International celebrities like Goldie Hawn, Sally Field, Hillary Clinton, Jennifer Lopez and the Late Princess Diana are known to have adorned the Salwar (Shalwar) kameez at high profile events. This Indian traditional garment is not only beginning to gain zest in the West but has also become the new entrant in the fashion world. It is fast gaining popularity with women worldwide especially south Asian teenagers. So how would one describe a salwar kameez? Salwars are pajama-like trousers gathered around the waist and ankles, worn underneath a long, loose tunic known as a kameez. A duppata or scarf/stole is often draped over the garment.

Then again, a Salwar kameez with modifications is launched every other season to add newer appeal to the garment yet retain its feminine charm. The salwar, for instance, can be alternately substituted with a tight fitting churidar for a trendier look or a parallel fitting trouser for the corporate look. Similarly, every now and then the kameez can be swapped with long flowing anarkali for a more graceful appearance or a shorter kurta (tunic) for a chic look.

Mumbai is just the ideal location for salwar kameez shopping!! You will get the largest variety displaying innumerable styles, different materials, vibrant colors and several designs in the city. While materials like silks, satins and heavy brocades are great and flowing for the winters, cool cottons with tie and dye prints make their rounds each summer. All these options will leave a new shopper terribly confused!! However, MyMumbaiShopping will help you select a salwar kameez that complements your figure as well as accentuates your overall appearance.

Further, shopping venues for a salwar kameez could vary from street markets to luxury designer boutiques. The street markets offer economically priced unstitched materials or readymade salwar kameezes.
