What is a "kameez"?
A kameez is a traditional long tunic-like shirt that is widely worn in South and Central Asia, especially in India and Pakistan. The kameez is usually made of cotton or silk and is worn with loose-fitting trousers called salwar or churidar. The garment is generally loose-fitting and comfortable, making it a popular choice for everyday wear. Kameez can be plain or embroidered, and the design and decoration of the garment can vary depending on the occasion or the region in which it is worn. The kameez has evolved over time, with different styles and designs emerging in different regions, reflecting the cultural and historical diversity of the region.
