Indian Clothing – a generation in itself.

Well truly an Indian girl looks her best in ‘Sari.’

Over the ages, Indian clothing has been continuously marked as something very colourful in its attire and wide ranging in terms of designs. India is known to have beautiful dresses and costumes and this huge variation is generally attributed to innumerable number of religious as well as regional distinctions living in unison. Though in the recent days, with the much younger generation the Indian clothing has transformed into something more like an Indo-Western blend and that is more widely visible in the urban areas but the first generation women still prefer wearing the traditional Indian garments as they feel it is linked and rooted to our culture and tradition deeply. The plethora of designs, the innumerable counts of colours and the more attention to detailing has been the factors making the Indian clothing genre more looked into both by the nation itself and those from outside. Unlike the women, the men in India now largely prefer western as most of them are seen wearing shirts and trousers and this can be attributed to the greater level of comfort and ease that these outfits provide.

Just like our Indian music and spirituality, Indian clothing is also seen to have a profound impact on the western style and culture. Indian fashion is kind of very rich in tradition, vibrant in colours and sort of synchronises with the very heart and minds of the people. The distinctive variation in clothing can be found if traversed from one village to another or even one city to another. Indian clothes are believed to be attached with values that binds us together and that is the very reason for a Bengali may spend the whole year buying and wearing all sorts of tacky western stuffs would not come out of his house without a kurta-payjama or a sari during the durga pujas.”. Even marriages or weddings are a strict no-no without designer saris or a bollywood anarkali replica.  

“Bold colors created by the inventive drapes of these textiles catches the imagination like no other contemporary clothing.” , Says an online site speaking on Indian Clothing. Indian clothing caters to both men and women and thus have, since a long time, kept the designers busy. The huge popularity and demand for Indian clothes have been regularly attributed to its beautiful designs, luxurious fabrics and the ease with which they can be worn anywhere and everywhere.  Indian clothes have also been successful in garnering popularity among the younger age groups as they designed keeping in mind the designs and fabrics that are in craze and the colours as per the acceptance of the season. Thus, Indian clothing is not just about its traditions and cultures but it also manages to synchronise itself with the ease and situation of the wearer.
