A salwar kameez with enough presence for an occasion and enough sense for a long day. Cotton in gold - a pairing that photographs well and, more usefully, looks right in person.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. Measurements can vary by up to an inch, so check the size guide before ordering rather than going by the letter size alone.

Check the care label before the first wash. Anything with metallic thread or heavy work wants dry-cleaning; plain cottons and rayons are fine hand-washed cold.
