Wondering if two layers is too hot for the climate in India. Good article for Indian women saree. Hi… Nice article. Was actually checking for the salwar kameez… I really like it.
But I understand the notion of Indians being vegetarian since Hindus play a large part in the population and religion and they themselves are vegetarians. Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh — all except some castes. Almost all tribals in India wear a skirt. Most nomads and gypsies— ghaghra skirt.
The sari is popular in communities that oppress women. South India, southernized states like Maharashtra, Orissa, Bengal. The sari was imposed to make women asexual and tough to molest. The rural Shakta worshippers in even sari-states may wear a ghaghra even in South India.
It is usual for a ghaghra wearer to Don a sari when going to the Vaishnav, upper caste, or muslim areas to lower the chance of being gaped at, molested, or worse. Wonderful article. Very useful for foreigners traveling to India. This is a great insight into Indian culture especially dressing which will give them an experience of Indian culture and also keep them safe to a great extent. Lovely stuff to wear.

I probably will ask for a copy! Have fun and try something new. Wish I could be there to witness it all in person…Oh well…the photos will have to suffice!!!!! Men and women in India are draped and wrapped according to tradition, history and location. A dhoti or lungi , which is a loose skirt- or shorts-type wrap for men, is common in rural areas and in high heat, and most often it is worn alone, without a shirt.
Women also wore these garments and went topless until Muslim conquerors overtook large parts of India in the 12th century and ordered women to cover their bodies and heads. In urban areas men often wear long, buttoned shirts and loose pants called Sherwanis or kurta pajamas.
Women throughout India wear traditional saris made of cotton, silk or factory blends and the 5 to 7 yards 4. Hindu women wear short tops and slips or petticoat-type garments underneath and tuck the ends of fabric into waistbands. Other forms of wrapping leave cloth falling loosely over shoulders or covering the head.
Salwar kameez , a pant and long-tailed or to-the-knees shirt outfit made of lightweight fabrics is most common for women in more urban areas. Western clothing continues to increase in popularity in city centers, though the traditional bold colors and embroidery of classic Indian attire influence newer designs. With dhotis and saris dating back to the second century or earlier, and serving as a comfortable, cool and colorful feature of Indian clothing, they're likely to stick around for a while, too.
One Indian style that crossed cultures and is a classic in Eastern and Western countries is the Nehru jacket , a well-tailored, high-collared, button-down style named after Jawaharlal Nehru, a former prime minister of India. Sarees could also be decorated after weaving, using colored silk thread or using gold and silver threads or precious stones. Nowadays, most sarees are woven using mechanical looms and the fibers used are artificial polyester, nylon, or rayon.
The handwoven ones are of course way more expensive than the machine ones. The market for handwoven sarees is not as prosperous as in the past, but this kind of sarees is still popular especially for weddings. There are many different kinds of clothing traditionally worn by Indian women, and all of them are associated with the local culture, religion, and the climate. Mumbai is nowadays the fashion capital of India, but in a lot of rural areas, women continue to wear traditional clothes.
Salwar is a word used to indicate a lower garment, such as the one used for the Punjabi salwar and Dogri pajama. The salwar kameez is traditionally worn by the women of Punjab and is also called Punjabi suit. The dress consists of a pair of trousers that narrows at the ankles the salwar , paired with a tunic top the kameez.
Women usually also wear a veil to cover the head or the shoulders. This dress is worn by almost every teenage girl and a huge number of actresses in Bollywood movies.
Churidaar is a variation of the salwar. It is loose around the knees and tight around the calf. It can be worn with any kind of upper garment or as a part of the anarkali suit see below. This Indian style consists of a long dress-like shirt with slim-fitting bottoms. Indian women often wear anarkali suits on occasions like traditional festivals, annual celebrations, and formal dinners. Such occasions are what keeps traditional customs and attire alive in India.
Anarkali suits can vary in length and some of them touch the floor. During weddings and events, many women like to wear a heavier embroidered anarkali suit. The tops of these suits can be sleeveless or have long sleeves.
This is the traditional dress of women in Rajasthan and Gujarat , and it is also worn during some folk dances. It is a combination of three pieces: a lehenga, a long skirt; a choli, which is a blouse shell garment; and an odhani, a shawl-like scarf.
While the saree has long been the most popular dress for Indian women, it began to absorb elements from western clothes starting in the late s. Today, women are opting for the more comfortable and less conservative salwar kameez that is now worn in cities all over India.
Nowadays, women living in urban areas wear more casual western garments like suits, skirts, T-shirts, and jeans in their free time and have a choice between both traditional and western clothes at work. Fashion designers have blended elements of Indian traditional dress with conventional western wear creating a new twist of sarees, salwar kameez, lehengas large skirts , and other styles. Traditional Indian attire such as the kurti, a cotton shirt than normally extends to the mid-thigh, now has a more stylish range of embroidered patterns and designer styles.
Wearing a kurti with a dupatta, or shawl, draped over the neck and pants forms a modern and popular fusion of Western and Indian styles.
Most star-rated luxury hotels require their female staff to wear saree uniforms. While the male staff usually wears a Western suite with a turban to show the intrinsic culture of the land. Recently, the government of India included pants and shirts among the traditional dress worn by Indian men. Dhoti is the national dress of India.
It is from four to six feet long and it made of cotton. It is the traditional attire mainly worn by men in villages, at it is held in place or by a style of wrapping or with a belt around the waist. A lungi also called sarong is another traditional Indian garment.
A mundu is a lungi, but it is always white. It can be tucked in, up to the knee-length, or allowed to reach the ankles. Tungi is mainly a male clothing but is also worn by elderly women, mostly because of its good aeration. It is an item widespread in many different countries, such as Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Somalia.
An anchkan is a long coat or jacket that usually has exposed buttons through the length of the jacket. It arrives just below the knees, and it sports a Nehru collar, that stands up. The anchkan is paired with fitting pants called churidars, a kind of trousers that are loose around the hips and the thighs, but tight around the ankle. A bandhgala also known as jodhpuri is the formal evening suit worn by Indian men.
It originated in the Jodhpur State and became extremely popular especially under the British Raj. It has a coat and a trouser, and sometimes a vest. It is a way to put together the western cut with Indian hand-embroidery. Usually, silk is used. The material is lined at the collar and at the buttons with embroidery. The material can be plain or jacquard, and normally the color of the trousers match that of the coat.
The jama is a long coat popularized during the Mughal period. There are many different kinds of jama, even if they are not as used as in the past. However, some men still wear the jama known as angarkha. Pagri is the term used to indicate the turbans originated in the Indian subcontinent. One of the most famous types of turban is dastar, the headwear that symbolizes Sikhism.
