The Punjabi kurta is the traditional attire of Punjab and is known for its lively hues, rich fabrics and embroidery. The punjabi suit features three parts kameez top, salwar bottom and dupatta scarf. The women's punjabi salwar suit style has become popular all over the sub-continent and beyond reaching even the remote parts of Ladakh. The outfit has been a part of Punjabi tradition for centuries whether Originally, Punjabis in west Punjab began to wear the suthan which unlike the Punjabi salwar, has multiple pleats and is very baggy with many folds. Instead of the Punjabi salwar paunchay at the bottom of the salwar, the Punjabi suthan is gathered mid way between the thighs and the ankles to fit closely to the leg.
The use of the Suthan then spread to neighbouring Sindh, east Punjab (which includes Haryana and Himachal Pradesh), Jammu and Kashmir. According to elders, Punjabi women started to combine the suthan with a kurta, kameez or jhaga and sometimes would replace the suthan with a pajamma, which would then be covered with a Punjabi Ghagra when going outdoors. This tradition, only dying out relatively late in east Punjab: approx. 1950’s circa. Certain members of the Punjabi community however, were wearing the suthan and kurti on its own without the Punjabi Ghagra, a tradition documented in the 1915 Hissar Gazeteer. Punjabi women also wore the ghutanna, a type of pajamma which was shorter than the full length pajamma, and was tight and ended at the calf. Eventually, the suthan was replaced with the Punjabi version of the salwar (which is not as baggy as other forms of the salwar, such as the type worn in Afghanistan (Khet partug), to form the salwar kameez outfit. It is this outfit which is very popular, which is also called the Punjabi salwar suit.
Before the development of the Punjabi salwar suit, the traditional dress of women of Punjab was the Punjabi Ghagra, Punjabi suthan and choli/kurti/kameez. In Turkic Central Asian culture, the salwar is accompanied by a tunic, forming the upper garment. In India, the upper garment is the jhagga (kameez). The Ghaznavid Turks popularised the shalwar/tunic attire in Afghanistan and Northern India, especially in the Punjab region. In the Ukraine, the traditional dress for men includes Kozhukh, Kontusz, Żupan and Sharovary (shalwar) which is a variation of shalwar/tunic combination.Salwar is the generic term used to describe the lower garment developed in different regions. The earliest form of the salwar originated in Central Asia amongst the Turks and its use was spread to Afghanistan, India, Iran, the Arab world, Turkey and wherever the Turks established their empires. The Ottomans spread the use of the shalwar throughout its empire.
In India, the term salwar includes the Sindhi suthan, Punjabi suthan, Dogri pajamma, the churidar and the Kashmiri suthan. The term salwar kameez also includes the Kashmiri Phiran/salwar outfit.
In the Punjab region, the salwar was made using a large amount of material but had no pleats or folds. The large salwar eventually gave rise to the Punjabi salwar. Muslim communities have traditionally worn the style of shalwar worn by the Mughals combining them with Mughal upper garments such as the jamma. However, the Punjabi salwar suit is now worn by members of various communities in India and Pakistan. The traditional dress of women in Sindh was the lehnga choli, of women in Kashmir was the Pheran flowing to the ankles, and the peshwaj The traditional male dress in Bangladesh is the lungi and kurta (also called Punjabi). Men also wear the Fanjabi, or 'Kabuli' which is a name that refers to the Salwar Kameez. The traditional female dress is the sari but women also wear the Salwar Kameez.In Sindh, the traditional lengha choli became to be complimented with the cholo (boddice), paro (petticoat) and suthan. The salwar kameez is also worn by many people, the suthan jhaga ensemble or the salwar jhaga (kameez) combination.
