The ladies salwar suit consists 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. Salwars 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.

| Ladies kurti |
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 shalwar-kameez in some regions, they usually wear a long scarf or shawl called a dupatta around the head or neck.
