What is a salwar kameez...? We are Ahaarya, and we know very well
what the Indian salwar kameez is. But for our American customers, we
want you to know just what you can receive if you order some of our
clothing choices online. Yes, the salwar kameez is a traditional Indian
outfit, but it is also something that can be tailored and tweaked to fit
your own personal style—whatever your nationality or ethnicity. We
aren’t about excluding anyone just because the salwar kameez or the
kurti is not necessarily their traditional clothing style. Ahaarya hopes
to bridge gaps and familiarize different cultures with the detailing
and beauty of Indian clothing with our online store.
The salwar kameez is something that is versatile and
worn in many contexts. Essentially it is a top and a bottom, lightweight
and flowing in design. It can be made from different materials, but
mostly it is made from lighter materials such as cotton that will allow
the fabric to be breathable. The top and bottom are longer, so that you
are also protected from the hot Indian sun (as it originated; but of
course you can protect yourself from the sun anywhere with one of these
salwar kameez outfits). The salwar kameez is also something that can be
dressed up or down very easily. Women will often add delicate, beautiful
scarves to add splashes of color as
well as further sun protection. This design has captured the essence of
cooling systems, because it helps to whisk heat and sweat away from the
body while never weighing heavily on the skin. It also looks
intentionally fashionable, however, so it doesn’t seem that the only reason for wearing the salwar kameez is for heat reduction.
