Absinthe-Green Karishma Trouser Salwar Kameez Suit with Aari-Embroidery All-Over
Hand-wash gently with mild detergent. Do not wring. Dry in shade, iron on the lowest setting.
Description
There is a colour that lives between forest and dusk, and this suit wears it with quiet confidence. The kameez is worked entirely in Aari embroidery, a needle craft deeply rooted in the ateliers of Kashmir and the skilled hands of artisans who have practiced the hooked-needle tradition across generations. Here, that lineage finds its way onto a net ground, where the stitching catches light and releases it slowly, giving the surface a quality that feels almost alive. The Karishma trouser silhouette below is cut from georgette, falling with the easy, unforced drape that the fabric is prized for, and pairing a fitted leg with a contemporary ease that suits modern sensibilities. Together, net and georgette create a layered conversation between the delicate and the fluid, between visibility and movement. This is an ensemble well suited to festive evenings, engagement ceremonies, or any occasion that calls for considered elegance without ceremony. Pair it with antique gold jhumkas and a single-strand polki set to let the embroidery speak. Keep the dupatta pinned simply at one shoulder so the all-over Aari work remains uninterrupted.

Hand-picked pieces that sing gently with this one.
Behind this piece
Aari embroidery takes its name from the hooked needle, the aari, that craftspeople in Kashmir and parts of Lucknow have wielded for centuries to coax chain-stitch florals from fabric with extraordinary speed and precision. On this net base, the technique travels across every centimetre of the surface, creating a field of texture that catches light the way morning frost does on glass. The absinthe-green ground gives the embroidery a contemporary edge without severing its roots. Net as a ground cloth invites the needle to perform; here, it performs generously, completely, without a single bare passage.
How to style
For a festive evening, wear this with gold Kolhapuri heels and a single polki choker, letting the embroidery carry the ornament. At a daytime mehendi or sangeet, pair it with ivory chandelier earrings and strappy block-heel sandals in nude. For a destination wedding look, layer a sheer organza dupatta in ivory or pale gold over one shoulder and cinch the silhouette with an embroidered potli clutch. The Karishma trouser cut sits wide and relaxed, which means it reads beautifully against structured juttis in antique gold or bronze leather.
Fabric & care
Net and georgette together require a firm gentleness. Hand wash in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent, never wringing or twisting the fabric. Rinse once with clean water and press between two dry towels to remove moisture. Dry flat in shade, away from direct sun, which fades greens quickly. Iron on the lowest setting with a pressing cloth placed between the iron and the surface; steam can distort net. Store folded in a clean muslin cloth rather than a plastic bag, to allow the fibres to breathe and hold their integrity over time.
