Nowadays, the trend of wearing shalwars is peeking from different corners and we reckon, it will dominate the fashion scene for a long time. There is no denying that skinny pants and leg-hugging jeans always hold a special place in our heart, but in this season of scorching heat, we all crave a more relaxed silhouette and will definitely opt for our beloved traditional style staples shalwars.
