Salwar Kameez is a traditional outfit considered a classic by so many through Southeast Asia. Many countries and cultures in the area have adopted and changed the design to create their own iconic garments. From sleeves to length to drape, so many variations exist — though we still call them Salwar Kameez.

Perhaps these will inspire you to find a pair and dress it up. You do you, boo!
