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.
