There is no denying the fact that the salwar kameez is one of the most comfortable outfits a woman can wear. It has been around for ages and will continue to be so. Traditionally, it was worn by women as a part of their wedding trousseau. However, with time, it became an everyday outfit and you can spot many working women wearing this at cafes or offices if they are from south India. A churidar on the other hand is still an uncommon sight in urban areas but has found its way into the fashion lexicon of modern women in smaller towns and cities. Both these garments are perfect for pregnant women because they don’t restrict movement making them comfortable to move about all day long. Let us take a look at some variations of salwar kameez and churidar that are perfect for pregnant women:
Salwar Kameez for Pregnant Women
A salwar kameez is a traditional outfit for women from the Indian subcontinent and beyond. It is a combination of a pair of loose pants and a tunic or a shirt. Typically, it will feature a kameez that covers the midriff. The advantage of a salwar kameez is that it can be worn throughout the nine months of pregnancy. It allows for easy breathing and ample room for the stomach to grow. The only thing that you might want to keep in mind is that the kameez must not be too fitted so as to not restrict breathing or growing room for the baby. You can opt for a long kameez or a kameez that ends somewhere above the knees. The most common colours for a salwar kameez are beige, black or blue. You can go for other colours but ensure that you have a darker shade for the bottom to balance it out.
Churidar in Pregnancy
A churidar usually consists of a pair of tight-fitting trousers that are held up with a drawstring and a long kurta or a shirt that is loose-fitting at the bottom. Churidars used to be very popular among women in the north and are now becoming more common across the rest of the country. You can wear a churidar throughout your pregnancy and beyond. However, you might want to switch to looser kurtas once you are near your due date as the tight churidars might not allow enough room for the baby to move around or even put pressure on the stomach. Churidars can be bought in dark coloured fabrics such as black, navy or grey. Ensure that the fabric is of decent quality and is not too tight. You can also wear churidars in printed fabrics such as floral prints or stripes. Ensure that the fabric is not too shiny. Churidars can also be worn in a combination with a salwar kameez. A common combination is churidar with a long kameez. This is an ideal outfit for working women who are pregnant.
Salwar Suit
The salwar suit is a variation of the salwar kameez, consisting of a loose tunic over loose pants. The advantage of the salwar suit is it allows for extra room for the swelling stomach during the latter stages of pregnancy. It is also a great option for women who are breastfeeding. The salwar suit can be worn in the same fabrics as that of a salwar kameez. However, if you feel like the tunic is too loose, you can always wear a kameez over it. The salwar suit can also be worn with a churidar or a pyjama.
Dhoti Salwar Kameez.
The dhoti salwar kameez is the traditional attire of South Indian women. The dhoti is a long piece of fabric worn around the waist, like a skirt. It can be worn over a kameez or a kurta and is practical for the pregnant woman, who will experience swelling in her legs towards the latter stages of her pregnancy. The dhoti salwar kameez can be worn in light colours such as white, cream, grey or black. You can also opt for colourful fabrics such as floral prints, but ensure that the fabric is not too shiny.
The salwar kameez and churidar are traditional outfits for the Indian subcontinent. They are perfect for pregnant women because they are comfortable and do not restrict movement. You can wear a salwar kameez throughout your pregnancy and a churidar can be worn right up to the due date. You can also wear a salwar suit, dhoti salwar kameez or a designer suit during your pregnancy.
