Direct answer

Choose the lower garment by its cut, comfort and interaction with the coat and shoes, not by an assumed compulsory pairing.

A shalwar offers a different shape from a close-fitting churidar or straight trousers. Try sitting, using stairs and walking in the complete combination; check the waistband, knee movement and excess fabric near the shoes. Ask the tailor to show the intended silhouette before cutting. The names describe broad styles, so the particular pattern and the wearer's preferences still decide the fit.
