India is known for its culture and tradition, which have translated well into their clothes. Fashion has been a feature of traditional India. Much like today, they have seen trends come and go, with some making a comeback after a few generations. This adds to the spice of Indian clothing, and it had drawn the eyes of trendy fashion designers in recent years.
Traditional Indian fashion features different styles of suits and sari. Later on, variations of fashion styles began coming out and into the welcoming arms of the market, and today, this generation of Indian fashion has fused Indian tradition and Western styles that feature short tops and low-rise jeans that leaves one’s midriff exposed.
While styles have been known to come to pass, the Indian sari has retained its image of elegance, grace, and beauty. The sari has been there since the very start, but until now still has a commanding presence on recent fashion styles and trends. Sari is a simple, unassuming piece of rectangular cloth that can be wrapped around the body in a variety of ways. Indian saris are made from different fabrics, among them silk, cotton, crape, and georgettes, among others. They can be adorned and embellished with mirrors, embroidery, patchwork, pearls, and sequins. Some of the most popular saris are Kenjeevaram, hakoba, handloom, patola, phulkari, and chanderi.
Salwar Kameez is another type of clothing that has consistently been worn by women from different generations. It originated in the cities of Kashmir and Punjab, but the attire quickly spread to other parts of the country.
Indian attire is made beautiful by how it is worn, as well as the designs, patterns, and colors that were incorporated into the attire. Men’s fashion in India has been as healthy as women’s fashion. Men’s wear have also started incorporating batik, tie-dye, and block prints into the traditional suit, making men look just as fashionable and fashion-conscious as women.
