The next innovation to salwar kameez after churidar was the short kurta pant. With westernization the salwar kameez adapted to fashion changes in the West in terms of cut, length and hemlines. The kurta did sneak up quite a few inches above the knee. And instead of the salwar, pants were worn, making it ideal for office and formal wear.

The short kurtas came in different styles, some embroidered some plain. The pants came in parallel, capris and bell-bottom styles.

Short kurtas are also called as kurtis.

For the fashion conscious, there are trends to follow every season. from the net dupatta and simple shirt-like lines of the '50s, to the boat-necks and the tight, difficult-to-walk-in kurtas of the '60s. The kurta keeps changing its shape, length and the number of pleats according to the fancies of the fashion world. Though the style always remains the same; the colour and cut changes with every season!

For some time now, the salwar kameez and churidar kurta have co-existed with what can be typically called fusion wear. we have witnessed a resurgence of short kurtas worn with pants.

Heavy embellished embroideries have been replaced with laces, borders and patch work. More focus is being given to the cut, color combinations and silhouette.

Emphasis on femininity is strong and colours like rust, green and all shades of blue are predominant.

One also sees design details like fastenings, buttons, panelling, sequins, tube beads and hand embroidery. the necklines are interesting, the designers do not believe in layering because it just adds bulk to a person's frame.

Short kurta pants are designed keeping the accent always on comfort, wearability and affordability.

Variation of salwar kameez seems to offer limitless design possibilities.

Indo-Western

The fusion of styles in Indian clothing and western clothing resulted in Indo western salwar kameez. These salwar kameez suits are specially designed to give western look with Indian tradition. An Indo western salwar kameez suit may have a sleeveless top and a salwar. Indo western salwar kameez suits also come in spaghetti straps instead of sleeves.

Designers have pioneered the concept of blending ethnic ethos and international trends to give a modern and trendy look to contemporary Indian women

The cliché that dressing is done to please others has become passé. Today's generation wears clothes to please themselves. Even designers belonging to the younger breed carry the same chip on their shoulder. "Designer inspiration varies with attitude and the 'in thing.' Detailing is important. Today's generation wants to show off their body without appearing obscene," says NIFT graduate Gunjan Karmakar.

Miss Universe 2000 Lara Dutta won the award for the most outstanding evening gown designed by Ritu Kumar. Author of a well-received book Costumes and Textiles of Royal India, she is considered a pioneer in Indian fashion. Her Indo-Western fusion wear has trappings of block prints, embroidery and craft inputs.

Churidar kurta

Churidar kurta is also a very popular Indian dress amount the urban class. It can be said churidar kurta has evolved from the salwar kameez. Salwar kameez is a loose fitting dress where as the churidar kurta is a more body hugging dress. Churidar kurta is more preferred by ladies who are fit and comfortable showing off their curves. The main difference in a churidar kurta from a salwar kameez is its pants. The pants in a churidar kurta suit are known as a churidar. A churidar is a body hugging pant and is longer than the legs. The extra fabric gathers at the ankles giving them a look of chuddis (bangles) hence the name churidar.
A traditional churidar has a drawstring at the waist, this drawstring needs to be drawn and tied at the waist. Generally women tie a one knot and half. Modern churidars are designed with an elastic band at the waist. This is very convenient for first timers and foreigners.

The churidar pant has further evolved into leggings, leggings are pants cut in a churidar fitting and are made of stretch material. Leggings hug the legs and really flaunt all the curves. Some designers are even designing churidars in denim material too.

Dupattas are made of the following fabrics, Net, georgette, crepe and silk. It may have a piping of contrast color. Piping on the border adds to the beauty of the dupatta.
