The Indian salwar kameez is the
ultimate fashion stunner for any lady. Women vouch for the patiala
suits and salwar kameez with new innovations in cut, style, silhouette
and length of the outfits coming up every six months. The modern women rely on
the ever-dependable Salwar kameez for regular office wear to party wear too. The
salwar has been reinvented to make it a more sensuous and convenient attire.
Why is the Patiala salwar kameez
popular?
The Patiala salwar kameez
inherits its name from the place Patiala from Punjab. The main highlight is the
salwar called Patiala salwar. Interestingly, the Patiala outfit is similar to a
pathani suit which was actually worn by men in older days. The outfit was then
moulded very beautifully to suit women. The kings of Patiala in old ages were
known to exude royalty by wearing Patiala pants.
The speciality of this salwar is
that it is a very loose form of salwar and pleats are stitched which enhances
the beauty of the salwar. Team a Patiala salwar with a short tunic or a
collar-necked kurta and it gives a chic and suave look to the woman.
How is the regular salwar kameez
styled?
The regular salwar is like a
loose pyjama trouser. It is tightened at the waist by a drawstring and then
kept a little loose thereafter and slightly narrowed at the ankle. The kameez
is stitched short or long and has slits on the sides. The slit areas are also
sometimes embroidered or laced.
Women often combine the Patiala
salwar with a short Indo-western tunic with or without slits. Youngsters prefer
wearing the Patiala
salwar kameez without a dupatta. However, a Patiala salwar and a long kurta is
a complete fashion blunder and would look rather awkward.
How is the Patiala salwar
stitched to comfort and fashion?
The Patiala salwar is very
comfortable and durable especially in the summers as it is a loose garment. The
beauty of this salwar is the pleats which are beautifully stitched from below
the waist area and meets at the salwar's bottom. The Patiala outfit is
identified by its numerous pleats and hence, more the pleats, the more elegant
the Patiala salwar kameez looks.
What are the varieties of Patiala
outfits available?
Patiala salwar kameez are in
vogue and one must remember that to stitch a patiala salwar, the dress material
should be of 3 to 3.5 metres cloth. The Patiala salwar requires double the
cloth than a regular salwar but its charm is alluring.
Patiala outfits are available in
many shades like red, blue, green, purple, grey, maroon, black, white and more.
The Patiala salwar can be made out of printed or plain cloth and look brilliant
in any form.
