Girls in Shalwar kameez

Girls in Shalwar kameez

Here we see a group of Pakistani friends at a party. Notice the outdoor canopy in the background. Clad in traditional party attire, these Pakistani females are wearing shalwar kameez and sari. Shalwar kameez is worn principally in Pakistan (known as salwar kameez in India). Derived from the ancient Persian dress of a similar type, the shalwar kameez is the national dress of Pakistan. It has evolved in many beautiful types, and Pakistan continues to dominate the internatioanl shalwar kameez market.

The Sari on the other hand is an ancient Graeco-Indic creation in vogue since the Vedic times. Heavily influenced by European (principally ancient Greek) dresses, the Sari is now the most commonly worn female dress in India. It is also worn in Pakistan, usually as a party dress.

Khyber College Girls


Here we see girls of the Medical College in Peshawar on their field trip. You’d be hard pressed to find so many beautiful girls in one single photograph! They’re sitting on the banks of a stream in the North West Frontier Province of Pakstan. Notice the picturesque bed of pebbles contrasting with their beautiful clothes.

The two girls in the pink and blue shalwars look especially photogenic. Their clothes complement each other and the environment, creating an impressive effect. Whether Pathan, Punjabi, Sindhi or Baluchi, Pakistani girls prove yet again that when it comes to style and beauty, no other women in the Subcontinent compare.
