Tradition is not impervious to some reinventions here and there. Truth be told, this garment can be less conservative and skimpier. Cotton Salwar Kameez may be cut with a plunging neckline, then sewn in diaphanous fabrics, or even styled in sleeveless or cap-sleeve designs.
The side seams of the Cotton salwar kameez may even be split high up to the waistline, worn with the salwar suspended low on the hips.
There is even such a thing as semi-transparent kameez, with only a choli or a cropped camisole underneath it. As such, they make for good party wear. Moreover, female students pair the cotton shalwar kameez with jeans. The summer season by and large sees the most ubiquitous use of Cotton salwar kameez so much so that overkill is apparent.
Both Muslims and Hindus are known to be avid wearers of this raiment. For most women, the Cotton salwar kameez is best worn with a long shawl called a dupatta around the head or neck.
Cotton Kameez Salwar or any other salwar kameez are often worn during Eid, Holi, Diwali, Dussehra, Lohri and all the other festivals. |
