social status, or beliefs. The salwar kameez is a staple of basic Indian fashions. This blog will describe a bit of the history of the Indian salwar kameez, to let customers know what’s behind the beautiful garments they are wearing from Ahaarya. 

 Despite many changes and westernizing of Indian fashion, the salwar kameez has remained an important and typical part of Indian life. This is likely because the salwar kameez actually helps to cool the body on very hot, Indian days. The fabrics are light weight and are chosen specifically so they do not stick to the body.

 The salwar kameez is traditionally cut straight, but it has also changed a bit with time. There are different cuts and designs now, as it has mixed with Western fashion tastes as well as morphing Indian fashion tastes. Wearers of the salwar kameez can still traditionally add decoration to the dress with a stole, called a dupatta. It is a scarf-like fabric piece made of silk, usually. For younger people, the dupatta is a stylish accessory that can be worn over the shoulder or draped around the chest and both shoulders. For older generations, the dupatta helps to add conservativeness in dress that is valued.  

Indian Salwar Kameez – the phenomenal attire for Indian women

We carry many different Indian and Asian articles of clothing at Ahaarya, including the Indian salwar kameez, the kurti, and different flowing, colorful skirts. We carry designer kurtis that are more stylized than your standard kurti, yet they are still accessible and affordable for most people. This blog will talk a bit about what a kurti is, and what sorts of options you have in terms of designer kurtis, in particular.

 Kurtis are simply lightweight tunics, usually made from silk or cotton. They usually fall to about the mid-thigh and are flowy, beautiful, and can be very artful. Mostly, however, standard kurtis are relatively simple and are worn on common days.

Designer kurtis, on the other hand, can be highly stylized and have intricate designs. They are created by different professional designers and come in dressier varieties, so people may wear them on special occasions. Some designer kurtis have sheer sections so that you can see through the fabric and reveal a bit of skin, yet it in a classy sort of way. The high variability in designer kurtis makes shopping at Ahaarya exciting and full of choices. There are sleeveless kurtis, children’s designer kurtis, and more. For whatever occasion you’re looking for, there is most likely a delightful designer kurti out there that will satisfy your needs and tastes.

Kurti, the Most Comfortable Fashion Wear


At Ahaarya, we sell a great array of different designer kurtis, the Indian salwar kameez, blouses, accessories, and more. We bring the high and unique fashion of India to America and the rest of the world, which allows people to taste the variety and wonderful flavors of life, and the East. This blog will take a little time to explain to you just what an Indian salwar kameez is, because many Westerners aren’t familiar with that garment.

 First, there are different designs of salwar kameez garments. For example, we carry the silk churidar kameez, a simple black kameez, a cotton kameez, and a red and green Patiala salwar kameez. Each has different designs and colors, textures, and fabrics. The basic garment is the simple salwar kameez.

If you were to define the salwar kameez, it is simply a type of traditional clothing worn by both women and men in South Asia and Central Asia, which of course, includes India. The “salwar” are loose pajama-like bottoms or pants. The legs are wide at the top and become narrower as you move toward the ankle. The “kameez” is the long shirt or tunic. There are side seams on the kameez that can be left open below the waist-line, which allows the person greater movement if desired. 

So, an Indian salwar kameez is the Ahaarya or Indian version of the salwar kameez of Asia. It’s a two-piece garment, light in weight, and can be very colorful and intricate in design, or simple and solid in color (usually men prefer the simple version). You can find these at Ahaarya for affordable prices.

Right Ways to Find the Best Designer kurtis Online

My sister loves India! She went there last year for a yoga retreat. It was a really big event, her first time leaving the country, and her first time really devoting herself to the ancient practice of yoga. Yoga has deep roots in Indian culture. My sister was already getting into that stuff before she went. She talked about wanting to buy some Bollywood Indian fashion clothing or else a designer kurti for before she left. She thought it would help her transition! I thought that it seemed silly and unnecessary.

But as her birthday approached, I realized it could be a good gift. I searched online for designer Bollywood Indian fashions and I came across Ahaarya. When I clicked their homepage, I knew this place would be right for my sister. She bought two more designer kurtis and a few accessories of Bollywood Indian fashion, after I bought her a fine-crafted handbag. It was an amazing birthday, and it helped me realize again that physical things actually matter. How you look affects how you feel which affects what you do. Believe it! She’s doing awesome right now, teaching yoga.
