The evergreen salwar kameez gets an exciting redesign in the latest stylish designs tailor-made for little fashionistas. From fun prints to unique silhouettes, vibrant hues to blingy accents, the modern salwar suits for girls are both ethnic and ultramodern. So let’s delve into some of the happening trends for your little one’s Indian ensembles.
Playful Prints and Patterns
Girls salwar kameez sets come alive with playful all-over prints of polka dots, funky flowers, paisleys and abstract prints. These not only lend a cheerful vibe but also hide stains that are inevitable with kids wear. Mix and match prints where the kameez features one pattern, the dupatta another and salwar a third for a quirky look.
Subtle tone-on-tone prints like checked and striped patterns also look smart. Ethnic motifs like bandhani tie-dye, leheriya, batik and traditional block prints add cultural flair.
Bold Silhouettes
While the classic set of long kurta and churidar remains beloved, edgy contemporary silhouettes for kids salwar kameez are also gaining favour. Short straight kurtis, calf-length anarkalis, overlapping dhoti pants, palazzos and harem salwars offer variety. High-low hemlines, asymmetric cuts, angular necklines and boxy shapes also lend quirk.
Mixing and matching separates in these modern silhouettes creates unique pairings. Think short kurti with palazzos, ankle-length anarkali with cigarette pants. Let your pint-sized fashion diva experiment!
Vibrant Colors
Girls salwar suits today come in every color blend imaginable from the subtle pastels and earth tones to the unabashed neons and vivid jewel tones. At kids clothing stores, one will find the entire rainbow on display. Deep blues, emerald greens, sunny yellows, tangy oranges and bright pinks…every shade looks fresher in the soft fabrics chosen for girls’ salwar suits. Mixing coordinating color combos also works well. Team an ivory kurta with coral pink pants and throw on a citrus yellow dupatta for a vibrant look!
Stylish Modern Fabrics
Girls salwar kameez today feature not just the customary cottons and silks but also modern blends and knits. Premium pure cottons like mulmul, malmal and muslin along with cotton-silks, georgette, silk chiffon and crepe make trendy picks for the best comfort in our weather.
Intricately woven jamdanis, tant and bhagalpuri cottons and lustrous Banarasi silks also get unconventional makeovers as cropped or peplum styles anarkalis. Even the trusty old terrycot is back in vogue. Knitted yarns like modal, jersey and linen blended with cotton also make uber cool sets for tots.
Lavish Embellishments
Modern girls salwar suits feature ornate hand embroideries and embellishments that lend an occasion wear feel even to regular sets. Resham, zari, pearls, sequins, crystals, mirrors and more amp up the style quotient along hemlines, dupatta borders and necklines.

Innovative Dupattas
