Many times, when people are looking for a comfortable pair of pants, they find a pair that are just the right length when they are standing—the cuff hits just right, the break near the shoes is chic and stylish, and they look great at the store. When they come home and wash them, they will typically shrink, or they find that when they sit down, the pants will ride up or the cuff sits just above their sock and will show their ankles. This is not a problem with Indian Churidar suits. Indian fashion has been making a migration and spreading in popularity over the past decade, making it possible for a larger group of people to participate and find comfort in the design of their clothing. Investing in Indian fashion is a great way to look great while staying comfortable.
Indian Churidar suits, often known as Churidar pajamas because of their characteristically comfortable design, are actually a combination of two styles of clothing. It combines the Churidar pants commonly worn by both men and women in India with an open tunic on the top that is also designed to breath beneath the cloth and leave room for greater movement. Churidar pants get their name from the way that they naturally gather near the ankles, giving the impression that the person is wearing bangles around their ankles on the inside of the pants. The Hindi word “churidar” means literally to look like bangles—”churi” means “bangle” and “dar” means “like”.
Churidar pants narrow more quickly than traditional salwars, and so they appear to gather a little tighter than the baggy looking salwar most people notice in Indian fashion. What makes the pants so comfortable is the design. They are just baggy enough to provide adequate movement and breathing room beneath the cloth, but tight enough to not be in danger of dragging on the ground or catching on surrounding objects. The style makes the pants naturally stretchy, so when you sit down, whether it is in a chair or cross legged on the ground, the extra cloth will give way so that you can sit comfortable without giving the appearance that pants are too short.
The ensemble is completed with the comfortable tunic, known as a kameez, that can come in a wide variety of designs and colors. You can find the style that meshes perfectly with your personality, whether it is a single color with limited designs, providing a look of simplistic elegance, to a tunic that is bursting with color and intricate designs. With both pieces of clothing, you will be experiencing the comfort of a lifetime while looking fashionable at the same time.
