Neck patterns to best suit your salwar kameez look

One of the factors that make salwar suits worth the hype are the neck patterns chosen.

Here are some that you can try if you are bored of the usual patterns:

Scoop Neck

A low scoop that ends just above the bosom, scoop necks are ideal to give your figure a snug fit. No matter what the shape of your kameez, it is bound to make your figure look splendid if you choose to opt for a scoop necked one. Apart from wearing a scoop-necked kameez, you can even pair the salwar with scoop-necked crop tops.

Halter Neck

For those who love a bold streak in the way they dress, halter necks are ideal neck patterns to opt for. Not only are they chic and stylish but also manage to give the ensemble a sophisticated look. You can style shimmery halter necks with your salwars to make your look pop up amongst a crowd.

Asymmetric Designs

This is yet another trendy neck pattern that, while unconventional, has become one that is a must-try. As the name suggests, this particular pattern is asymmetric and fashionable still, ideal for a unique look.

Front Doris

This is one trend that needs to be as popular as, or more so than, the back dori. A thick thread hanging from the front with tassels or trinkets hanging from it, front doris are an appealing addition to your salwar kameez.

Cape Jackets

Cape jackets are a trend that has been flaunted with both modern and traditional Indian outfits. From being paired with denims and tops to being worn along with a lovely salwar kameez or saree blouse, these are not only chic but also a bold look to carry. Those with a great sense of fashion are sure to pull off this look without a flaw and create a trend of their own.

Short Kameez

While the kameez has always been a long tunic paired with a salwar, a trend that is widely being accepted as part of the unconventional fashion is pairing a short kameez with the salwar instead. These can be snugly fitting short kurtas, collared shirts with traditional prints, etc. that look ideally traditional and modern at the same time. 

Pair it with a Phulkari

No matter what the occasion, simple salwar kameez make for perfect additions to your wardrobe. You can augment the look of this simple outfit simply by adding a phulkari dupatta with or an equally jazzy dupatta that balances the ensemble perfectly.

Cut-off Salwars

Like short kameez, cut-off salwars have made an equally lasting impact with the salwars varying in length, from ones up till the calves to the ones as short as reaching the knees. While the lengths of the kameez can be whatever you wish it to be, you can as easily experiment with that of the salwar to make the look innovative and classy.

Poncho style kameez

Ponchos have become a favourite among women, more so during seasons like summer where every gust of wind is a much-needed boon, and even during monsoon wherein clothes need to dry up as quickly as they get drenched. Ponchos are perfect for such seasons, giving women the comfort they look for when purchasing their clothes. Further, ponchos can be paired with anything, including salwars, making a poncho-style kameez and salwar the perfect modern rendition of the traditional salwar kameez.
