What a farshi salwar is, which kurti to pair with it, and how to style the full set for festivals and functions.
The farshi salwar is the ethnic wear trend everyone is talking about. It is wide, it sweeps the floor, and it turns a simple kurti into a festive outfit. If you have seen it online and wondered how to wear it, this guide covers what a farshi salwar is, which kurti goes with it, and how to style the full set.
What is a farshi salwar?
The name comes from the word “farsh”, meaning floor. A farshi salwar is cut wide and long, so the hem falls all the way to the ground and moves as you walk. The style goes back to the long, flowing farshi garments worn in royal courts, and it has returned as a favourite for festivals and family functions. Compared with a regular salwar, it has a much wider leg and usually carries embroidery or a border at the hem.
Which kurti to wear with a farshi salwar
Because the bottom is so full, the kurti should be short and straight. A long or flared kurti hides the salwar and makes the outfit look heavy. A solid kurti that ends above the knee keeps the attention on the wide hem.
That is how our Solid Straight Kurti with Rose Embroidered Farshi Salwar Set is put together: a plain straight kurti with rose embroidery on the salwar. It comes in cherry red, rose pink and parrot green, in sizes XL and XXL.
How to style a farshi salwar set
- Footwear: wear heels, wedges or juttis with a little height so the hem skims the floor without dragging.
- Jewellery: jhumkas or chandbalis are enough. Skip a heavy necklace with a high neckline.
- Dupatta: carry it on one shoulder, or leave it out for a lighter daytime look.
- Hair: a low bun or soft waves suit the flowing outline.
Where to wear it
A farshi salwar set works for festivals, pujas, mehendi and haldi functions, and family dinners. In a bright colour it is dressy enough for an evening event, and with flat juttis and small earrings it is comfortable for a daytime gathering.
Prefer something shorter?
If a floor-length salwar is not for you, a short kurti with jeans or palazzos gives an easy everyday ethnic look. See the Floral Print Sleeveless Short Kurti with Tassels or browse all kurtis.
