Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

I’m just about to go to Pakistan for my shaadi in April, but here in the US I have no idea what styles are “in” in pakistan right now, I thought it was “short” kameez (right above the knee, or perhaps a little lower) but I’ve been hearing that longer kameez is now in fashion? Ahhh!!! I just bought so many suits in shorter kameez! Anyone “in the know” please fill me in!

And what other styles are popular right now? Churidar? Anarkali suits? How about antique-work kaam? What colors are the hottest right now? Bright colors or pastels or dark colors…?

Thank you ladies!

Are the kameez-paired-with-pants still popular?

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

Officially longer kameezes r INN but i still c most of the people wearing the shorter kameezes.

And i have heard that anarkali suits r inn 2...nt 2 sure on that!!!

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

oh no!! How "long"? A kameez just below the knee, or mid-calf?

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

just about knee length. nothing mid-thigh, or mid-calf.

shirts are still being paired with straight-legged pants/pajamas. shalwars are normal. apparently white shalwars are being paired with any colored shirt.

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

white shalwars are in for this summer. :k: seems like that so far. Shirts are of medium length but the larhkiyan baliyan still sticking to short shirts :barbie: welland why not. it really really suits them so well :bulbuli: :slight_smile:

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

:CareBear: dun worry gurl. Whatever one wears is the fashion :k:

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

^ i love patialas.. with short shirts and capris with longer shirts ..

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

Actually i think they r suppose 2 be below the knee...ok now lol @ my suppose 2...hehe ofcourse u can vary it but the INN thing is below knee.

lotuseater- i wud personally advice u 2 go for wat u like 2 wear n feel comfortable in, instead of goin for the INN thing and ending up lookin uncomfortable.

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

such long shirts are in.. tobahhh ,, so not practical.. and with what kind of shalwars.. ??

i prefer them shorter.. and it so depends on ur height weight shape etc ec.. right..

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

Same for me...i prefer shorter shirt anyday. But i believe longer shirt luks really kool on a tall girl which i m nt so ya 2 bad :P

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

I've been sticking with knee length. Seems to be a safe neutral, particularly for heavy, expensive suits that I want to last. For the less expensive ones you can experiment with the latest trend.

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

Length of the kameez is long now..any color and fabric is being worn with cream less "ghair" wali shalwars and capri's of every length are IN! Capri's with lace..and layering is also popular =)

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

Are Anarkali suits still in? My mom bought me 2 expensive ones that were on sale and then I started to wonder if they were on sale because they are going out...? I sure hope not!!

Re: Shalwar Kameez lengths/ styles nowadays?

^ no they are very much inn...
