Clothing in India varies from region to region depending on the ethnicity, geography, climate and cultural
traditions of the people of that region. Historically, men and women clothing
has evolved from simple and loincloths to cover the body to elaborate costumes not
only used in daily wear but also on festive occasions as well as rituals and
dance performances. In urban areas, western clothing is common and uniformly
worn by people of all Strata.
India also has a great diversity in terms of weaves, fibers, colors and
material of clothing. Color codes are followed in clothing based on the
religion and ritual concerned. For instance, Hindu ladies wear white clothes to indicate mourning,
while Paris and Christians
wear white to weddings. It seems quite strange but still people are following
their trends and rituals. And there are many styles and designs are available
in all kinds of clothing by wearing those you can make yourself a fashionable
one. Some of them are discussed below:-
WOMAN’S CLOTHING:- In
India, woman's clothing varies widely and is closely associated with the local
culture, religion and climate.
Traditional
Indian clothing for women in the north and east
are saris or ghagra cholis and
lehengas while many south
Indian women traditionally wear sari and children wear pattu
langa, Saris made out of silk are considered the most
elegant. Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is one of India's fashion
capitals.In many rural parts of India, traditional clothing is worn. Women wear
a sari, a long sheet of colourful cloth, draped over a simple or fancy blouse.
Little girls wear a pavada. Both are often patterned. Bindi is a
part of women's make-up.
The
traditional style of clothing in India varies with male or female distinctions.
This is still followed in the rural areas, though is changing in the urban
areas. Girls before puberty wear a long skirt (called langa/paawada in Andhra)
and a short blouse, called a choli, above it.
For men, traditional clothes are the Sherwani
Lungi Kurta and Dhoti or Pajama. Additionally, recently pants
and shirts have been accepted as traditional Indian dress by the Government of
India. A dhoti is from four to six feet long white or
colour strip of cotton. This traditional attire is mainly worn by men in
villages, and the sherwanis, pagri, dastar, Gandhi topi all these clothings can
be added in traditional list of man’ wear. But now the has quite change and
some fashionable styles has been added in this list.
CONTEMPORARY
CLOTHING:-
Western clothing made
its foray into the Indian society during the times of the British Raj. Indian
professionals opted to wear western clothing due to its relative comfort or due
to regulations set then. By the turn of the 21st century, both western and
Indian clothing had intermingled creating a unique style of clothing for the
typical urban Indian population. Women started wearing more comfortable
clothing and exposure to international fashion led to a fusion of western and
Indian styles of clothing. Following the economic
liberalization, more jobs opened up, and created a demand for formal wear.
Women's
clothing nowadays consist of both formal and casual wear such as gowns, pants,
shirts and tops. Traditional
Indian clothing such as the kurti have been combined with jeans to form
part of casual attire. Fashion designers in India have blended several elements
of Indian traditional designs into conventional western wear to create a unique
style of contemporary Indian fashion. Both mini skirts and shorts are now worn
by girls in bigger urban areas.
