Beautiful Patiala Salwar Kameez Designs

From the land of Makki di roti and Sarson da saag, the gorgeous Punjabi kudis have made the Patiala salwar kameez so glamorous that each of us have at least five different kinds of the Patiala suits. The history of a Patiala salwar kameez can be traced back very long to where the royals of Punjab used to wear this garb. The best part about a Patiala salwar kameez is the comfort of the dress by itself. Featuring some beautiful Patiala salwar kameez designs…

The Patiala salwar kameez requires double the length of material to make those beautiful pleats that meet at the bottom of the salwar. A Shahi Patiala salwar suit is the one where there are more pleats than the regular Patiala salwar.
A Patiala Salwar is usually worn with a short Kameez or a knee length one though we would suggest the short Kameez to show off the beauty of the pleats!!! Let’s see the various gorgeous Patiala salwar kameez designs that you can get done too!!

Who can forget the Ainvayi Ainvayi lut gaya song from Band Baaja Barat where Anushka Sharma sizzles in the blue, red and green Patiala suit?? This is the perfect dress for the pre-wedding festivities where lots of dancing is involved and when you wear this nothing can hinder you from dancing all night long!!! Pair this with desi juthis for added effect!!!

Still in doubt if a Patiala salwar kameez does justice to a pre-wedding party? Have you not seen Ghani Baawri video where Kangana Ranaut wears that evergreen awesome combo orange and hot pink Patiala salwar kameez with that beautiful jewelry and dances in Tanu weds Manu II?? When you see that you will know that the Patiala salwar kameez is perfect for all the dancing that happens in the pre-wedding festivities.

When you are making a Patiala salwar set for an occasion think of these things. Try adding a lot of bling by getting brocade Patiala salwars. Make them Shahi by adding a lot more pleats than usual and team it up with a mirror work short kurta or also a complete sequins filled Kurta. You can also try a sturdy brocade short kurta with a plain pleated bottom as well. In this case add fun borders and a lot of detailing on the top.

Also our very own Kareena Kapoor Khan who played the Punjabi doll in Jab we met and pretty Alia in HSKD thought us to carry off those Patiala salwar kameez in style.  Bright colors teamed with the hoop earrings and metal bangles this can be carried off for any occasion.

So what about the college girls or Patiala salwar kameez for casual dressing? Why not? Our very own pretty Samantha shows us to carry off the Patiala salwar kameez in a casual avatar where she mix matches with plain color Patiala salwar kameez. Apart from the plain ones, a printed (more of floral prints) with a plain top has a huge fan following with the young crowd.

You can also add lace sleeves, make it sleeveless and go totally OTT with the Patiala salwar kameez. Not just mix and match colors. Same color top and bottom in a Patiala salwar set also looks superb and it can be worn in a casual or a more heavy work way too.

Use bright fun colors and make sure to tell your designer to make the pleats fall well. That is the beauty of the Patiala salwar kameez. Best accessories include the juthis, the traditional Punjabi jhumkas and if you are experimental enough try out a Parandha too!!! That would be a super hit especially at pre-wedding ceremonies!!!
