of a long shirt or tunic called the Kameez, worn over a pant like clothing,
called a Salwar, also spelled as Shalwar. The whole ensemble along with a
long scarf like over-wear, called the dupatta, is known as Salwar Kameez. Ladies Salwar Suit are trousers which are atypically wide at the waist
but which narrow to a cuffed bottom. They are held up by a drawstring or
elastic belt, which causes them to become pleated around the waist. The
pants can be wide and baggy, or they can be cut quite narrow, on the bias.

Salwars
have been traditionally worn in a wide region which includes Eastern Europe,
West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia. The Kameez is a long shirt
or tunic. The kameez may have a European-style collar, a Mandarin-collar,
or it may be collarless; in the latter case, its design as a women's garment is
similar to a kurta. The combination garment is sometimes called salwar
kurta, salwar suit. When women wear the salwar-kameez in some regions,
they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the
head or neck.
