Posted by Rahul Agarwal on November 5th, 2016

Next to the saree, the salwar kameez is a popular choice for traditional Indian wear particularly with women in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Punjab. The popularity of the salwar kameez has become widespread throughout India, especially women who want to wear traditional clothing that is more comfortable and will not restrict their movements. The presence of online marketplaces that carries a wide range of Indian products from many different local stores have made it easier to shop for a salwar kameez. In fact, shopping online lets you find the best styles at affordable prices. Here are tips that can help you pick a stylish and reasonably priced salwar kameez online:  

• Buy wholesale or retail, with free shipping – Look for an online Indian shopping bazaar that is based in the US, and make sure that they represent reputable South Asian and Indian merchants in one place. Explore deals, like free shipping in the United States, as well as sales and discounts on the latest styles in Indian apparel. 

• Learn about the features of the salwar kameez – Examine the fabric and the style to make sure that both factors will flatter your body type. Salwar kameez is typically known to make the wearer look slimmer, but the wrong choice in style, color, and fabric can make it less flattering to you. For instance, if you are full-figured, consider light fabrics like crepe, soft silk, georgette, and linen. If you are slim or thin, consider heavy fabrics like cotton, art silk, heavy silk, and jute to add some volume to your stature. 

• Make sure it fits right – Refer to the sizing guide provided at the online store and do your own measurements. Be careful when choosing fabrics that tend to stretch and cling, like Lycra, especially if you are extra curvy. If you are thin, pick a salwar kameez in a size that fits you right, so it does not overwhelm your frame. 

• Mind the sleeve length – Long sleeves may be trendy, but make sure that they look good on you. A sleeveless salwar kameez may be best for women with toned and slimmer arms. Go for a full-length sleeved salwar kameez if you are self-conscious about your arms. If you have thin arms, and you want them to look fuller, opt for a design on the sleeves.
