Kameez

Kameez or kurta is usually defined as straight, flat and long shirt or tunic. Sides of kameez are know as Chaak. Chaaks are left open below the waist-line. This type of structure gives the comfort and greater freedom of movement to the wearer. Like salwar, there are lot of variations in the modern kameez designs like deep neclines, cap sleeves, sleeveless etc.

Boutiques are full of latest kameez designs that are inspired by European and ultra modern outfits which are know as Short Kurta. Kurtas may take any form like straight, A-line, empire waist, frock type, anarkali kurtas etc.

Dupatta

Wearing of dupatta to cover the head is must for the Muslim women when there is recitation of Quran, voice of Azan or other Islamic practices and is very essential for the Sikh and Hindu women she is in Gurdwara or Temple.
