Who says India lacks fashion? Who says India does not set the trend round the globe? India is known to have been under the western influence. That influence has been on everything we do, everything we believe, everything we eat and everything we wear. Race for the so called ‘western culture’ has reached its peak in the northern India. But that’s just one side of the coin.

The other side of the coin no one bothers to see, which says the Indian influence on the western countries. You don’t believe this one? Ever try seeing a foreigner female in Indian salwar suits and you will get to believe the other side of the coin.

In India, salwar suits are said to be Punjabi dress and is said to be most common in Punjab only, but that’s not true. It is as common in the other regions of India as well. Salwar suits happen to be as popular as sari in India.

Describing about the dress, salwar is a loose trouser whose legs are loose at the top and gets narrow at the bottom. The kameez is a long tunic, in which the side seams are left opened from waist line for free movement of legs.

Women when wear salwar suits, she takes a long clothe of 1.5 or 2 meter along with it. This cloth is called “duppata”.

Duppata is taken around the neck.

Salwar suits have become a most sorted after dress for formal gathering in India and abroad. The traditional dress has got modernized these days. It’s modernized by keeping the kameez sleeveless, having appealing neck lines for the kameez, using a stylish fabric as well. The modernizations of salwar suits have set a trend outside India as well. And hence this Indian dress has somehow taken indianised the western culture just like the Indian culture has been westernized.
