During the Mughal era, women’s dress of the empire consisted of close fitting trousers paired with a bodice (called Angharakha or Kameez) that came down to the end of the Salwar and worn with a half-sleeved embroidered open Jacket with a delicate transparent Shawl (called Paramnarm meaning extremely soft) draped like a sari.
Salwar Kameez is worn by men too. Especially, those who follow religious values and those who look for comfort and freedom of movement. The men’s designs are very different from women. Men’s Salwar Kameez is also known as Kurta Salwar or Kurta Pajama. Salwar is a loose flowing trousers narrowing down to the ankle with a draw string at waist to adjust to different waist sizes. The Pajama is similar to the salwar at the top but is more of a ‘drain pipe’ and tighter design along the legs. Kurta for men is straight cut long shirt/tunic with slits at sides to facilitate easy movement and is worn over the Salwar or Pajama.Like all clothes, the Salwar Kameez has also transformed with time to suit the current day demand of the modern South Asian women.The fashion industry has converted the Salwar Kameez from a regional court garment to the national urban outfit for women.The cut of the Salwar Kameez has changed with  fashion trends. It’s been fused with various traditional combinations like the Laccha , Gharara, Sharara, Ghagra Choli etc. Contemporary styles have been developed such as ‘Trouser Suits’ – trousers with outside hem slits have replaced the traditional Salwar and the Kameez is cut shorter and more fitted, and the Dupatta is no longer worn with many of the contemporary styles. Even with the changes in time it still remains an outfit that projects comfort and elegance.The Salwar Kameez today has a very rich history and is an adaptation of the clothing from the Mughal era.
