Nothing is more a picture of North Indian fashion than Patiala-style suits fashioned from pure homegrown cotton. The red of the flared salwar goes well with the muted gold of the short kameez, characteristic of youthful Punjabi fashion. The skilfully embroidered motifs are atypical: wide shapely leaves along the hem, a panel of lusciously curving paisleys atop the same, and an infusion of foliage and petals along the soft neckline. Do not miss the booties that add to the signature beauty of the salwar.
