Parallel Salwar Suit
From time to time new names and styles were introduced in the Indian salwar
kameez market. Salwar Kameez is a basic pattern of traditional North Indian
dress. As fashion grew in the new era, the designing, styles and the shapes
of the basic pattern has changed. Parallel suits are an updated version of
the salwar kameez, very popular among the younger generations of Indian
women and many Non-Indian women as well. They are also known as a trouser
suit or pant suit in Indian fashion clothing.
