The salwar kameez is a traditional garment from India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. It consists of loose pants called salwar and a long tunic called a kameez. Modern salwar kameez styles include anarkali kameez with a flared skirt, patiala salwar with baggy pants, and churidar salwar with tightly fitted pants. The salwar kameez has evolved from a regional court garment to a national urban outfit and global fashion item.
