I don’t know why Indians look up to the West for fashion. In India, if we look our heritage, our trends in fashion are multifold. Right from salwar kameez to skirts to sarees to kurtas; all have its origin in the past and are available in multi shades, shapes, and designs.

Take, for instance, salwar kameez. This wear traces back its origin to the 16^th century and is available in various shapes and designs, viz, churidar, patiala kameez, anarkali churidar, etc. As you all know, we have already discussed about anarkali churidar in my earlier post. So let me take this opportunity to talk about another style of salwar kameez, i.e., Patiala.

Patiala Kameez derived its name from the name of the city of Punjab. According to historical records, the king of Patiala used to wear baggy, pleated pants with his kurta and the design looked so comfortable and beautiful that the women of the kingdom started copying it. Thus, this beautiful and comfortable wear derived. Loud colors like orange, yellow, green, and other colors of wilderness often gives a chic look in a Patiala Salwar Kameez. Party wear Patiala Salwar Kameez with a lot of embellishments in the Kameez and dupatta are in trend these days. The dupatta of this kameez is generally heavily loaded with kundan stones and other costly crystals.

This comfortable kameez was mostly worn by women in Punjab but now days, as I mentioned, people are so keen to follow new trends that this kameez also became style within no time. And why not when bollywood actress like Kareena Kapoor sizzles in movies wearing this comfortable wear. How can you forget the colorful Patiala that she wore in Jab We Met, in which has performed the role of a girl from Bathinda, Punjab?

Nevertheless, I am really planning to sizzle this New Year with this billowing loose pajamas and a stylish kurta with lot of embellishments to add grace to the party mood that is taking its round everywhere. What say guys?
