Shalwar kameez (also spelt shalwar kameez or shalwar qameez), Urdu: شلوار قمیض is the dress worn by both women and men in northern South Asia and Central Asia. It is a unisex dress similar in manner to shirt and pants worn by both women and men in the west. Traditionally, it has been worn in Afghanistan and Pakistan. From the last century, women in India have adopted this dress in place of the sari, the traditional dress of India. Shalwar or salwar (as pronounced in India) are loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top, and narrow at the ankle. The kamees 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.

Garments cut like the traditional kameez are known in many cultures; according to Dorothy Burnham, of the Royal Ontario Museum, the "seamless shirt," woven in one piece on warp-weighted looms, was superseded in early Roman times by cloth woven on vertical looms and carefully pieced so as not to waste any cloth. 10th century cotton shirts recovered from the Egyptian desert are cut much like the traditional kameez or the contemporary Egyptian jellabah or galabia.[2]
Salwar kameez dates back to the 12th century, the Islamic or the Iranian era, which was then followed by the Mughal empire in the region now called Pakistan and India.
The pants, or shalawar, are known as shalvaar qameez Urdu: شلوار قمیض in Urdu, salvaar or shalvaar शलवार क़मीज़ in Hindi, salvar in Punjabi: ਸਲਵਾਰ ਕ਼ਮੀਜ਼ and salvaar or shalvaar શલવાર કમીઝ in Gujarati. The word comes from the Persian: شلوار, meaning pants.The shirt, kameez or qamiz, takes its name from the Arabic qamis. There are two main hypotheses regarding the origin of the Arabic word, namely:
that Arabic qamis is derived from the Latin camisia (shirt), which in its turn comes from the Proto-Indo-European kem (‘cloak’).[3]
that Mediaeval Latin camisia is a borrowing through Hellenistic Greek kamision from the Central Semitic root “qmṣ”, represented by Ugaritic qmṣ (‘garment’) and Arabic qamīṣ (‘shirt’).
