Here are a few easy tips to make sure style is always your statement even with Shalwar Kameez:

The kameez should be a little longer in height. It makes you look taller.
If you have broad shoulders then avoid wearing puffed sleeves.
If you have fat arms go for sleeves of about 5 inches length. This will hide the flab on your arms and your hands will look thinner.
Chinese collar (closed neck) makes you look tall, but avoid it if you have broad shoulders.
Wear a Shalwar Kameez around your naval area, as it will pull in your stomach.
If you have the tie strings on your side, it reduces the look of the paunch.
Tucks might be out of fashion but they give a very good cut to the Kameez.
Avoid Organza or any stiff cloth if you want to look slimmer.
Dark colors like maroon, red, blue or brown look very good on dark women.

Shalwar kameez is adaptable to any fabric and it is available in every shape n form. Cherry on top is how it brings out only the best in you if styled right.
