Long kameez or solo shirts have always been
in fashion. They are a perfect way to add your own touch to an outfit
and bring spice to office work, parties, get-togethers, weddings, or any other
formal or informal events. Few years back career women would buy open cloth and
will custom design long shirts to wear over white or black shalwar and dupatta.
The idea was to own multiple shirts with a designated colour of shalwar and
dupatta, and wear a different outfit everyday with a different shirt. They
would wear these custom made shirts to their work. This trick made fashion
affordable for the workingwomen and also gave them a chance to do fashion in
their own style.
In recent years, designers and boutique
brands have made it easier for everyone by making long shirts widely popular,
accessible, and affordable for everyone. Now the women don’t need to go spend
time pink out the colour, print, and design for their long shirts. All they
need to do is go to a store or a boutique and buy long shirts to their heart’s
desire. This wide availability has also introduced the long shirt fashion to
all the women and not just limited to career women. Housewives, school girls,
university students, fashionistas, all are able to enjoy these long shirts in
whatever way they want to.
There are many ways you can wear these long
shirts. Before women wore them with shalwar, but now a days, especially in the
west, you can wear them with tights, formal pants, shorts, and jeans. Instead
of wear them with a dupatta, you can wear them with long coat, blazer, bolero,
and crop tops.
Here are four ways our models are
showcasing these long shirts.
This beautiful pink-peach kameez with
contrast colour karahai is paired with a pure silk Banarasi shawl. The shawl
not only enhances the beauty of the kameez, it also becomes an accessory to the
outfit. There are plenty of ways you can wear the shawl, wear it in your neck
in European style or wear it around your shoulders, accessorize it to your
liking.
This teal kameez is paired it with a kundan
and pearl necklace. The necklace adds a spark to this cotton kameez and brings
it up a notch, making it perfect to wear to one of the many pre-wedding
celebrations. This outfit is dressed up enough to enjoy a little family masti
during the wedding events but is also simple enough if you don’t feel like
dressing up too much.
The brown kameez is paired with a complementary
rope dupatta or chun wala dupatta. The dupatta enhances and compliments the
beautiful thread work going doing the middle of the kameez. The dupatta further
adds a simplicity and calmness to the kameez that is full of work.
You can wear these shirts in all the ways
mentioned above or you can wear them just as they are. This long kameez is
equally beautiful, elegant, party-ready, and office perfect as all the other
styles. Wear the kameez as it is and have people compliment you on it’s simplicity,
beauty, and elegance.
