PAKISTANI MALE SHALWAR QAMEEZ - PART II

Pakistani Shalwar Kameez
 
The Pakistani male suit, often known as the Pathani Suit, consists of a long, loose fitting tunic (kameez) with collar and buttons and a very baggy shalwar (trousers) made of solid fabrics and in masculine colors. During summer lighter cotton versions of Pakistani shalwar kameez are preferred while during winter a heavier, wool apparels are worn.
 
Pakistani shalwar is often paired with matching or contrast kurta - a long, knees length, usually collarless shirt with full, loose sleeves commonly accompanied by embroidery around the collar and neck opening. Silk kurta for men once considered an attire for kings and princes is now leading the fashion. The embroidered kurta, or kurti, in a variety of colors and styles is very fashionable to wear with jeans.


I love this captivating collection in blacks and grays (who said they look dull?) varying from light gray to dark charcoal - very elegant and even mystic, isn't it?!
