For those of you who, like me, had never heard the term 'Patiala' before, here's a brief history lesson on the origin of the term. The name 'Patiala' derives from a city in Punjab of the same name. According to historical records, the king of Patiala (the exact date of his reign isn't given) used to wear baggy, pleated pants with his kurta and the design looked so comfortable and beautiful that the women of the kingdom started copying it.
Although this design has been popular in North India throughout the years, it has been gaining in popularity nation-wide in the last few months. There are many different variations of the Patiala style Salwar Kameez. Here are some beautiful and comfortable Patiala style Salwar Kameez designs.Click on the image for the larger version and the image source.
