Source(google.com.pk)The most worn South Asian clothing is the salwar kameez. Its popularity grew from neighbouring country Afghanistan a few hundred years back and any good fashion history book will tell you that the salwar and kameez was invented to protect one's body from dust storms. -
A salwar *my dictionary has listed it as shalwar but I prefer salwar, - is the trouser portion of the two-piece suit. It's meant to be baggy nearer the top, lined with buckram for stiffer bands around the ankle, traditionally sewn with pleats or loops for a belt for masses of gathered fabric near the waist. And the kameez is a simple full sleeved tunic, typically with side splits for movement. The headscarf (hijab) has many different names depending on which region of Pakistan you're from or which heritage.
Today you see a very different statement being made with the salwar kameez. While in Afghanistan its design hasn't changed pretty much (thankfully), over in India, the celebrity industry has impacted how an otherwise modest dress, is seen the world over. Pakistan has copied many of the shorter, tighter and elaborate kameez designs, while many women in Bangladesh still wear the sari.
India itself has emulated Arab fashion, so you see more 'genie' or 'aladdin' trousers - the wide pants with cuffed ankles - and extravagant embroidery and weaves in the kameez.
'East meets West Here in Britain, always an observer of changing trends, I see my peers wear a varied range of salwar kameez styles from the extremely long tunics to cropped trousers and sleeveless tops. Other materials are used to substitute parts such as lace for full sleeves and rows of sequins for the low-cut necklines. The decorative portions, which are the cuffs, hemlines, neckline and sometimes the mid-back, are cut-away in intricate crafted patterns to reveal a little more skin.
