Suit and Salwar Design Biography

Shalwar (also referred to as pajama, lehnga for men) - pants

Kameez  (or kurta or kurti) - top or shirt or knee length dress

Shalwar Kameez - Salwar Kameez - Punjabi Suit - Churidar

Just like how women and men wear pants and shirts or business casual clothing, similarly, in South Asian countries, men and women wear shalwar kameez as their daily mode of dressing. I used to wear shalwar kameez daily to work and at home. The outfits for work were elegant the ones worn at home were simple, mostly cotton because of the hot climate. Tradtionally, shalwar kameez was worn in Afghanistan and Pakistan but then spread to India.

Just like sari, shalwar kameez comes in simple and pricey variations. Shalwar Kameez can cost from $20 to $500 and sometimes more depending on the occasions. You can get them in cotton, chiffon, cotton silk and pure silk, polyester and combination of cotton/polyester.

When I don't want to wear the shalwar, I usually switch it with black leggings. Gives the whole outfit a slightly more elegant look.

Another variation both for men and women is that the pants come like skinny jeans. I personally find this trendier than wearing the loose pants.
