India is truly a nation
which symbolizes ‘unity in diversity’ phenomenon.
Just as it many so many states, languages,
religions, it has its different yet peculiar
clothing. Indian clothing or dresses represents its
culture and tradition. Indian clothes will change
with different states and cities. Clothing in India
is usually bright and colorful especially for women.
One might see a huge difference in terms of clothing
as one travels from the urban areas to the rural
ones. Urban Indian clothing has changes in the past
few decades and has become more contemporary at par
with the global fashion. In rural areas, people
still wear traditional dresses according to their
cultures.
Indian clothing for women is something that allures
almost everyone’s attention. It is one of the most
sensuous yet serene clothing throughout the globe.
The sari that is worn by Indian women is considered
to be one of the most elegant and beautiful dresses
in the world. A sari is a long piece of cloth that
is wrapped by in different styles. The salwar kameez
is also another dress form popular for females. It
consists of a loose trouser and a long loose shirt
with a dupataa around it. The clothing from India
especially the Indian drapes and folds have captured
the glamorous platform of global fashion with its
enchanting detailing and concepts in recent years.
The women in parts of Rajasthan and Gujrat wear
traditional dresses known as the ‘lehenga choli’. A
‘lehenga’ is a colorful long skirt while a ‘choli’
is like a short top. These women also cover their
heads with a cloth known as the ‘odhani’ which is
quite similar to the ‘dupataa’. Tribal women in
India wear unique costumes, which are woven, styled
and colored in their own traditional style. India
women’s clothing might change with changing states
however; its essence and its beauty will be seen all
across the country. Indian women are also known for
their heavy ornamentation. Indian ornaments
Like men across the globe, most Indian men wear
pants and shirts. Rural men may be found in
something called as a ‘dhoti’ which is a cloth
draped around the legs. A long loose shirt which is
known as a ‘kurta’ is also wore by some Indian men.
Indian wedding dresses are famous for their dazzling
beauty and embroidery all over the world. One can
see a typical Indian bride in an ornamented
‘Ghaghara’ (skirt) worn with a beautiful ‘choli’ and
an ‘odhani’ on her wedding day. This is usually
accompanied with heavy gold jewelry studded with
colored stones. Bridal attire also varies with caste
and class in Indian society. Some brides are
required to wear and drape saris woven in their
community traditions on their wedding. Men
traditionally wear what is known as a ‘sherwani’
with a scarf and a bright turban on their wedding
day.
With every Indian city that one goes to, one will
find a fresh tinge of color in its clothing and yet
the core or the essence will always remain same
throughout the country.
