Salwar kameez (also spelled shalwar kameez, salwar kameez, or shalwar qameez); is a traditional dress worn by both women and men in South Asia and parts of Central Asia, specially in Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Shalwar or salwar are loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow at the ankle. The kameez is a long shirt or tunic. The side seams (known as the chaak), left open below the waist-line, give the wearer greater freedom of movement.[1]The word Shalwar comes from the Persian word for trouser, 'shælva:r'.[2] Shalwar are gathered at the waist and held up by a drawstring or an elastic band. The pants can be wide and baggy or more narrow, and even made of fabric cut on the bias.
The kameez is usually cut straight and flat; older kameez use traditional cuts, as shown in the illustration above. Modern kameez are more likely to have European-inspired set-in sleeves. The tailor's taste and skill are usually displayed, not in the overall cut, but in the shape of the neckline and the decoration of the kameez. Modern versions of the feminine kameez can be much less modest than traditional versions. The kameez may be cut with a deep neckline, sewn in diaphanous fabrics, or styled in cap-sleeve or sleeveless designs. The kameez side seams may be split up to the thigh or even the waistline, and it may be worn with the salwar slung low on the hips. When a woman wears a semi-transparent kameez (mostly as a party dress), she wears a choli or a cropped camisole underneath it.
When women wear the salwar kameez, they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the head or neck. For Muslim women, the dupatta is a less stringent alternative to the chador or burqa (see also hijab and purdah). For Sikh and Hindu women (especially those from northern India, where the salwar kameez is most popular), the dupatta is useful when the head must be covered, as in a Gurdwara or a Temple, or the presence of elders. For other women, the dupatta is simply a stylish accessory that can be worn over one shoulder or draped around the chest and over both shoulders.
The Shalwar kameez is sometimes known as "Punjabi suit," in Britain[3] and Canada.[4] In Britain, especially during the last two decades, the garment has been transformed from an everyday garment worn by immigrant South Asian women from the Punjab region to one with mainstream, and even high-fashion, appeal.[5]
In India, the garment was originally confined to the North, but as a convenient and modest alternative to a sari - and also as one that flatters practically any body-type - it has become popular across the nation. By varying the fabric, color and the level of embroidery and decoration, the salwar-kameez can be formal, casual, dressy, or plain; and it can also be made to suit practically all climates.Shalwar is the generic term used to describe the lower garment developed in different regions. The earliest form of the salwar originated in Central Asia amongst the Turks and its use was spread to Afghanistan, India, Iran, the Arab world, Turkey and wherever the Turks established their empires.[6] The Ottomans spread the use of the shalwar throughout its empire.
In Turkic Central Asian culture, the shalwar is accompanied by a tunic. The Ghaznavid Turks also popularised the shalwar/tunic attire in Afghanistan and Northern India. In the Ukraine, the traditional dress for men includes Kozhukh, Kontusz, Żupan and Sharovary (shalwar) which is a variation of the shalwar/tunic combination.
In India, the term shalwar includes the Sindhi suthan, Punjabi suthan, Dogri pajamma and the Kashmiri suthan. A suthan is a very loose lower garment, examples of which can be seen in the pictures, below.
The traditional dress of women in Sindh was the lehnga choli, of women in Kashmir was the Pheran [7] flowing to the ankles, and the peshwaj in Jammu for women, also flowing to the ankles. The traditional dress of women of Punjab was the Punjabi Ghagra and choli/kurti/kameez.[8][9]
Punjab
Originally, Punjabis in west Punjab[10] began to wear the suthan. Its use then spread to neighbouring Sindh, east Punjab[11] Jammu and Kashmir. According to elders, Punjabi women started to combine the suthan with a kurta, kameez or jhaga and sometimes would replace the suthan with a pajamma, which would then be covered with a ghagra when going outdoors.[12] This tradition, only dying out relatively late in east Punjab: approx. 1950’s circa. Eventually, the suthan was replaced with the salwar to form the salwar kameez outfit.[13] [14] It is this outfit which is very popular. [15] [16]
Needless to say, the suthan and the salwar is also part of men's wear.
Jammu
People in Jammu have changed the traditional attire from the peshwaj[17] to the kurta and Dogri pajjamma.
Kashmir
The Pheran in Kashmir has been combined with the suthan with some people wearing the Pheran to below the knees. Kashyap Bandhu is regarded as the person responsible for spreading the use of the suthan with the Pheran amongst the communities that resisted to adopt its use, eventually leading to the use of the shalwar.
Sindh
In Sindh, the traditional lengha choli became to be complimented with the cholo (boddice), paro (petticoat) and suthan.[18][19]
Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, the traditional male dress is the Khat partoog. The Khat is the tunic, similar to a robe and the partoog is the Afghanistan shalwar, with multiple pleats. However, the shalwar kameez (known as peran tomban or the Pathani suit[20]) is also worn as an alternative to the khat partoog which has become popular since the 1990's.[21]
Elsewhere in India, Muslim communities have traditionally worn the style of shalwar worn by the Mughals combining them with Mughal upper garments such as the jamma.
