The traditional outfit for Punjabi males is the kurta and tehmat, which is gradually being supplanted by the kurta and pajama, particularly in India's renowned muktsari style. The salwar suit has supplanted the traditional Punjabi ghagra as the customary women's attire. In fact, the salwar kameez is now the most popular dress among the younger generation too! You will often see females wearing jeans and a t-shirt, but only when there is no conservative idea prevailing around them. When out in public, be sure to follow local customs and wear appropriate clothing depending on the weather and location. For example, if it is warm outside, you should not wear a kurta. Also, remember that in Punjab, where the culture is very much based on decorum and etiquette, showing even an inch of skin is considered extremely vulgar and inappropriate! Even in home, the female torso should be covered up with a dupatta (or shawl) or sarong. For men, the typical weekday outfit consists of a kurta with matching pants and a good quality leather belt. On weekends, people like to show off their lifestyle by wearing shirts with fancy buttons and embroidery, along with fine shoes.
