In the realm of sub-continental fashion, there’s an unwavering liberty to push boundaries and go all out, effortlessly exuding elegance. While Asian women invest countless hours scouring for fabrics, collaborating with tailors, and meticulously selecting laces, linings, threads, embroidery, and other intricacies, their dedication often goes unappreciated.
From the neckline to the daaman, every detail is meticulously planned and communicated to the tailor, even when the outfit is intended solely for casual wear at home. It’s as if every desi woman possesses a natural affinity for fashion design. The attention to detail is what transforms an ordinary garment into an extraordinary ensemble. This piece delves into the realm of neckline designs in shalwar kameez and eastern wear, where even the smallest nuances can elevate the overall aesthetic.

The origins of this neck design can be traced back to the era when the Mughals dominated the Subcontinent, a period marked by extravagant lifestyles and opulent attire. The luxurious fabrics and elaborate garments worn during this time have become synonymous with excess and extravagance, yet also a testament to their keen sense of style. This traditional design shares similarities with the iconic Anarkali silhouette, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
↓ 24 – Conventional Collar
The concept of collars on kurtas and kameez embodies the essence of East meeting West. Historically, women’s shalwar kameez rarely featured collars; however, today’s fashion landscape is all about blending disparate styles and eras to create something fresh. It’s crucial to have confidence and a willingness to take risks in order to make unconventional fashion choices work.
Don’t let anyone dictate what you can or cannot wear based on traditional notions of fashion, as the industry is constantly evolving. Designers draw inspiration from various cultural and historical sources to craft unique trends that capture the imagination of consumers. The popularity of collars on kurtas is a testament to this creative fusion, with many Pakistani fashion brands like Nishat Linen, Khaadi, and Limelight incorporating this trend into their collections.
↓ 23 – Y Neck
Take your neck design to new heights by extending it to the hem of your shirt. The Y-neck style is particularly popular on plain or printed lawn shirts, which can be paired with a range of bottoms including jeans, shalwars, tulip pants, and tights. This subtle yet stylish detail has the power to elevate even the simplest of shirts into something truly sassy. To add an extra touch of elegance, consider adding piping or lace that runs down the center of your shirt.
Alternatively, you can opt for a more asymmetrical look by featuring a Y-neck design on one side only, rather than creating symmetry.
↓ 22 – Tassels
The humble tassel has undergone a remarkable transformation, graduating from its traditional roles as decorative trim to a full-fledged fashion staple. We’re seeing it everywhere – adorning the edges of our dupattas, gracing the ears of A-listers on the red carpet, and even making appearances in high-end fashion shows. So why not elevate your everyday look by incorporating this stylish element onto your shirt?
Ditch that plain old button and opt for a tassel train instead – it’s the perfect way to add some extra flair to an otherwise ordinary outfit.
↓ 21 – Russian Floral Embroidery
Russian embroidery is a design staple that our team simply adores. Its understated elegance allows it to elevate even the most basic garments, transforming them into stylish and sophisticated pieces. A delicate floral pattern around the neckline can work wonders in updating the look of a simple kameez, while the freedom to choose from an array of colors means you can curate a unique combination that perfectly reflects your personal style.
↓ 20 – For Punjabi Suit
Elevate your shalwar kameez game by experimenting with deeper, rounder necklines. This allows for the perfect canvas to showcase statement jewelry, such as a bold necklace. Choker necklaces are particularly well-suited to this style, but don’t be afraid to draw attention elsewhere in your outfit. A vibrant, heavily embroidered or printed dupatta can add a pop of color and texture that complements the simplicity of the neckline.
For a truly authentic Punjabi look, pair your shalwar kameez with Patiala shalwar for a cohesive and stylish ensemble.
↓ 19 – Ban Collar
When it comes to adding a touch of elegance to your outfit, the humble ban collar is often overlooked in favor of more elaborate options. However, this understated accessory can make a significant impact when paired with a kurtas. For formal events such as meetings or presentations, a ban collar offers a refined and sophisticated look that exudes confidence and maturity.
By choosing this timeless option over something flashier, you’ll be able to project a sense of professionalism and poise, making it an excellent choice for any occasion where you want to make a lasting impression.
↓ 18 – Lace Neck
Elevate your style effortlessly with net and lace, a winning combination that requires minimal effort. Among its many benefits, black lace with self-print stands out for its ability to showcase intricate details with remarkable clarity. When incorporated into a garment, the subtle nuances on the neck and sleeves create a visually appealing focal point.
↓ 17 – Chiffon Bridal Embroidery
While embroidery is often overlooked, it has the unique ability to showcase our cultural heritage and elevate an outfit with exceptional craftsmanship. These intricately decorated shirts make a statement at events such as formal gatherings or distant family weddings. To avoid overwhelming the overall look, it’s best to forgo necklaces, especially heavy ones, allowing the embroidery to take center stage and add a touch of sophistication.
↓ 16 – For Shalwar Kameez With Buttons
To enhance the visual appeal of your website’s homepage, consider adding a few strategically placed buttons, regardless of their initial functionality. This simple trick can add depth and interest to an otherwise plain design. Browse through your existing button collection and see if you can find any that match or complement each other, creating a visually appealing grouping.
↓ 15 – Ruffles
Elevate your Western-inspired style with a touch of ruffles in your shirt design! Ditch the standard V-neck and opt for something more unique and eye-catching. However, to avoid a styling mishap, it’s crucial to communicate clearly with your tailor about your desired look. Take a cue from our visual guide or explore online for inspiration that resonates with you.
↓ 14 – Side Lace Patch
When it comes to lace, why follow the norm by opting for symmetry when you can have more fun experimenting with unconventional designs? The result is a unique look that sets your outfit apart from the sea of standard, center-lace shirts. By embracing asymmetry, you’re not only making a statement but also showing off your personal style and willingness to take fashion risks.
↓ 13 – Incorporate this Western look with Cross Neck Lines
For special occasions, such as parties or formal gatherings, consider adding a touch of elegance with a cross neckline. This design feature draws attention to itself, so keep the rest of your outfit understated to let it take center stage. For example, pair a plain shalwar kameez with a bold, printed dupatta or shawl for a striking contrast that adds visual interest.
↓ 12 – Irregular
Break free from the monotony of traditional neckline designs and opt for something that truly reflects your unique style. Why settle for a square, round, or boat neck when you can create a statement with an innovative design inspired by the embroidery on your shirt? The added flair of a dupatta will elevate the overall look to new heights.
While this unconventional neck design may work better with longer shirts paired with trousers than shorter ones like Patiala shalwar kameez, the possibilities are endless when it comes to symmetry or non-symmetry – let your design, mood, and personal taste guide you.
↓ 11 – For Gown
When layering a gown over a kameez, it’s essential to keep the neckline simple. This is because the undergarment will be partially obscured, making any elaborate design redundant. Moreover, an intricate neckline can distract from the gowns, which should be the focal point of the outfit. A round or V-neckline for the kameez is a suitable choice. In contrast, the gown’s neckline offers more creative freedom. Consider options like an open round neck, as depicted below.
↓ 10 – Anchor Embroidery
Hand-embroidered designs on the front of a shirt can elevate its overall appearance, making it stand out from the crowd. The right combination of design and embroidery work can create a sophisticated look that’s sure to turn heads. For a more subtle yet elegant approach, choosing an embroidered design that matches the color of your shirt can be a great option. A classic example is white-on-white embroidery, which adds a touch of refinement to the overall aesthetic.
This timeless approach is reminiscent of traditional designs and can satisfy your inner desi fashionista’s cravings. Pair it with some statement earrings and bangles for a complete look that exudes effortless style.

↓ 9 – Tiny Boat Neck
As the latest fashion trends unfold, one style is making a triumphant return: the boat neck. While some may find it restrictive, there’s no denying the modest charm that boat necks bring. Top Pakistani brands like Khaadi, Nishat Linen, and Sana Safinaz have already adopted this design as their go-to for kurtas. To elevate the look, consider pairing your boat-necked top with a delicate chain featuring a petite pendant that grazes the neckline.
Add some flair with earrings of your choice to complete the outfit.
↓ 8 – Rounded V Neck
Upgrade from the classic straight V-neckline to something more alluring – subtle curves are the perfect way to add some visual interest to your outfit. While most people opt for the same old design, you can stand out from the crowd by trying a less common option that’s surprisingly more flattering. To take it to the next level, add a delicate chain around your neck and watch how it instantly elevates the entire look.
↓ 7 – High Neck
Elevate your style at formal events and gatherings by opting for a high-neck design. The classic silhouette exudes poise and sophistication, making it an excellent choice for dressing up. For a chic and elegant look, pair a high-necked kurta with either full sleeves or go sleeveless – anything in between can be overlooked. This unique neck style is often found in Western attire, but why not break the mold and experiment with mix-and-match ensembles?
The result will be a stunning fusion of Eastern and Western fashion sensibilities.
↓ 6 – V Neck
The humble V-neck has been a timeless staple in fashion for generations, and its enduring popularity can be attributed to both its aesthetic appeal and versatility. When paired with a dupatta wrapped elegantly around the neck, a V-neck design on shalwar kameez creates a stunning visual effect that elevates the overall look.
↓ 5 – Keyhole
The keyhole design is another option to consider, which may already be featured on one of your shirts in your closet. This design involves a small round hole cut into the front of the shirt, typically around the neckline. You can elevate this look by adding embroidery for a more formal or embellished appearance, or keep it plain for a everyday style. We recommend pairing this design with alternative jewelry pieces like earrings, bracelets, or anklets to create a cohesive and stylish outfit.

↓ 2 – Keeping it Simple
When it comes to the neckline, there are several classic options to consider. The simple round neck, V-neck, square neck, and boat neck are all timeless choices that can be dressed up or down. What’s great about these styles is that they’re easy to work with and require minimal alterations to look fabulous. Just remember to choose a tailor who can bring out the best in your design, ensuring a crisp finish that makes you feel confident and stylish.
↓ 1 – Off Shoulder Front
Pairing an off-the-shoulder shirt with a small, statement necklace creates a captivating visual effect. The combination is sure to garner attention and make a lasting impression. The softness of the neckline and the boldness of the jewelry come together to produce a truly one-of-a-kind look that’s equal parts stylish and eye-catching.
