Indian Salwar Kameez or Shalwar Kameez is a dress normally worn by North Indian and traditional dress worn by various peoples of south-central Asia.

Some time is instead of Salwar it is pronounced as Shalwar but basically both are referring to same outfit. The word kameez is derived from the Latin camisia ( shirt or tunic ), from which it probably made its way into various European languages (Chemise) and also into Arabic, the likely immediate source for kameez. Tips on wearing salwar kameez
1. If you are short, then you should make your kameez be a little longer in lenght. This will make you look taller. If your height is around 5 feet 3 inches then your kameez height should be around 47- 48 inches. You can also wear a
Chinese collar (closed neck) makes you look tall.
2. If you have broad shoulders then avoid wearing puffed sleeves or Chinese
collar top as this will make you look wider.

3. If you have fat arms and therefore cannot wear sleeveless then go in for
sleeves of about 5 inches length. This will hide the flab on your arms and your
hands will look thinner.

4. Salwar or shalwar are made in different styles according to the trends and
outfit. Currently Patiala Salwar, Dhoti salwar, Kowl salwar, Double ghair
salwars, Parallel Pants, Trousers like pajamas with short kurtas / tops were in
vogue. You can keep checking our website for latest trends & designs which can

5. Chudidar salwar looks good on long kameez, Anarkali style shirt, Peshwas or
Kurtas which give you a traditional look.

6. If you have a slight belly the you should try and wear a shalwar around your naval area, as it will pull in your stomach and make you look thinner. If you have the tie strings on your side, it reduces the look of the pounch. Tucks might be out of fashion but they give a very good fit to the Kameez. Avoid Organza or any stiff cloth if you want to look slimmer.
