Shalwar Kameez

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Shalwar kameez-alternatively salwar kameez or shalwar qameez-is a traditional dress worn by both women and men in South Asia and Central Asia. Shalwar are loose pajama-like trousers. The legs are wide at the top and narrow at the ankle. The kameez 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. Shalwar are gathered at the waist and held up by a drawstring or an elastic band.
